I need help installing this stupid heatsink... whenever i try, the clips don't go down far enough and i have to use excess pressure just to get it in... even then it doesn't work... plz... does anyone have this heatsink???? help....

If your talking about the clip that holds the HSF to the mobo, you can bend that a little bit to relieve some of the pressure on the heatsink, that's what I had to do on my Alpha.
