Guys. This is the mounting bracket thing for the Hyper 212+ cooler. It has 3 notches on each arm: the closest for 775, middle for 1156, and farthest for 1366. All of the screws are currently in the 1156 notches. How can I move them to the 775 notches? I'm tried pulling really hard on them towards the middle and they won't budge.

Need an answer pretty soon. I'm working on getting it installed, posting this from the living room computer.

Also, I slaughtered the Intel stock cooler trying to get it off. It was brutal.
 
You have to pull them straight up, do it at an angle and they won't budge. I learned that when I got mine.

Edit- Also takes a bit of "force" so to speak, more strength than you'd think you'd need to do it.
 
as Rad_Ed said, its pretty simple, no need for aking it harder than it is :laugh:

ill be getting mine tomorrow i hope, then i can FINALLY throw this POS shitty cooler out i have now :(

Warm as in cozy, inviting, safe.

I live in Miami. All we have are glass tables with razor blade cuts in them and drunk chicas drinking our PC water coolant.
 
MK thanks Ed. I was thinking the screws had to come out, but they just slid up and I pushed em over. I'll post some pics of the new cooler in a bit.

Well it's actually on my E8400. The DK is still cooling the Q9450 alright. I may one day put the 212 in my main rig but as of right now it's too much of a hassle since I wouldn't OC the Quad anyways.

Anyways, I've got some results:

E8400 @ 2.0GHz w/ horrible stock cooler
Idle avg - 47C
Max load (BOINC) - 66C

E8400 @ 3.0GHz w/ Hyper 212+
Idle avg - 35C
Max load (10 Prime95 iterations) - 42C

So as you can see, there's a friggen huge difference. The 3GHz run with a more intensive stress test didn't even bring it to the old 2GHz idle temp. Now don't think all Intel stock coolers are this bad (although they may be). Mine had an uneven base do to a tardnugget lapping attempt.

Here it is. I didn't want to have to mount it that way but the NB heatsink wouldn't allow it to go vertically.

Very satisfied overall. Big thanks goes to Cecil for hooking me up with it for a great price.

I will try to get a good OC on it as soon as I find out what's cockblocking every overclock on every Intel CPU I've ever used. I'm missing some option that needs to be enabled, disabled, or changed. But, that's a story for another post.
 
looks like i wont regret buying it after all :D

how is that lanparty treatin ya? they should be nice to oc with afaik, and especially that one, above 500FSB afaik :rockout:

It's a real nice board. I love all of the BIOS and physical board features. But, as I said I'm not able to run it successfully with overclocked settings. Not even at something really low like 3.2GHz. The memory has the right ratio thing going on so it's not trying to run at some super high freq. and the PCIe freq. is at 100MHz. Basically the same stuff enabled as on my AM3 board, yet I have no problems there. I've been having the same problem with my UD3P for a year now. Haven't been able to find a solution.
 
My setup's changed loads since it was first in here 150 pages ago :roll:
