Problem with push-pins

[Hitman_91]

Hi,

I`ve bought the Scythe Mine 1100 Revision B Cooler 3 weeks ago. But it doesn't correctly work. My board is a MSI P6N-SLI FI and my CPU an Intel Core 2 duo e6300. Now my cpu is at 1,86 Ghz 80° hot. I've pressed the push-pins so hard I can on my board, but they are constandly loose. what can I do, to install the Cooler correctly on my MSI p6n SLI board?

PS: I hope you understand me, because I'm german and my school english is not so good (i'm 15 years old). Maybe I can write this text in german too.

Hi,
there's the possibility to acquire the "Scthe Universal Retention Kit" for about 6-10 Euro. It should fix your problem.

Of course you can write your text in german.

Wenn du oben auf die PushPins schaust solltes du eine Einkerbung erkennen. Du musst diese so drehen dass die PushPins arretiert werden wenn du diese runter drückst. Schau mal ins Handbuch rein, da sollte genau beschrieben sein in welche Richtung die Teile gedreht werden müssen

Hi there,

genau wie Xtasy es beschrieben hat funktionierts.

Wenn die PushPins defekt sein sollten, senden wir diese gerne kostenfrei zu - dies machen wir generell bei defekten Halterungen. Einfach eine kurze PN an mich!

I have a similar problem. I had my Mine installed a few months ago - it always worked fine, I assumed - until today. While assembling a new VGA, I noticed that one of the bolts was not locked (hence some overheating problems every now and then). While trying to get it in place, not only I managed to brake on of the plastic tips, but also cut my finger on the aluminiun fins

Now the computer just won't stay on for long. What should it be? Can it be short-circuiting (is it possible? I am pretty sure everything else ios fine), or is it just due to overheating? If the cooler is misplaced (and the thermal paste is not reapplied decently), is it enough to overheat so fast - in a couple of minutes... 100º C!!!

What can I do to solve the push pin problems? One of them has a broken tip and another is not locking properly...

(sorry to ask this again, but I cannot undestand german)
