The "Maniac Mount" (well it's a -Scythe-!)

[lad]

In creating a backplate mount for my plastic-peg Scythe Infinity, I discovered that I also had interference with the cpu clamping hardware. The following pics illustrate the problem and my fix.

Pic 1: A - capacitor. B,C - clamping hardware interference points. I have already ground away the HS base in this pic. You can see what's left, just below the five heatsink pipes.

Pics 2, 3, 4 and 5 are additional views. In the last pic, you can also see that I reversed the position of the mounting screw. I have 'ventilated' the backside of my case, so I can un/bolt the HSF without taking the mobo out.
