Bit of a puzzle here. I am using my otherwise well-loved Cooler Master Hyper 212.
On my dual LGA 2011 board the following problem appears:
- it has a fixed metal brace
- CM gives you a couple of "extension screws" to adapt the smaller thread of their HSF holder to the bigger one in the board brace
- however, the surface the "extension screw" is too high and the brace doesn't press down on the HSF when screwed all the way down
I have different generations of Hyper 212s here and all have the same problem, even the newer ones which are a bit thicker and have a different brace curve and are specifically labeled as "LGA2011 compatible".
The brace also doesn't quite fit when it comes to the distance of the screw holes regardless of which angle you use.
Is this a known problem? What are desktop LGA2011s like?
How do I hack it up? Bit of plywood? Different HSF?
Photos needed?
