ASUS RAMPAGE II GENE (Retail) : ROG. X58 m-ATX preview

[aln688]

Hey aln688, can you elaborate a little bit on how you mounted the Xigmatek Porter to the stock NB please? Is it as easy as just bolting it through the stock mounting holes?

Here we go, photographs showing the install of my Noctua U6. FYI I used medium strength (blue) thread locker, I noticed if an M3 screw is put in the holes in the stock heat-sink it wiggles. With this thread-locker, it secures it after curing and is still removable if I want. The compound is Noctua NT-H1, easy to apply, doesn't seperate or run and no curing time. I used hex M3 screws with a hand-bent hex small allen wrench to tighten it, as one of the screws is directly under the U6 and I couldn't tighten it if it were a phillips screw head.
