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 :)
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.
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.
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)
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.
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!
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.
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..
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.

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.

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 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?

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
