Hi! Well... I a have almost the same problem. I use a Zipang on a DFI NF4 SLI-DR expert motherboard (hence 939 platform). The issue is that I couldn't manage to set up my Zipang using the first notches (as they were when I opened the retail package). Instead I had to use the first notch on one bracket and the second notch on the other bracket in order to properly fit the cooler. I tried many times to mount the Zipang (with my motherboard outside the case) using the first notches but it was almost impossible. It was so tightly fit that it slipped from the plastic bracket and snapped right away and I was afraid I would break something if I try further.
Now the cooler doesn't slippage (or so I think) but I am still uncertain if I have mounted it as I should have (because of moving one of the notches one level up).
How is the cooler supposed to be installed on a 939 platform: is it really necessary to have both brackets set up on the first notches in order to get a tight fit? I almost broke my fingers trying to do that and I still didn't succeeded. And it's not the first scythe cooler I have or mount (I previously owned a shuriken but it had a different mounting system).
Is there any other (easier) way to mount zipang on a 939 board? Perhaps a bolt through system or the Scythe universal retention kit?
thanks!
