did you unscrew the bracket before trying to put on the other one?

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

what bracket never installed a cooler before it was my brother who did it last time

#

oh i see

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:02 AM

#

it's under the motherboard

#

(ive taken the photo online) you should see something like this, not just holes

#

#

the bottom one doesnt line up, but the upper one is correct

#

this is the best photo i can find

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

do i gotta remove the entire mobo to fix it

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

if it fell off, probably yeah

#

you usually put the mobo on, when the cooler is on

#

or

#

remove the backplate

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

that’s what we did or maybe not idk wasn’t looking when my brother built it for me

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

no, i mean, rigth now, take off the back of the case

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:07 AM

#

uh

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:08 AM

#

the back is intended as where you put the mobo

#

opposite of the glass

#

thats the bottom lmao

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:11 AM

#

i didn’t see how my brother installed the mobo

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:12 AM

#

#

dear fucking god do you beat up the pc?

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:16 AM

#

no but it has been transported sometimes

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:16 AM

#

dear god

#

check the cooler mounting bracket

#

and see if it lines up

#

that bracket you have on the cpu is strange imo

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:17 AM

#

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:17 AM

#

chech the mounting plate of the cooler

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:18 AM

#

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:18 AM

#

i think ur cooked

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:18 AM

#

why

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

do you have another bracket*?

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

no just the bracket that came with the cooler

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:19 AM

#

the point it

#

you need to take off the old bracket, and switch it with the one that came with the cooler

#

but the case blocks 2 out of 4 holes

#

so you either remove the mobo, install the new bracket, and the cooler, and the put it in the case

#

or idk tbh, because im not sure if it fits, but it should

#

do you know what mobo you have?

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:22 AM

#

asus rog strix z390 f gaming s-1150

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:24 AM

#

#

you should unscrew these (hold up)

#

#

basically the ones with an outlined circle

#

and the mobo should come off

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:26 AM

#

why is changing a cooler so hard

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:26 AM

#

then you take off the old plate, put the new one in, and place the mobo back

flint shale Jun 18, 2025, 10:26 AM

#

balmy tartan why is changing a cooler so hard

it's not, you have a bad case

#

it should have been wide open, and you could have just took off the old plate and swapped it

#

this is wide open, your case "cuts off" the two holes needed for a plate like the one in the pic

balmy tartan Jun 18, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

z390 f gaming s-1150 btw

#
