Will be interesting indeed.
Yes it will. Look forward to your results.
C64 what are your thoughts now you have had it a while?
Well once you got it on it's great it has same mounting system as the venomous x.
So same quibbles really mainly getting anti vibration strips to stick (going to stick to fan with superglue) the fan clips are virtually impossible to fit in with the board in the case.
Mounting without too much heatsink movement is tricky too and that can mess up the paste spread but that could be said of a lot of cooler I guess.It's certainly a lot easier and better than the tuniq tower it replaced.
All in all it's great cant complain it's built to do the job with no fuss or frills.
The ty-14 fans are fantastic although there isn't any corners like on a normal fan where you can fit the triangular shaped rubber adhesive pads in the corners so you have to use the included strips but alas they don't hold need superglue really.
And the included ty-14 is a bluey shade of grey and the ones you buy are a more beigey shade of grey I expected the fan I bought to be the exact same colour.

Yes I have always done it that way with previous coolers too.
makes me laugh when people make a big deal out of motherboard tray cpu cut outs when it's 100x easier to fit on the board outside the case.
Cant be bothered to do it until tomorrow takes me about 45 mins per change paste remount etc in an ft01.

Not as tricky as a tuniq tower depends what you compare it to.
It uses the same mounting system as the venomous X.
It's not tricky at all when you mount the fans on the board outside the case.
It's tricky if you want to get fans on with board in the case or adjust the pressure.
