Hi All
I want to remove the retention module from my GA-K8N Ultra in order to use a water-cooling kit of the screw-through/backplate variety. Now, most S939 motherboards have two screws holding this on but I have some plastic stud type things and I can see no way to dismantle them . (Just to make sure I'm not talking rubbish by 'retention module' I mean the rectangular black plastic bracket around the CPU to which a stock cooler clips )
Can anyone with a similar motherboard (presume Giga-byte use these across the whole range ) give me any pointers how to take this off, preferably in a reasonably reversable way?
I would post pics of exactly what I mean but unfortunately that would mean taking my PC apart hence no internet access to check for replies...I think I would just take a Dremel to it before going through all that
