Hyper 212 EVO Install Issue

hi,

yesterday I bought the hyper 212 evo and when i tried to install it i had many problems like...

 

- getting the x bracket to line up with the rises on my motherboard 

- the little heatsink block under the copper (or brass ?) pipes is hanging slightly off my CPU sort of like in this picture (sorry, i would've taken a pic of the actual issue, but i'm not home).

only being my 3rd build, i'm crazy worried that this is gonna do something to the processor. 


also something important to note is that the brass heatsink pipes are touching the top quarter inch of the processor that isn't covered. basically its just not aligned right and can't seem to be fixed. any advice would be great.

What kind of alignment problems with the X? Are you in the correct notch (There are 3 notches for screws on the ends of the x). I also had an alignment problem, and turns out I wasn't using the correct notch.

sorry for the late response...

 

- Razor88 i'm most definitely in the correct notch. 

- cooperman its funny thats the video i used to install it

 

but anyways i think its alright, everything seems to be running alright except for TMPIN2 on CPUID HW Monitor which is reading that as 128C ... i believe this is a problem with the hw monitor because i looked it up and people were having the exact same problem.
