Just wondering what Air coolers you have fitted and if there was any issues
with fitting etc.

Looking at buying one the following

Also I read on the Offical DS3 thread about the Tuniq backplate being sticky
and causing problems RMA'ing the board...is this the case ?

Never fitted anything bar stock coolers so the sticky backplate maybe is the
norm.


Cheers

I have the Tuniq on my BX2. Fits fine, oriented both ways, although in my Lian Li A10 the tray wouldn't slide in with it facing front to back, so I had to fix the motherboard onto the tray inside the case.

I used the sticky backplate, simply as it would have needed 2 people to install the thing otherwise. Can be tricky to remove I've heard, but I don't have any intention of removing mine.

You can easily change the fan on the Tuniq also, which is great if you want something more quiet. Swapped mine for a Scythe S-Flex and it's super quiet now but with the same, if not better temps.

Not used the Zalman but it's a decent cooler. Tuniq is better though.
