It comes with two brackets that are held with a single screw to the bottom. They use a push pin mount by default that's about as rank as a sweet pickle left in the sun. 🙁

Can I leave my plate on the back of the mainboard (TRUE) and use the screws and springs from the TRUE as well or will it break something?

Looking at this pic, I don't think so. It appears that the fins over hang the pins which would make it tough to run the screws.
What is used for bolting the ninja? maybe that would work.
A bolt kit w/ backplate like I use for my waterblocks would work best. Knurled nuts on the topside, bolt coming from the bottom up.

I thought you could. Flip the brackets upside down and mount.

That's the way I've seen it done on the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283, and they're supposed to be identical.

Please post if you have a problem, cause my buddie is getting this set-up and I told him it would work! 😱

If it's an Intel CPU, I've used this on 2 Xigmateks's and will use it for mine next week;

That's the hardware I have (from the TRUE). Well I tried both with push pins and with through bolting and the results were similar. I will definitely be going back to my TRUE.

EDIT: "HDT" is a real PIA if you need to remove and replace the heatsink as proper removal of old TIM is much more of a chore than a faced contact area. Normally this is done quickly (we use an electric dog washer) but this needed six buffy tips and lots more solvent. If you're used to using q-tips you better think rag instead.

I didn't even bother using the push pins and ordered the TR 775 bolt-thru kit.:beer:

So the TR hardware does work to bolt thru.
What happened? Are your temps worse than the TRUE?

"electric dog washer"? what???

Yep, let's hear it.

Inquiring Old Hippies and WoodButchers wanna know. 😕

Temps somewhat north of (load values) of TRUE and core to core variances higher. Like I said switching TIM or just reseating is a PIA.

Dog washer is a rotary tool for cleaning engine valve trains and I use one to clean metal parts that are too large or inappropriate to drop in the ultrasonic scrubber.
