Yes, although I had to remove the pcb cover and mount it 'upside-down' as it were. Giving me good temps and idling in the teens so it's a good mounting (fnar)

So the vrm fan is pointing towards the GPU? what clearance issue is there, mounted the correct way.

Can yout get a replacement PCB cover. Sure I read about it somewhere.

Just couldn't get it to quite sit right, but the vrm heatsinks are *big*.

I'm considering the freezer 2 on my Strix A D4. Techpowerup seem to have it mounted alright, even if near to that daft plastic though.

The heatsink on the hero 690 atr mad the mobo is really heavy

RavenXXX2 · 30 Nov 2021 at 12:01

The strix A is real heavy, might be more expensive than other brands but it's quality stuff.

Ok thanks for that, I'll try it again when the pcb cover shows up.

Yeah, crazy the number of layers on modern motherboards. Both my Maximus Hero XIII and Z690 have incredibly thick PCB's, compared to prior generations. Does explain some of the extra cost.

Is the cover from Asus?

JediFragger · 30 Nov 2021 at 12:33

For those who got their LGA 1700 cooler bracket kit from Arctic Cooling for their AIO what are those four rubber type rings for.?
Is there a video on how to fit it.?

Thanks

Ping @mrk as I think you have that cooler

That shows where the rubber rings go.

@MikeS3000 thanks, appreciate the link.

Don't suppose anybody has Dark Rock Pro 4 with any of the MSI Z690 boards do they, looking at getting the Tomahawk.

Do these come with teh brackets yet or do you need to buy/contact them separately?
