    My mobo is the MSI P43 Neo3-F LGA 775 and the cooler in question is the ZALMAN 9500. The thumb clip (the clip that goes on top to keep it connected to the cpu) overlaps my ram and if I wanted to use this cooler I would loose 2 ram slots. Maybe im doing something wrong, but all I did was connect the backplate, connect the top connector plate thing, and try to push the clip down ontop of the cooler, which wont fit.

    Am I doing something wrong, or is my mobo not compatable with this cooler?
