How do i orrectly install a triton 79 to a asus m3a32 mobo the cooling plate fo the fan looks like it dont touch the cpu
It should just stick on the CPU, but I suspect that the heatpipes are hitting the plastic shroud around the socket on the motherboard. If that is the case, I believe you can remove that plastic shroud so that the cooler can settle down the extra half a centimeter and make contact with the CPU.
Since the cooler doesn't use that shroud (I don't think) then this should be ok. Is this the problem you are having? If you could provide some pictures that would be lovely.
Are you using the single AMD clip or are you trying to use the 2 Intel clamps? (the ASUS M3A32 mobo is an AMD platform) Sorry if I am insulting you by needing to ask this question.
Is it missing by the thickness of the Thermal Paste?
Sorry that I cannot help further, but if you need extra help, try the Triton 79 forum which can be found here:
