I've been looking around for quite a while, I can't find one single online manual to read from. The Phanteks site doesn't even have one... All they have is the compatibility guide...
Any help?
Installing the heatsink is similar, use the proper AMD backplate and stand offs, instead of the intel ones. Fan installation is still the same...
It's not hard to use the metal brackets to install the fans. Clip and attach.
Here are some pics. I only showed one pic of the AMD parts you needed.
The manual only guides you on how to install the Intel heatsink, not the AMD heatsink http://imgur.com/a/K1NXd#0

Proud member of the MCF AWA war of '13! if someone suggests Alienware or Cyberpower, wait for a custom-built list from someone who knows their stuff. Meh Rig

Ok so then just use the AMD parts in the same way as the intel way

Okay, I was scared to take off those stock brackets... I thought they were important...
I'm really nervous about my actions..
I'll wait a little to make sure I don't need to..
Edit: Phanteks didn't include their own AMD backplate.. should I use the one that came with the mobo?

Are you kidding me? You're complaining about the instruction manual, when it says straight on it, in the pic that you gave us, that you need to use the stock one!

Okay, I'm really stupid... I found the steps for it... It says I need to take off a retention module for my stock CPU cooler, and Install the Phanteks Solisku. The retention module are those 2 black things next the socket right?

Sorry it took a while, I was distracted a little.
The big TV is the 82" my uncle got.
The tons of money was the money I had before I bought my computer.
The stack of boxes are the computer parts.
The rest, self explanitory

Will I have to put the thermal paste back on? I was scared for my life doing that.... I felt like I was putting WAY to much pressure on the CPU
i would put fresh on just to make sure it makes good contact, all you need is a tiny bit in the middle of the CPU, but yeah cooler does seem to take some pressure
Okay, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to fit the motherboard in, something I'm deathly afraid of... Do I keep pushing it, until I can see the holes to put the screws in?

It says specifically on the instruction booklet that you need it.

usually they blow out the back to let more air pass over the fins to transfer more heat from the CPU, i'd recommend turning it
