Stupid me... where does the black washer go ?? 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0
Hi all,

I cant believe my luck, decided to remove the retention bracket completely to make it easier to change from 1366 to 775, and as i did the small black hex washer fell on the floor, now all i need to know is, does it go below the retention bracket or above the retention bracket.
If anyone could let me know it would be much appreciated.


p.s.

I read a few places that people had trouble with removing the "C" clips, i found that a corkscrew from a xmas cracker last year was perfect, and the corkscrew acts as a hook as well. sad i know but it worked a treat.

Hey Sadsack

It goes Screw>Washer>Bracket>CPU.

Good tip on the corkscrew.

Thanks for that youeffsee,

Well it is now installed, one of the rubber fan mounts fell apart as i tried to wiggle it through, so decided to replace just that one with a screw instead.

Only prob i had was with manipulating it into place, had to get the wife to help as i didn't like the idea of it dropping on my new P5Q-E.
Hoping this is going to work well with a Q9400 Quad.

P.S. if anyone is interested it's been installed into a Cooler Master Haf 922, The Haf can still use a 120mm fan in the bottom part of the side panel without coming into contact with the Domino.

Thanks again, youeffsee

The pictures on the site, and in the install guide show screw-bracket-washer-waterblock-CPU. in every pic I have seen, the screw is right up against the bracket and there is a small gap between the bracket and the waterblock.

Sadsack,

The washer goes between black screw and the CPU water block. It is only used to hold the CPU water block on while you install the Domino ALC.

good work.
