try reseting the CMOS... locate the small flat battery on the mobo, remove it, wait a few minutes, replace it and boot up. go into bios and then say "load optimized defaults" (most important). should be good to go.

Default LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit

This works much better that the push pin type. It can help keep your CPU cooler.

I second!!


I have a CoolerMaster HyperTX2 , it comes with push pins OEM wich sucks.. before with the push pins idle temp was arround 30-32șC . I installed the bolt kit and now i have temps of 23-24șC! . (those numbers are recent with same ambient temp).

Apart from the thing of not being in fear anymore of the cooler sudenly falling
