The HSF itself should have little clearance issues....but mounting system might hit stuff like that though. I'll try to take pics tonight.

Backside cooler on the U-120eX is possible. Just have to use the IFX-14's backplate. However, I REALLLLLY think most of the 4C improvement is from the modded mount, not from the backside cooler. Taking the fan off of that raised temps .5C to 1C, if that. It never felt warm. I think the thermal pad might have something to do with it (thick, doesn't look like a good TIM).
