I've just been doing a dry run to see how thr cnps7000 lines up ready for fitting onto a P4 2.4c
With the Heatsink sitting on the cpu, the screws which go through the clip into the clip support are too short to reach the thread without putting some initial tension on the clip.
I can get the screws to start engaging with the thread, but was wondering about the final tightening.
Should the bolts be screwed in all the way until the underside of the clip is actually in contact with the clip support ?
OR is there a gap between the underside of the clip and the top of the clip support ?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks... Gareth

Yes I have read the manual, such as it is, but it's not clear how it finaly lines up.

Try clicking the rightmost image in the first row directly under the heading "components" the image says "click here"

Hopefully that's a bit better than the manual...

Thanks Geeky1, yes I have already seen the animation.
What I was really hopeing for was someone with real life experience of actulally fitting one of these.
I'm fairly certain that it needs to be screwed all the way down, but it would be nice to have it confirmed by someone who has done one for him/her self.
