You can try *carefully* bending those resistors back a little so you can snap that retainer properly. Something probably knocked it forward when disassembling.
I did try that, but they won't bend back any further. When this motherboard was manufactured, I'm not sure if coolers with retention arms were even that common, so the designers of this board probably were not considering that people would be using coolers with retention arms. Either way, annoying design, but it worked out in the end.
I remember back in 96 I went to a local computer store and they had a brand new p75 on display running Duke Nukem 3D in all its glory. I had a 486dx2 back then (which, no joke, had the exact same case you're using in this video only with a minor difference in the LED display thing) and that p75 was SO much faster than my pc I couldn't believe that it was running only 9 Mhz faster than my old 486.
I have a SiS 5511 which is a later socket 7 chipset that is like yours, but mine's a MSI MS-5124 with a AMI BIOS, and I have a non goldcap pentium 75 on that.
Amazing build! Great video and sound for a DOS PC! That ET4000 PCI is one of the best DOS video cards, and tend to go for silly amounts on ebay so hold on to it :) I'd definitely put a CD-Rom in there too though, plenty of CD-ROM multimedia titles from that age.
Thank you! Yeah anything Tseng tends to go for a bit, I'll definitely be holding onto it. Believe it or not, I completely forgot to install a CD Drive. I was too focused on getting the computer working, which took about 6hrs! But yeah I may add a SCSI one soon.

Great video. Very in depth. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before!
Great video as always. Crazy build, ET4000 PCI, external IDE, socket 5, ISA scsi with cache, just awesome!
That controller is of Tekram brand, youcan see it written on it's bios chips.
Ahh, somehow I completely missed that! Thanks

That's really cool! Yeah the Pentium 75 was a big technological leap.

Got the same board from eBay today, is really nice but picky with memory indeed

Thank you!
Hey this cpu came out before MMX right?
Yep!
