Unfortunately got the last two answers too late.

Picked up the Xigmatek Crossbow ACK-I7753 Bracket yesterday lunch time.

It does not fit.. So I had to do some tinkering

It was quite simple actually.
1)The Spring pins are held on by a C shaped washer. All I did was force open the washer and the spring pin will drop off.
2) Then using the original push pin legs I twisted counter clockwise and pulled outwards to free the push pins from the legs. (This does not break the push pins ether).
3) Place the new spring pushpins over the OCZ vendetta legs and pushed the C washers closed with a pair of scissors (be careful).

It literally took me 5 min’s to swap them over and the crossbow lines up perfectly with the cooler. I have not fitted it yet but I’m sure the threads will be the right length.

Reason I bothered typing this out is in the UK you might have trouble getting hold of the right crossbow (especially from, scan, microdirect or overclockers) so just buy this one and swap them over as I did.

Hope this helps some one down the line.
