"Thermalright bolt tru kit" i think
TY barzi
Brilliant guide which has really developed with a lot of input from others
Love it
Def gonna mount this way given i can find the parts.

But someone here said it doesn't fit(the screws, too long) with the infinity. It will fit with a ninja.
BTW do you get with a Bolt Thru kit, a backplate(same as the retention bracket for s775 from thermalright?) + screws + springs?
I have the mounting hardware of a Swiftech storm block. Are those springs strong enough? And are the screws too long/too short/good?
TY for the links.
You could cut some off the screws couldn't you?
So what kit should you recommend?
I don't wanna build a homemade thing :p
you all menitioning for C2D what about AM2 ?????
please still use AM2?
It depends on what you want to accomplish.
If you only want to attach the HSF more securely than the push-pins, (with the same pressure), I would recommend the ThermalTake RM LGA775 backplate. It has 3mm threaded bosses. You’ll need to pickup some 3mm socket head machine screws, (10-15mm long), and some washers. If you can’t find some 2.5mm spacers to put between the Infinity clips and the motherboard, you could use the white part of the push-pins to maintain the distance.

If you’re trying to increase the pressure on the HSF, I wouldn’t recommend anything short of a custom aluminum angle bolt-down mod with the Danger Dan or the EK mounting kits. As far as I know, there is any off-the-shelf solution for this.
heard of it, can't buy it anywhere.
I changed backplate to this one:

Willl that one work? Is it metal?
Because the 4-hole bolt set is still out of stock, I got now this one

and 2 of these: specs

All have M3 holes if I'm correct. Is that going to be a problem?
It looks good to me. Just watch the torque on the clips so you don't crack one like lad did.

Unlucky you! Hope that doesn't happen to me. I am not good at metal cutting. Won't be too happy to make my own new clips.
I am going to install 2 of these 120mm Scythe fans (1200rpm) on the Infinity heatsink for a push-push installation.
Hope that isn't going to be too heavy...:confused:
I don't think is the weight or pressure so much as the twisting caused by the force on the tip of the clip, (1) causing a rotation of the thin "arms", (2).
If you tied the two clips on either end of the heatsink together with wire, (3), (be careful not to cause a short), you could probably reduce the risk of clip failure. (Of course, if there are capacitors in the way it's a non-starter).

What if I use the much stonger (or so it seems) S478 clips coming with the Scythe Infinity?
Because my backplate-set is in fact a S775 -> S478 converter:
http://www.ikbenstil.nl/smartImages/..._w222_h180.jpg
Would that be stronger or as strong as a scpring/screw mount??
edit: I just tried but it won't fit because the bar between the upper-things of the backplate is conflicting with the Infinity clips...
I am thinking about cutting the bars away, but I'm not sure it will remain strong enough.
edit 2: I have cut away some material to make the metal S478 clips of the Infinity fit. I broke one bar on one side, but glued it together.
I am going to try out if it works.
edit 3: It doesn't seem to fit perfectly, so I am going for the screw-mount
It is looking like this right now:
Attachment 60262
edit 4: I have lapped my E6600 today but my temp idle is 43 C (in bios after 20 minutes or so) that is worse than I excepted and am going to accept.
I pressure mounted it and lapped it, what did I do wrong? :confused:
edit 5: core temp is 33 C idle (*not* overclocked), but my xfx mb-n680-ish9 has stopped working all-of-a-sudden and I am _very_very_ unhappy about it.
Auch, sorry to hear that. How did it happen?
It looks like it is 1 of my memory dimm's that causes the motherboard not to post. Have to send it back. Hopefully it is resolved quickly by a new dimm, although it is a set of 2. deep link
So before then, no oc for me. Current idle temps: TCaseMax 85 C and 33-34 C cores. (Core Temp Beta 0.9.0.92)
I use the push-push set-up suggested in previous posts in this thread.
Anyone tried a Quad fan setup?
I finally found a backplate, but it's in the netherlands (no problem for me tough :) )
Just got my hands on probably the strongest backplate you can get without making your own ... it's the one that ships with the Asus Silent Square cooler ...
and *man* is it strong, I can't bend it at all with my hands.

My current modified infinity is not using a backplate and so I'll be redoing the mount soon with the inclusion of the above piece.
I wish there was a way to measure the pressure, cause I'm sure the MB will never bend using that backplate. Just don't want to punch a CPU sized hole in it ...
:)
s1rrah
where did u get it?
have u seen this before?

its from Asus Silent Knight..prettu strong ... with rubber :)
