coolermaster hyper 212 evo ryzen install

Have had a few users come in with broken MoBos where they overtightened a Hyper 212 and cracked or warped the MoBo. Which plastic washers are you referring to? Neither in my motherboard, CPU, or cooler cases have I found any sort of washer. See this image of one of the screws just hovering above the hole for reference it's the same for all four: ģb. It would seem that I'd need to press down on the bracket as a whole while inbetween the heatsink and the copper wire plate in order to secure the screws into the standoffs, but I don't know how this can be done without deformity. I removed my original thermal paste and tried the bracket alone, as well as some different positions for the heatsink, and this seems to be the case. I think the issue has something to do with the elevation of the bracket after placing the heatsink on top of the CPU. Any suggestions? (Sorry for lack of adequate tagging, I'm on mobile)ĮDIT: I came back after a few hours of being occupied elsewhere.

This is slightly urgent because I applied the thermal paste and attached th actual heatsink about an hour ago and I have been trying to get it to work since. I'm afraid of applying too much pressure and breaking something on the board. I've tried repositioning the bracket and sliding the heatsink around on the CPU, but it never seems to work. However, when I begin to screw in one of the four screws, its opposite will raise quite a considerable level: Īt this point, I am unable to give this screw a few turns to secure it into the socket. I've confirmed that the screws are in the right position and the X-bracket is configured to fit an AM3+ motherboard. It all went fine until I had to put the X-bracket invetween the heatsink and copper pipes and screw them into the holes of the Cooler Master backboard I installed onto my motherboard. I proceeded to install the Cooler Master's heatsink.

So I installed my CPU into this motherboard: I'm sorry if this should go into motherboards.
