Hi, I have problems mounting a NorthQ Fan (NorthQ Silent Ice 11) on my
Asus K8N-E board. I cant lover the cam lever into position. It gets stuck
at 30-45 degrees. I have only tried without cpu yet and have tried any
posible way... Anyone have a hint/tip???

Thanks

Is this cooler for a socket 754? you can't use ones for
socket A or 478.

The product is here. This version is for S754.

There is a nice picture of the heatsink here:

It looks to me like the lever rotates from the 9 o'clock position
to 12 o'clock position, and then the latch locks onto the chrome
plated metal. Make sure you are rotating it the right way.

To test the rotation, examine the heatsink in your hand, and try
to rotate the lever then, to see if it rotates freely.

HTH,
