One note, the Thermalright bolt thru kit use to have adheasive, but the one I got in the mail yesterday for my new build does not, makes it a bit harder to mount the HS, but at least it won't become stuck on the back of my MB anymore.
That bad huh?
Did it leave a lot of residue stuck on the mobo after you got the plate off? We're thinkin on using a zalman plastic frame that i have to spare, if we cant get the thermaltake one back on (i.e. if its get sticky or whatnot). I dont suppose another backplate will change anything about the cooling really, as long as it keeps it in palce.
