    Hi I am just wondering is there any coolers that are not a gigantic pain to fit, such as not the Gelid Tranquillo.

    I think i would prefer a good push pin fan if there is one, not one with like spring screws.

    The Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Pro uses Arctic's own take on push pins as shown here:

    The black mounting frame is placed on the motherboard, the white pins are then pushed through, then the black pins to lock the frame in. The cooler is then placed ontop of the CPU and screwed into the mounting frame. The two L shape brackets are for AMD mounting.
