storm rev.2 mount on cpu (no ihs)

[bigKr33]

How do you mount a storm rev.2 on a naked opty 165? Any suggestions as how to do this would be most appreciated.

You don't have to use the black bracket anymore that's used for HS mounting (cause that will preven the storm from making contact with the CPU core since it's lower now). Instead, just put the white things on top of the silver storm mount instead of underneath them, and then just follow the same directions that came with it (so still use everything else, including the springs) and tighten both sides equally and not to much because there's nothing protecting the core from being cracked anymore.

If you still want to have the black bracket there (or whatever color it is) just go ahead and shave off the legs on it.

I just mounted it. What i did was, I followed the instructions that came with the block, but instead i didn't use the HS bracket supplied with the board, and i didn't use those plastic washers. It seems to work fine, but its hard to tell if its mounted level or not.
