Default EDIT: Now with PICS, OCZ Vendetta 2 back plate
Will this backplate work with my OCZ Vendetta 2?

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Xigma...sbow-ACK-I7753

Cheers


Answer Below:
---------------------------------


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. Here are some pics.

As long as you remove the push pins from the vendetta, I don't see why not. That does come with spring loaded screws too.

This is another option:

with the vendettas you can substitute the the XIggy Xbow kit and get a full bolt through kit.

Can you explane better? The one I have listed from scan is the crossbow and does include bolt through screw I think.

Picked up at lunch. It has whole replacement mounting legs with the spring mounted screws. Looks a nice bit of kit!

If only my new CPU would arrive so I can have a play with it!!

Uhh... the I7753 is for 4 heatpipe HDT coolers

I think you're looking for the I7751

(There's a difference in screw sizes)

I just used the Thermalright bolt-thru kit on mine, works fine.
