I knew this going in, but I still got frustrated lol. Thankfully, I saw a comment on Reddit that said to loosen the two brackets some. And once I did that, I was able to get both sides screwed in right away.
I mostly game and I haven't been playing anything graphically intensive yet, so time will tell how the performance is. But reviews for this and the non Pro have been great, so I should be satisfied. And so far I have been. I've been using their "performance" fan curve and it's been very quiet and it's kept the 9800x3d cool

I had never used an AIO until yesterday, a few weeks ago I got the Newegg 9950X3D with the free MSI 360 AIO (no fan on the pump). I'll tell you... After 20 minutes of Cinebench R23, the CPU was pegged at 90 degrees (almost immediately), not throttling (multi score of almost 15K, no OC, just PBO). But the VRMs reaching 85 degrees as there's no airflow on my sleek open air case was something I had never seen before. Fortunately I don't torture my PC like that all the time but still... Something to consider. I much prefer 6 or 7 heat pipe / dual tower coolers by Thermarlright over AIOs anytime of the day, but this one was free and I was curious. During gaming it stays relatively cool mid 40s low 50s with that AIO.
