I just purchased the Danger Den Kit and the EK. The springs on the EK kit are quite a bit thicker than the DD's

The 4mm pan head screws are a bit long, (45mm), for the Infinity, so I replaced them with 35mm ones. You could probably add spacers under the motherboard or just cut off 5-10mm's.

I used some nylon and steel washers on the back and steel washers under the springs to finish up. The 4mm nut was added as a jam nut.

When I saw this post, I think that I have to make this modification, but when I went to the hardware store he had not any springs, and I have to made this modifications:

I used rubber washeds instead of the springs, I use a lot of this (6x4) in order to have sufficient elasticity.

Here are the results:









I lapping my procesor too, and I take 5ºC less than before.

Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

I did this on my ninja with the danger den kit today. I realize I did not tighten enough what so ever. I need to get to that, that's most likely why I have high temps.

I just installed my infinity today in a hurry, didn't even have the correct stuff to mount it with modified fashion, so my temps are near stock, but slightly lower than stock.

I will remount the infinity once i am done with finals next week, just don't have time at the moment to do it.

Just wondering where i might be able to pick up a few of those springs from the first post, if a hardware store, which would be the best?

Also, the knurled knobs would make the mounting easier.

I went to lowes, but i didn't find such a great selection.

i appreciate any info you can give me.

thanks

If you’re in the Mid-Atlantic and have a Taylor’s DO-IT center in your location, they carry the Midwest Fastener line where you could get the knurled knobs as well as the screws/washers etc., (but not the springs).

However, I’d recommend Petra’s Tech Shop:

http://www.petrastechshop.com/wacoac.html (look never the bottom)

They have the Danger Den and the EK kits. I bought both and prefer the EK, (bigger springs). Both kit have everything you need. The prices are great and the shipping is amazing. I order both kits Monday, and received them Wednesday. The total for both kits, with shipping, was under $17. If you could find everything locally, you’d probable burn that much in gas.

I am actually on the west coast, and i have the screws and nuts, but it would be easier to do and have better mounting with the springs and the knurled knobs which are all i need.

I appreciate the info and the links. petra seems to be a little pricey since you can do the kit yourself for under $7, and petra charges around that for shipping alone.

Well, in fairness to Petra's, they stocking and selling complete kits for specific applications. I also think they'll ship First Class to the East Coast for $1.60. (They included a hand written note with my order reminding me of the fact.)

The EK kit, (currently sold-out), does have some nice 4mm screws and heavier springs. If you can find something similar at ACE, post the part numbers so other people can benefit. I checked out the local ACE in my area, but they didn't have any springs that were suitable. They can order them, but it's kind of a subject item, so a part number were help.

Hey guys, re knurled knobs.

I haven't tried this yet, but I thought about drilling and tapping some aluminium thumbscrews. Cut off the external thread first, obviously. Probably need a drill press and vice to ensure your pilot hole is sound. I am going to try this out next time I'm in the workshop.
