FM2 Installation

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

I had some issues trying to get the cooler on. I couldn't get the latches on the brackets so I had to slide the cooler around a little bit. This OK? I have never had a problem like this before.

That's fine.

First time with installing an AMD CPU and I have a quick question. With the retention arm do you just lift it up or push it to the side like with intel CPUs?

Don't force what down? The CPU or arm. I know not to push on the cpu.
