Okay i just got a new CPU, which is fine and has fit my socket fine. (AM3+) I got a wraith cooler along with it aswell.

I installed everything went to install the cooler and placed in on the CPU and (it has default thermal paster already on it) I cannot get it to attach at all i tried constantly and cannot take the cooler off as the paste has not set.

- Is it placed the wrong way round?
-Wrong motherboard? Though ive looked at the reviews and it says it fits.
- Do i need to wait for thermal paste to dry?
- I have place my computer on its side so the cooler does not slide off.
- Will it be okay unattached?

MOTHERBOARD = GA-78LMT-USB3
COOLER = AMD WRAITH COOLER.


Please tell me what to do and if i can continue using my pc without anything going wrong because it isn't attached.

Does it not have a little lever/switch on the side of the cooler that you tighten it onto the CPU with?
