Nice work, pit bull - interesting choice with the thick spacers/cold plates. How are temperatures with those installed? That's a pretty thick piece of copper on there...

Also, for your mounting - it looks like you had to drill out the corners of the backplate a bit to make space for the screw stack - is this true, or did you use an alternate solution? Also, how is the spacing between the two screws for the danger den block? Did they align correctly to the 4870X2's mounting holes without any binding against the sides of the holes?

Yes I agree, the spacers are a little too thick but was all I had at the time, 4mm would be better. Temps are 25-31C. No I did not drill out the corners on the backplate, the bolts+plastic washers fitted exactly. I have not made any cuts or alterations to the top plate or backplate. The idea was that when I upgrade I will just replace all the original stuff that came with the card like nothing happened
The bolts were too thick to push through the holes, but wasn't a big deal as I just had to enlarge a little, just happened to have a small round hobby file to hand which made the job easy, was nothing new to me as I've done it a few times in the past with other cards and even to fit a nb block. I must admit the first time I did it I was very nervous fearing the worst.
