Issue sitting a CPU cooler...

[gonfalons]

having a hell of a time trying to seat the Argon ar06 cpu cooler. I have spetn a couple of hours on this and its not getting any better. I have tried to follow intstructions but the cooler does not align up evenly and I cannot fit the cooler in from the back. If I press on any corner of the cooler, it wobbles. The screws are not long enough from the back to be screwed in. The best I have done is 3/4, but one screw is slightly off and not fully exposed/accessible from the back.

 

Attaching a photo of one of the many attempts.. this is roughly what it ends up looking like each time.

I have tried to re-seat the screws about ten times with no luck.

are you using the right mounting hardware?

Did it not come with a backplate?

Hmm, installation should be simple, just double check and make sure you have the mounting brackets on the right way

the attaching hardware needed on the back of the motherboard uses washers and shoulder nuts as per the manual/instructions:

i have seen and followed these instructions, it did not inclde a backplate or washers though (as in step #5). When I reach #5, as shown in the pictures, the screws are not all accessible at the same time, and barely stick up beyond the back.

the nuts on the back as shouldered and do not need a lot of thread coming through the mobo

I can't manage to get all screws to show ANY thread at the same time, just some of them. it did not look like much needed to come out, I Was able to sit 3/4 of the screws on, but one screw was misaligned or something, It would not be able to go through the hole even if it were much longer.. I could get 3/4 of the screws plugged in even though they look as pictured above; the issue is if I press on one corner the alternative one ends up lifting up (drawing screws in).
