Normal
The Ghost cooler was the first cooler installed and it never booted.The mobo needs to wiggle into the case first, due to the small case. You even need to remove the memory sticks before wiggling the mobo into the case. Then install the memory sticks, and finally install the cooler. After you drop the cooler into place, then you need to blindly screw the cooler to the mobo because the large cooler fins hide everything.I was using the instructions on the right above that said "Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop." I thought that meant be sure to tighten all the way until they stop, otherwise why would they advise caution relative to when the screws stop. Now the instructions on the left say "gently".Still waiting on the mobo RMA repair.
