Oh yeah, I have one more question about that clip that looks like a cain. Is that used for holding the fan and heatsink together?
Thanks, attilathehun1

On the LGA775 (yours), the clip is basically flat and horizontal, and the screws
go vertically down through it. The screws go into the metal threaded things, on
the Zalman retention frame you've installed (top and bottom piece and four long
screws).

Heatsink base

On the AMD processor sockets, there are tabs on the side of the retention
frame around the socket. The second kind of Zalman clip, snaps over the
tabs. It looks sorta like this. And in this case, the Zalman clip comes in
two pieces, a long piece, and a short end piece that you put together.
The assembled thing slides over one tab, and then the other side snaps down
onto the second tab. So the AMD doesn't use any of the short screws.

I have a couple of questions here. Now don't tell me to go to their website and get their support. Their support is down for a couple of weeks. I have a Intel Socket 775. I want to know if I need to remove the motherboard to put the backplate on. Anotherwords, do I need to install anything on the underside of the motherboard? Also I want to know which bolts I put the pressure on when I'm screwing them in. Do I put pounds of pressure on the Four (4) Clip Support Fixing Bolts for Socket 775 or do I put the pressure on the Four (4) Bolts ( for installing the cooler)? Anotherwords, there are 4 short bolts and 4 long bolts, which ones do I put the pressure on when I'm installing the cooler? Or am I wrong all together and I don't put pressure on any of the bolts? Then, can you tell me what part of the components I put the pressure on? I have a feeling it's the short bolts I put pressure on. I would greatly appreciated any hints someone could me on installing the cooler.
Thanks, attilathehun1
