How did you remove the pins lol? I wasn't able to remove any with just my fingers so is there a special way or am I pathetic?

Lol, I think abit of both



Pull that black piece outwards and pull the push pin apart.

Wow! Nice to see you got your comparison done!

Results were as expected, bolt-thru is a much more efficient cooling system.

Great thread idea

Thanks, I will also be comparing the difference between having a blowhole and without one.

But I only have two hands...

I remember trying that because it's what seemed obvious but I would have one hand holding the black part, another one pulling one end of the pin and then I'm missing a hand to pull it apart,lol. Maybe I didn't try between my knees yet...

Yep i hate those Push Pins. I like my AMD Rigs Cooling as its alot easyer to setup. I have a Bolt Kit on my Xigmatek right now.

I have a regular 92mm vendetta and the thermalright kit, do you guys think I should file the standoffs down a little I took the pad off to get some more pressure but im thinking its still not enough now that I see this.

valtopps

i dont understand why they filed down the posts? and why did you take the sticky pad off?

Maybe the plastic pad (that's what you mean, right?) was taken off by accident. I didn't know i wasn't supposed to take mine off, but it's really not hard to position back on.

I don't know about the filing, by the way. I'm a bit curious too. I think maybe the holes on the Vendetta 2 where you would put the pins are a bit higher so it would make it easier to screw in? That's my guess.

By the way, anyone know if this will work without filing? I have the bolt thru kit ready for my vendetta 2, but am waiting on my new motherboard before I bother. Is it necessary?
