amrgb, I dont know why you would leave the retention braket on, but if you remove it, like I generally suggest to anyone who asks (maybe I should write a Storm mounting guide), the same method for IHS and non IHS works. I have a non IHS cpu I gave to a friend. If he still has it I will try the same mounting procedure just to clarify that there are no issues with the mounting method i showed.

novagamer, lol thanks.
