If I use a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 with an E5200 processor will the Thermalright bolt thru fit and work ok?
Looking at the pictures I cant quite see how it all fits together with that cooler.

The thermalrite bolt thru kit will work fine as they are practically identical however, the xigmatek bolt through kit is cheaper.
Word of warning, putting the rubber pits on the fan then fitting the fan are possibly the most annoying part of a build ;p thats not to say it isnt a great heatsink.
you basically push/stick on the X to the back of the mobo, and the pins are replaced on the heatsink and then it all lines up and threads neatly and easily.

beaten to it
Brackets are different and there's two different sizes of crossbow kits, again with different brackets.
The only xigmatek bolt thru seems to be this one. £5.28 and out of stock.
The thermalrite one is slightly cheaper at £4.11 and is in stock so so long as it fits ok I could use that one.
