    i have a SKT 775 p4 motherboard

    u put the fan into 4 holes around the p4 through the board - the same as the heatsink holder goes in older socket boards - but 1 doesnt fully click down - u have to turn the little bit clockwise or something - it is still right through the other end of the motherboard and the fan seem solid in place just not down as much in one corner as the rest - seems too tight to get down. the motherboard is bending slightly because the fan is in so tightly.

    will this damage my p4 if this is not FULLY locked down?

    i think it'll probably be ok if it solid on the proccessor, but i would probably use some themal paste just to make sure

    oh, sorry, just presumed it was a H/S & fan, but if its just a fan as you say, then yeah it'll be fine, as the air is flowing well.
