Right first off, this might sound quite noobish :( , but i've only just "experienced" a possible problem with it. So here goes.
Back in May i got myself a Tuniq Tower 120 to cool my E6600. Just recently i've found an Enzotech Ultra-X ( 2nd handed from a reviewer ) for cheap, and in the Netherlands. Which was the cooler i wanted to get in the first place instead of the Tuniq.
Anyway i found that i had to remove the backplate, on the back of the socket area for the cooler attachment. Which was quite a pain, as it was pretty much "glued" on the back. I managed to remove it by heating it first, but now that whole sticking bit cannot be used anymore.
Now i'm wondering, how do hardware reviewers or you guys that pretty often change cooling cope with it? Do i actually have to make it stick to the mainboard?
Thanks.
