For cooling, check the following thread. It's exactly the same as for the Maximus SE X38 board so luckily we can use all that information:

You will be able to check in the first post on that thread (near the end of the post) more information about dismounting the original cooling.

There are 2 main parts on the original ROG cooling: mosfets part and N/B to S/B part.
You don't need to remove the mosfets coolers, it's only tied to the other part with a sticker: a simple plate knife used as a lever will remove that easily.
You can see on my motherboard picture above I kept the mosfets ROG coolers.

But the N/B and S/B coolers are soldered together...
In my case I used an old Asus S/B cooler from a P35 board.
A simple Enzotech will work too if you don't have old Asus ones.
Read the linked thread: lots of great info.
