CPU / COOLing Fan Install problem

[OpaGT]

OMG

so i got all my new stuff ..

But i cant get the stock Intel CPU COOLER onto the motherboard

One side goes in easy .. the other side doesnt ?!

Anyone run into this before and know a trick to gettin the Heatsink CPU fan in ???

[xMrBunglex]

twist the push pin counter-clockwise and see if it goes in easier. and it's generally frowned upon to start a thread with "OMG."

Ill try that out ..

so far so many different things .. nothing working

[OpaGT]

ok so .. i managed to get all the pins in .. but one corner is not perfect ?

is that gonna matter? i see the HEatsink is touching .. should be ok ?

Also .. if this doesnt work good .. can you recommend a good CPU fan for a socket 775>?

Budget? The Thermalright 120 sounds like a winner if you want the best...
