All of the stock LGA775 heatsinks are a PITA...the pushpins are rubbish.
If you must use the stocker, install it outside the case so you can verify from the backside that the pins are fully inserted and engaged.

you should try Zipzoomfly.com, or Buy.com, if its not available at newegg. although i ordered all my stuff for my rig from newegg, it worth looking else where like the sites i mentioned up there for cheaper prices of the same products.

Also Highly recommended Microcenter or even tigerdirect as well
NE: $209.99 but it's almost always out of stock!
TD: $219.99
*Funny Microcenter doesn't have a retail 8400 it says "trayed" what does this mean??
TRAYED E8400
No further details there HMMMM anyone know?

"Trayed" = OEM, i.e., no heatsink and less warranty.

I second this. When building my new computer I skimped on PSU, got some piece of crap. It fried my video card, RAM, and motherboard. RMA'd all of them and replaced the PSU with an Antec... and the new motherboard works OK, the RAM is solid, but the video card still didn't work. You'd be surprised at how many deep-seeded problems can be introduced by a faulty PSU.
