Starting with a subject close to my heart, make some suggestions as to what you want to see on OC3D here
With customer care forums offering support, advice and some awesome offers, check out our support forums. Komplett are the latest to join in and can be found here. Others are NanoPoint , TekHeads , SpecialTech and WatercoolingUK!
Modding is a big part of OC3D and some of our members are a little bit handy with a Dremel. Check out markklebbs newest project CrossFlo Xtreme, or take a look at what quietfreak has been up to on his CPU WC Build Log especially if you're a fan of silence. Our Projects Forum is full up of great mods. Alternatively if you want to see some finished product, check out our extensive Rig Gallery for some awesome mods and classic builds.
If you're into benching then take a look at our BenchMarks Forum, including our own HWBOT threads.
Our Folding@Home Team is coming along nicely and we're always on the lookout for new members to contribute to one of the worlds greatest distributed computing causes.

Well it's about careful brute force really. Get one side hooked over then carefully but very firmly apply downward pressure on the other side

Okay. I'll give it one more try :)
Might be worth checking round the CPU area to see if there is something obstructing the cooler itself. Caps sometimes get in the way
Had another go, no luck :( I can manage to get it over on the left side.. But when I try to put it onto the right side the left side comes off.
Fitted, :)
Excellent work :)
Did you get an RMA on the CPU?
If not and it's sitting there I'll take it off your hands :)

Rma?
Basically did you return it?
Ahh no.. It came with the PC... I didn't built it.
CSS Valid
So my new CPU came today and I want another try.. But the thing is I can't get it hooked over the retention board... Because my Chipset is so close and I can't really get my fingers in. Don't really wanna go taking my PC apart to install it. It does fit. because my socket is 939 AMD 64.
