Just received my board yesterday with the Thermalright Coolers I orderd,
the IFX-14, HR-05 IFX, HR-05 SLI/IFX and 2 HR-09 S/U's.
I started out removing the all the heatsinks, I was scared to break someting
but it went easier then I thought. I just removed the plugs with a pincer and
after removing the screw from the NB it came off directly.
Has a lot to do with the fact that I haven't used the board, it seems the heat
from normal use will make it harder to remove it.
But I made some mistakes...
First of all the Mosfet coolers, the HR-09 were the wrong ones. They were to
big. But I was to lazy to send them back, order new ones and in the meantime
not use my board. So I decided to not use a clip on one side and use superglue
(yeah dumb and at own risk haha) but hey it worked.
The next problem came with the IFX-14 being SO BIG!! I bought the
HR-05 SLI/IFX so that my 9800GTX would have no problems staying in PCI-E 1.
But now I had to swap because I needed it on the SB instead of the NB.
Therefor I was forced to use the HR-05 IFX on the SB. Because of that my
9800GTX had to move to PCI-E 2. Because of the 9800GTX moving down and
the HR-05 SLI/IFX on the NB I didn't have any PCI slots anymore lol
So I can't use my Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty anymore and had to
use the FX pff
Pff then the 5 120mm Noctua's and 3 80mm Noctua's, they look weird. Like
flesh in a machine
All together it took me like 7 hours with the help of my girfriend who has small
hands to pllug and screw some thing my hands were to big for.

Gotta love the SB key-chain![]()
