Wires that run around stock Intel heatsink interfere with blades on fan.

[TGagn1]

Just got my i5 4690K, and I chose to use the stock heatsink, as I won't be over clocking right away. However, when I installed the heatsink, I noticed that the wires that run around the top of the fan, aren't tucked down, and get in the way of the fan.

I am not finished with the build, I still require the RAM, HDD, SSD, and Video Card.

How do I fix this problem? I'm new to PC building, and I'm worried I might brake the fan on the heatsink. By the way, I love your products, Intel!

Sincerely,

Tyler

Dear Tyler,

Some ideas:

What's wrong with this?

Memory slot...

Eh, I didn't build this, but the technician of the shop...

So try to use the side wire holder if possible...

On mine there is two, 1 on top above Foxconn, and one on the left side,

hidden from this angle.

Sincerely
