XP-90C

I was going over the installation manual for the XP-90C and it says first to:

Remove stock RM by unscrew both Philip screws and drip
a couple drops of nail polish remover on the sides of RM to
unglue it from the motherboard, this way RM can be easily
removed without damage PCB and components.

Does this have to be done on all motherboards? It was my understanding that on most boards nowadays you don't need to do this. I have the Asus A8N nForce SLI board. Do I need to remove the stock RM for this board?

Anyone have the XP-90 or 120 can give advice please.

Thanks.

Posted in wrong spot...sorry guys.
 
My A8V Deluxe's RM came right off...no glue here. Take the screws out and jiggle it. If its solid yours is probably glued and I would follow the directions. If it comes right off then...well...your set.

Yes you do need to remove it! lol ...ah srry...guess he found out 😉
 
The standard XP-90 only weights anout 20g more than the stock heatsink. Do you have to replace the stock RM with it aswell?

Yea thats what I meant. I have to replace the stock RM, and attach the RM that came with the XP-90 in the box. Takes less than a minute to do as long as you don't need nail polish remover to remove the stock one. 🙂
