Heatsink Issues with Asus P8P67 Deluxe

[bankster55]

I have the deluxe mobo and looked around and found the thermalright 1156 bolt thru kit is their answer
$10 + shipping from frozen CPU
1155 and 1156 same bolt hole pattern
Just got them today (ordered 4 kits)

Fits great both ways
zero ram probs if you orient fan towards top
Fan pointed towards rear may have to remove fan to get closest blck slot access - only because some genius at ASUS went to single lock ram mechanism - it is a bitch to get the ram in
But tall RAM sinks no prob

So that now gives you TRUE, Venomous, IFX 14 Cogage type TR options. Doesnt say HR-02 but looks O.K.
Wanted to try new archon, but not sure backplate clears rivets - has two holes symmetric, no hole for third rivet

Edit: just noticed both the 120 and 140 fan noctua towers work
The plate itself only goes on one way to clear 3 rivets, but heatsink can orient either way
I like those plastic standoffs to raise over components

Just wanted to say that I purchased an Enzotech SCW-Rev. A and the Asus P8-P67 Pro from Newegg. The backplate does not line up wit the hole pattern on the motherboard. If one screw is lined up the other 3 are off by just enough that short of bending them, or re drilling the plate they will not go up.

They offer a 1156 retention kit but per the description on Newegg "It has the same 4 mounting points as the Intel socket 775 style, thereby providing better contact with the CPU and cooler."

If that is true then the backplate that came with the SCW-Rev. A should have worked.

I plan on calling Enzotech tomorrow. Might have to return this block and eat the restock fee.

Anyone here have a p8p67 and a scythe mugen 2? How's the clearance for the ram slots. Didn't think about it and bought

now I'm worried about clearance with the ram's heatsink fins

You'll have issues just like i did with my corsair vengeance ram, however you can populate the last two slots but you'll be running in single channel mode.

The fan is raised around half an inch in these pics, thought this would work but i couldn't close the side of the case.
