Advice Needed Guys..
I bought two Corsair HG10 to fit onto MSI 290 Gaming Edition and MSI 290x Gaming Edition..
I ran into a problem, 290 fitted fine PCB is Reference, the 290x on the other hand isn't Reference somewhere along the line they released version 2 of there PCB.
Now I don't want to go and buy this G10 not knowing if it will fit my MSI custom PCB

Brings me to my other concern.. I bought the HG10 from Corsair because the better reviews on the VRMs etc I notice on the G10 the Memory and VRMs are not covered.. Can I reuse the thermal pads from the stock cooler from MSI?
Or should I also buy new thermal pads? If I was to buy new thermal pads are these easy to remove should I wish to ever sell on and reinstall the stock cooler?
Thanks guys!
