Maximus IV + TR Venomous X = Issues

[Silver Bullet]

Hey all,

For anyone putting together a Maximus IV and Venomous X; if you want your heatsink position vertically (air towards back of case, and facing the ram), you're going to need to grind off about 2-3mm of the mounting bracket (that goes across the square and holds down the heatsink) on the side with the VRM cooling.

For my board anyway it was too close and I couldn't screw down the bracket without pushing down on the heatsink. A couple seconds on the grinder (didn't take long at all) and it was good.

Just a little warning

On a side note also, if you buy a nice Gentle Typhoon you're also going to need to either grind out the mounting holes or mount the fan with zip-ties or elastic bands ...
