Hi,
I just fitted the Zalman 7000Cu to my Asus K8NE Deluxe board and am concerned about the fitment.
I took off the perfectly good steel brace that's on the back of the motherboard and replaced it with the cheap plastic Zalman one and screwed the pillars into it to hold it in place. I then screwed down the heatsink to the pillars.
The instructions were clear and I'm 100% sure that I did it right, it's just that it seems as though the heatsink is held in place extremely tightly. So much so that the plastic brace has bent and the motherboard is distorted now. Surely this can't be right.
The only thing I can think is wrong is that Zalman have a quality problem and the support pillars are too short.
I connected everything up and it works ok but I just don't like the idea of the board being bent like this.
Has anyone else had the same experience?
