Isn't your South bridge, or whATEVER that is going to not be cooled now?
I have the x58a-ud3r and the heatsinks there need airflow.
Next thought, the hsf should be high enough... My nh-u12 can be sideways and clean my ram... How big are your ram sinks.
Still think youre overreactig to the mobo cracking. Even my 680i held my Tuniq 120.
Paton, I never even considered the Northbridge/Southbridge chip. You are 100% correct. Now there is limited or no air flow there due to the tunnel. Thanks for helping me realize the tunnel is not a good idea. Now I must come up with a new idea. Thanks for saving my MOBO! The RAM modules are exactly 1/8th of an inch below the Hyper 212+. Right now I am thinking that turning the Hyper 212+ 90 degrees to the north might be the simplest solution. I never unplug my RAM anyway. I just hope the RAM will run reliably for the next 1-2 years. Otherwise, any time I must access the RAM, I will need to pull the CPU cooler...
Primarily, yes, but there will always be some heat from the GPU that doesn't get exhausted in the way you expect.
Ok, thanks again guys for helping me see things I never considered. My bad. I'll be removing the tunnel as soon as I can come up with a new idea.
