Yeah, I think I posted something like this before here, but never quite got a good response. Here is my updated situation:
My case's (CM HAF932) hole behind the motherboard is oddly positioned, or not big enough, or not really compatible with my motherboard for some reason.
When I tried to put in my heatsink, (CM HyperN520), the universal back plate did not fit correctly because it did not fit like it was supposed to because of the hole size. The result of that, the back plate started to cause tension between the motherboard tray and my motherboard started to flex. I took off the heatsink and luckily was issued a RMA and got a full refund.
I plugged in the stock Intel heatsink, which works fine because of the tool-less push-pin mounting system. It does not cause my motherboard to flex.
But of course, I don't feel to safe with that crap on, bad cooling and probably shitty pre-applied thermal paste.
So I'm on a mission to find a good cooler, not too expensive, that is compatible with LGA 1155, and has a tool-less design such as push-pins, or a small back plate type thing, so it would fit.
Please can someone help me find such a thing, ****** is not much of a help at all. The only heatsink I had found was the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2, which uses push-pins. It all seems fine, but I read that the actual cooling is not that good (From a good source - Tomshardware).
Thank you, please help all tech-savvy people
