    Right, so i chickened out of the Intel and went with a cheap AM2 solution to keep me going for a few months.

    I have a slight hiccup with the assembly at the moment tho, with regards the CPU fan.

    I installed it, with much fuss, yet the retention clip lock thing (the little black lever) doesnt seem to want to flip over to the other side. Does it require a lot of force or have i messed up the fan installation?

    Oh, its the standard boxed fan for the AM2 socket, with the black clip on the mobo, etc.

    Force it, they seem to be overly stiff.
