How can I mod the pep66 to fit a socket A?

Hey guys,
I know it is a simple mod but I wanna know exactly what to do. I am using a YSTECH 60x60x25mm fan and a PEP66 alpha cooler on a MSIKT7PRO2a w/a tbird. How can I refit the shroud so I can put it up top because it won't fit the MOBO when positioned on the side. Thanks!

You will need to remove the fan and shroud from the heatsink. Now put the shroud on the heatsink with the fan opening facing up. As you do this you will notice that the heatsink clip is in the way. Mark with a marker where the clip lines up on the shroud and cut grooves with a Dremel Tool to allow the clip to move freely. Now mount your Shroud and secure it. Now screw down the fan on the top of the heatsink and Walla, you have a modded Pep66.
