    I am replacing my motherboard and all is going well until I get to trying to put the cpu fan back on. I had no problems removing it, but I cannot get the stupid thing back on. No matter how much I turn the screws it will not catch! It says amatech.com on the top of it and I've tried to go to the website but it doesn't work. It looks like this other one here (different brand, but looks the same) http://microdream.co.uk/compaq-pres...ink-fan-socket-775-lga775-13g075135022h2.html What on earth is the trick?? :mad

    Nevermind... I am so stupid... It had a back plate that wasn't lined up. :-o LOL It's been an extremely long day for me and my brain is not functioning I guess.
