Edit #2: Finally got it on, and it was a b***h figuring out. Now that I've got it figured out I could whip through it with ease, but the learning curve was ridiculous. I'd say it was more trouble than it was worth but this cooler seems to be the best bang for the buck so I won't go that far. Hopefully this lives up to its reputation.
Really struggling with this CRYORIG H7 install. I do not understand how you can hold this huge thing in place with one hand while lifting the motherboard with the other, then having to balance the standing motherboard while trying to get the screws in. I really have to be missing something here because this does not seem like a logical process to me, yet YT videos make it look so easy.
Edit: I'm able to decently hold the H7 in place while flipping the motherboard up now, but it seems like I'm handicapped by two issues:
1) The bracket of the H7 that the screws go into is crooked/curved up on one end. The cooler will sit on three of the screws but the fourth will not reach at all. (Back right in the picture)
2) This would probably be an issue with any motherboard, but the three screws holding down the CPU bracket make it difficult to sit the backplate flush on the mobo, or at least make it steady.
Issue #2 could possibly be a non-issue if the H7 bracket wasn't crooked and I could get all four screws to meet the H7 bracket. Thinking about exchanging this H7 for another.
