sorry to thread jack.... but b1gapl do u know how to mount a giant heatsink on a motherboard.... do i install it after mounting the mobo on the case or do it b4 i mount it like i would with a tiny cooler......

Like kobe24 said, mount the HSF before you install the motherboard, onto the motherboard tray. It's just much easier that way.

ok... i jsut hope its not heavy.... using the PC instead of lifting weights may make we as strong as an average 14 year old.........

If you had a lian li case, the motherboard tray slides out completly.. Thus you could easily do it any which way you wanted.

Lian Li ftw~!

The Tuniq, if that's what you're referring to, is like 1 1/2 lbs.

lol.... i expected it to be heavier........... it looks so big.............. any other coolers that are better at cooling with a good bang for the buck ratio....
