Um, I had the same problem with my WW and Abit IC7 Max3. With the micro nuts on, there was no way in hell the cpu was going to make contact with the block, just a quick side look will reveal that. I did not use the micro nuts at all and just screwed the rods from under the adapter plate up, they screw in pretty tight, and hasn't come lose on me yet, I have done alot of re-mounts too. The directions do say to use them, but IMO are not accurate, there are a couple of flaws with the given P4 adapter instruction sheet.
