CPU Cooler questions

[A04771]

So I just got my Cryorig H7. And when I try to attatch it. The mounting legs are unbalanced like that so I can't screw the legs. I can screw only 3 of them. Is this normal or is there a problem?

I dont think coolers of any sort are meant to be mounted with only 3 legs, if they have support for 4.

Sounds to me like you're trying to fully tighten each screw at a time. You should be able to get all 4 screws started and then tighten them down, you want even pressure on each mount point so tighten opposite corners at the same time

try screwing the legs in a cross pattern.

Should be bent. tighted in a cross pattern. think of the 4 points as a graph. go in order of quadrant 1,3,2,4

They're bent up so when you start to screw it down it applies it's own pressure to maintain good contact with the IHS. As other people said before, screw it down in a cross pattern little by little and it should be fine.
