Default BIG problems installing KAMA ANGLE B on Biostar TA790GX A2+

Hello
I just bought a Kama angle rev B for quieteness and i am surprised how crappy the installation is.I spent 3 hours fitting the cooler then i spend another 1 hour to lock the fan itself.For me it didn't worked with the 120mm channels i have to improvise..And after so called succesfull installed the cooler after i saw that somehow the cooler doesn't make correct contact with the CPU.The temperature in bios raise quickly from 30C to 102C where it freezes..I reseted the bios..The heat is not transfered to the cooler because the cooler is cold.I just don't know what happens.I put back my old Arctic Cooling freezer 64 Pro and the temperature was stabilized..

My specs:
PII 940BE 3.0ghz
4gb ram
4850 512mb
TA790GX A2+ MB

This is the only way i could fit the springs so the cooler actually don't fall...


Update: OK OK update...I made it after all...After another 2 hour...If i make a combination like position 1 (from down upwards) and position 3 on the other side there is almost no touch with the CPU but i couldn't see that of course.I just felt it with very high temp and freezing..On position 1 + position 2 the temperature sill rised but much slower and after MUCH fighting i could fit 1 + 1 positions.VERY very big effort to put in 1 + 1.This should be made easier because is the default bracket of AM2+ mainboards :S

Thread can be closed

Also i broke some fins when i put very much pressure on one side with screwdrivers..Basically my guarantee is terminated

Nice
1 suggestion..I went at least 5 times on that page but didn't saw it clickable..Put a play sign o those like on youtube (some dumb people just go over and over on that page and don't see that those are actually clickable videos and may think they are simple manuals)
