Doesnt work: Gigabyte MA770 UD3P+Scythe Ninja 2 Rev B

[mayleen]

Hey out there!

I tried to apply the Ninja 2 Rev B on my Gigabyte MA770 UD3P. But the heatsink clamp just slipped off again and again. No matter what I tried.

I have the distinct impression that the length of the AM3 retention kit that was deliviered with the Ninja 2 is just too long?!
Is that possible or am I just too stupid to get that right?!

Help is appreciated!

PS: To cut it short I ll take any alternate retention kit that will fit that heatsink and my board?! Didnt find one so far.

Hello mayleen,

it work fine, but you need to understand the mechanism of this clip. Please check first our flash animation "MSMC Clip Installation Guide for AMD".
Flash Animation you can find here - Ninja 2 Rev B: Scythe EU GmbH

I followed these instructions the first time. Even though I did the second clamp slipped off.
