So I got a BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 and me and a friend tried to install it.. Like Luke already said in the video LTT made it's impossible to screw them in, unless the wrench would have an angle on it.

 

So we grabbed the wrench and made an angle on it (pic: http://puu.sh/eALoB/3dbcba24d0.jpg) and tried to screw it on then... With 0 success..

 

So we sat down and started thinking. Like it's described in the manual is actually the wrong way. (the right way if you're alone)

But if you're with 2 people working on it there is another way of doing it, more effectively.

 

Instead of screwing the little bolts on top of the screws that go through the backplate and mobo and then balancing on the cooler, you pre mount those bolts on the brackets on the cooler.

After that you trial and error the cooler in the right spot while the other person is screwing the screws in via the back. We found this an easier way of installing the dark rock. (although it's still impossible to achieve as it took us 45 min to do it...)
