cpu fan won't fit

Arrrrggg!!!!!!!

my boxed intel cpu fan seems to be too low. I can't push the posts into the holes on the motherboard no matter how hard I push. I bent the motherboard until I hear cracking noise! and I stopped

Is this a stupid problem? Has it ever happen before? Help!

nothing is locked. My cpu is also the e8400 too!!! The fan's so low, isn't it? so you just throw it away and use another one eh? Good idea.

thanks

Yup, I would recommend the Arctic freezer 7 pro, Great cooler for the price, no need for anything more unless you're gonna overclock quite a bit.

I might note that you stated you heard a "cracking noise". If that was either your motherboard or (more likely) your processor you've probably already broken everything beyond it functioning.

You may need a new motherboard and/or processor now.
