XIGMATEK bolt-through kit + Intel Stock HSF = ???

[Jack Flash]

I planned on buying a high performance heatsink later on and using the Intel Stock HSF for now.

I was told to buy a bolt-through kit to make life easier when I wanted to upgrade and for best performance.

Is there a way to remove the Intel HSF's pushpins so i can use the screws for the bolt-through kit?

Look at the sticky

Food for thought.
The Xig BT kit comes with the screws attached to top brackets for the Xig heatsinks. Looks like the screws are held by C clips and can be taken off for install onto other heatsinks. Pics of the thermalright bolt through kit look to come with the screws already loose, more of an universal type. Read somewhere that the TR kit had better screws. Might be a better choice if you don't know which heatsink you are going to end up with.
As Zap said, check the sticky. I had a bad push pin on one heatsink and pulled one off of another HS, using the sticky as a guide.
