DFI SLI Expert and TT Big Typhoon

[Carter]

Anyone got this combo?
Going to fit one up later on today. What's the situation with the backplate?
I understand the DFI has a plastic low profile backplate, what combination of bits do you need to fit it together? The metal H bracket if fitted underneath would touch the chips under the cpu.

Cheers.

I don't know about the specific fittings for the TT kit but what I do know is that you can use the backplate to secure waterblocks if you want, or like me just ditch it and use plastic spacers and 2 bolts or your specific water block fittings.

Thanks, ok, I've left the backplate on, threaded the 2 longer screws through from the rear, attached 2 spacers and secured with nuts. Seems OK, totally different to the NEO2 fitting.

Cheers.
