  • lol buy asrock motherboard

  • Ooooh Unlucky xD

  • the v2 version of this is actally very easy to fit, even easier than the bog standard intel one

  • who invented pushpins and thought "yup, fucking good idea that"

  • i have the abit ip35-e.

    i want to buy a Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 but i dont think that go well.

    i mean it`s very big.

  • funny how the freezer 7 pro fits perfectly on the abit IP35-P that i'm currently using :D

    oh just by the way.. if you dislike the pushpins, google for "scythe 775 cooler stabilizer". replaces the pushpins with screws and a massive backplate :)

  • @Knaeckebrotsaege I do hate those pushpins :)

  • xDDDDDDDDD nice ^^

  • I faced this exact problem today. My solution for the problem: I bent the two lowest aluminum plates a bit with pliers and after that i cut a minor piece of the black frame of the fan with a hacksaw. The piece I sawed was smaller than 4 mm x 2 mm.

    Now it blows to the preferred direction.

  • thats not too bad. because ur power unit will drag the hot air away

  • exact same problem with my ASUS P5Q-e :C mine is blowing downwards that kinda suck good video 5/5

  • oh thoes waht they call it. chipset, bnorthbridge things

  • if this guy got liquid cooling he'd end up with frostbite on his fingers

  • he means that it doesnt fit

  • heatsinks are always a pain int he ass

  • did he install it lol?

  • is he just a retard or are the pins hard to get in place?/

  • To be fair, they're actually pretty hard.. Don't think it's about muscle and strength issues. If you push to hard, your motherboard will break.

  • lol, ye im not a strong guy xD but yeah was a bitch to get in.

    i had to remove the fan to get to two of the things. now i cant get it back on properly, its currently being held on by tape xD ahaah

    working well though :D

  • lol

  • you laughing at my tape? how dare you laugh at my tape! looool

  • they hard to get in place and if you install it the take it out then its even harder because the plastic pins get wider

  • The oversized northbridge cooler gets in the way in the preferred configuration (blowing towards the back). I have it installed but it's blowing downwards towards the video card instead of towards the back of the case.

  • 50/50

  • lol, you seen i have two thumbs down. just for asking a simple question...

  • better than those screws and a fucking back plate that just takes HOURS of holding still while screwing and then you drop the screw and its wrong screwdriver and you will search for a good one and then you cant find it(you never finds things when you really need it) and the screw got stuck at the northbridge cooler and you cant get it or replace it and everything is fucked up and you will have to melt your cpu for 500$! thats why those push pins are good(lol being as negative as possible hahaha)

  • there are clips to put it into :)

  • Don't think so, i think he was only demonstration off the northbridge being a pain in the ***

  • I got that thing on in less than a minute, seriously. Way better than the stock cooler, my motherboard is curved now, wrestling that thing in. Keeps my temps pretty low, but the pre-applied thermal paste seems to suck.

  • lol idiot

  • stfu

  • Agree ... cant wait for my Freezer 7, looks very nice :)

  • took long enough ¬¬

  • the fan blowing up the case shouldnt be too big a deal if you have a top case fan.

  • I just installed these two all i had to do was bend a the ac7 a little and snip of a plastic corner of the fan to get it back on. I have 100 contact and am happy though I wouldnt do it again!

  • why didnt u just cut off part of the northbridge cooler?! its easy i did it on my 790i and it works fine XD

  • Comment removed

  • You're fucking stupid,it's called testing to see if it fits,that's why he has the plastic cover for the thermal paste on,douchebag.

  • It help if you take the Fan off the heatsink while installing then reinstall it after : )

  • i dont think it fits it keeps hitting the other heatsink remove it!!

  • ROFL???

    wtf

    ure a gaynoob!

  • crappy motherboard. ABIT.

  • I had the Abit IP35 Pro (original one) for 2 months before it died......just poof....dead. Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L ftw.

  • i no how u feel, i h8 unrealble motherboards, Gigabyte is a good choice, they failure rate is much lower then abit. i heard

  • nub

  • it dount really matter which way its facing, if you got for example a antec 900 with the big fan on top, it can actually cool better facing up.

  • if it faces up then the heat sink will face forward, and how you going to mount it?

  • looooollll WTF!!!!! i bought this Cooler and i miunted it on my Intel D915GAV in 10 seconds!!!!! Maybe u must use your fingers??? ^^

    The cooler is not alone mount!

  • take off the north bridge heatsink and put a smaller one on !

  • lol n00b

  • Yup, but no matter how many review I read there's always the chance to overlook an incompatible part.

    Looking back, I wish I had been patient, ordered some thermal epoxy, and rotated the NB heatsink. The cooler would have fit in a front-to-back config then.

    Next time.

  • I thought this video was hilarious!

    The frowny face sealed it!

  • actually there is a method to fix this freezer... u have to take out that fan first... then fix it.. after fixing the push pins, then u fix the fan back..

    isnt as difficult, as fixing an TRight IFX14 :)

  • I just fitted one of these to an Asus P5N-MX. Had no problems at all. Awesome cooler for peanuts.

  • lol nub xD u can't place a cpu cooler xD....

  • Mine fits on an ip35-e fine.. just touched the chipset cooler a little.

  • wow thats lame!

  • Post more videos please, the your cooler

  • Hey same with my P5N32-E Plus so ive made do with the stock cooler, but i was thinking of putting it the way u just put it, heatsink towards top of case and fan towards bottom and as i have an antec 900 it would just exhaust the same, does it make a difference having it that way up?

  • I had the same trouble mounting this thing on my P5N-E SLI, and I ended up mounting like how he did it. However, I didn't realize it wouldn't fit until the actual mounting, so my thermal paste was uneven. Even so, and with a PSU right above the cooler, it keeps my Q6600 at 65C under full load. A bit hot, but hasn't caused any problems for the last 10 months.

  • although it doesn't look like it'll work with the abit processor:

    i know that for the p5n-e sli some shave/file down the obstructing portion of the fan guard (the black plastic thing)

    this results in a nice fit without having to readjust the fun and subsequently sacrificing airflow
