btw is spacers = standoffs right.

it was a to get that 8 to stay in place
cant imagine if we had to use another 4.

Yep, standoff == spacer. 8 are included, but really 10-12 should be to cover the SB as well, and potentially the are with a few small chips just below the VRM. I actually found that mounting them is very easy. I do it by placing the board partially off the table and using some heavy book on one corner of the board to make sure it does not fall or move once the block is in place. Spacers just get arranged where they need to be prior to placing the block (of course ) followed by carefully lowering the block onto the board and then screwing in the screws slowly from below. All the holes should be visible as the motherboard is mostly hanging off the table

By the way, I'm up to 4.5GHz LinX and 12h+ Prime95 stable at ~1.39V load on the E759 atm I can actually do ~4.6GHz stable, but past 215MHz BCLK I cannot resume from S3 so I do not consider that to be 100% stable. Uncore is at ~4.1GHz with DRAM at ~1720MHz, 7-8-7-20-58-1T timings.
