    the Rampage Formula X48 PCB has 4 holes in it from the stock cooler on this chipset & Asus uses SCREWS not push pins to attach the stock cooler to the back plate , my mod will allow that you can use all FOUR holes in the PCB & Get the block on Squarely with the X48 chipset & tighten them all down with out bending the PCB, useing 3 mm black scew set with barrel nuts & springs to fine tune the pressure ALL from the top of the MoBo

    i did all this as I do not like the Idea of the 2 holes chipset blocks they seem to rock back & forth with tubing attd & the fact that the 2 holers have slider slots PLUS that don't fit the chipset squarely

    lining the holes up to be drilled is very simple (if u want the thin plexi top as all u do is use the back plack that is stock on the MoBo) , center & Bingo perfect fit... drill an under sized hole in the back plate to remove the collars , & the screws self thread up from the back of the MoBo(no more holding the under knobs while tightening the nuts on top . IF your DFI has a back plate u can do this yer self

    I'm modding afew up , of my Brass hold-down plate That will be rounded egded & cornered, & buffed to a mirror finish with X48 ingraved into the top & a small logo of mine

    Just order the DD brass option Intel MPC-975X block with the brass option It's only 8.00 bucks more & u get the thin plexi hold down (one in my hand as i speak) & yer go to go !
