Fitting a Big Typhoon - Pre-Processor

[Slogan]

Hello,

Pretty simple question really - I got the majority of my rig yesterday (everything bar the processor and hard drives) - I was wondering if I could piece this together in preparation for the arrival of the three components?

I understand that the typhoon shouldn't go onto the motherboard - but can I mount the bracket on the motherboard and just put the aftercooler in place - or would it require me pulling the motherboard tray out to fit the cooler properly? (after I get my processor, obviously)

I want to start putting it together - but don't want to have to keep taking it in and out of the case as it's just too much hassle.

I could have found this out for myself (I know ) - but I don't want to be pulling stuff out of boxes and I was hoping someone already knew.

Cheers.

I would recommend waiting, the size of the BT means that getting in underneath it to fit the bolts is a pain so it's easier done with the MB completely out of the case in my opinion.

I think it's my excitement getting the better of me.
