LGA775 cooler on i5 3570k

[3.0charlie]

I have a few on hand too, but they are so cheap it's not worth any shipping cost if sold.

OP, follow this link; you will find a pic of my board with 212s installed. It shows the side fan clips, and how they can be adjusted in height.

The fan clips are held into a channel on the heatsink with spring pressure and as such it's easy to slide the whole fan assy up if you have to.

Sorry about that, here it is: 3.0charlie`s SuperPi - 32M score: 10min 29sec 94ms with a Xeon X5560

Wilson's pic shows the old clip were as the newer version is plastic, but same principle applies.

Damn... I forgot that they changed the clip. Much preferred the old spring style. ;)

Thanks, ended up going ahead with the 212. I can't install memory in the first slot because of the fan but for now it's no big deal I've only got 2 sticks and don't have any need to upgrade really...

I attached a pic, I think it turned out pretty good. I've had prime95 running for +1hr and my temps haven't exceeded 50C

Make sure your ram is installed into A2 and B2 for dual channel.
