i5 heatsink?

Hi, sorry for these posts ;-; I just want to ensure I'm not messing anything up.

 

How do I know if my heatsink is seated correctly? It's not moving or anything and I sorta pushed on the pegs (stock intel cooler).

 

If it's not moving / sitting firmly, is that seated correctly?

Line up the "pegs" with the holes on the motherboard, push the pegs (X pattern) till the click. Plug in the Fan. Profit.

 

That is how I do it at least.

I assume this is for the stock Intel heatsink? Check the backside of the motherboard and look at the clear/white plastic pegs that go through the holes. If all 4 corners are pushed in correctly, you will be able to see a black pin splitting the clear pegs.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

Yes, it does look like that.
