| CPU Fan fitting tips please! I have attempted to fit a Akasa AK-824cu-BL to my cpu socket, but the clips are so stiff that I am unable to apply enough force to clip them on without risk of damage to MB. So, I have just fitted the standard Antec fan which came with the CPU.  Any ideas as to how I can get the Akasa fan on without stabbing things with a screw driver? Thanks - Dan.      |

| ive always found it to be a big plus to take the MB out of the case and use a pair of vise-grips

| Yes, vice grips would be much better than a slotted screwdriver! |

| I just tried and tried with my slk-800, useing the screwdriver as more of a lever. I hit the mobo a few times, luckily It came out okay.

| Well, take the mobo out, it's easier and safer. One of my friends once killed a mobo by hitting it with a screwdriver that slipped when trying to install a cooler.
