Hi,
I've had my Zalman for a while, but just got a new motherboard, the Gigabyte SLI. I'm having problems fitting the cooler onto the motherboard, because the plastic backplate supplied with the motherboard uses plastic push pins for connection with the heatsink retention mechanism.
My cooler comes with "nipples" to screw into the backplate, however since the backplate is designed to connect using push pins, the holes are too big. So I'm guessing I probably need a new backplate.
Anyone else run into this problem and have another solution?
Thanks,
Adrian
