I ordered one off ebay but it just came with a jumble of screws and backplates and metal plates.

So ,

the fan/heater obviously
thermal paste
screws
clip


will that be enough ?

it also came with 2 clips.

I only need one don't i ??

Surely all I do is fit the clip on the zalman cooler,

and screw and clip it down to the socket that is already on my motherboard ??

I currently use an amd stock cooler
