Help needed: cooler doesn't fit on mobo

Hossa. I haven’t played around with hardware for a while.

Got the arctic cooler freezer 7 pro here, the asus p6t deluxe v2.

CPU is installed.

Now, I don’t get the cooler on the motherboard. Yes, I see the 4 “holes” in the motherboard. But they are too far away from each other.

After 5 minutes of trying, I took a tape measure: the distance between the holes is over 1cm more than the distance between the 4 pins of the arctic freezer.

Now, am I totally stupid? Do it miss something? It should be compatible?

Help please :slight_smile:
Thanks

Again, detailed:

  • ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, Sockel 1366, ATX, DDR3
  • Intel Core i7-920 Tray 8192Kb, LGA1366
  • Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Sockel 775

You’ll need a cooler that supports Socket 1366. You should be able to exchange your Freezer 7 Pro for a Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2.
