Problems mounting TR Ultra 120 Extreme on DFI SLI-DR Expert

[brinco218]

Hello ! I'v bought the new Ultra120 Extreme, all good until I wanted to mount it on my DFI Sli-DR Expert (skt939) when I run into some problems. I have bought it from their partener in Romania : www.pccoolers.ro , and thet provided me with this adaptor :

The thing is that I folowed all te pics, but I can't get that adaptor over the heapipes(it does not have enough room to rotate). What shoul I do ? Am I doing something wrong ? Is pointless to keep trying ?!

 

 

 

Thank you.

Is the bracket catching on the heatpipes? If it is then you might have to get the dremmel out and grind away the areas where it's catching.

the adaptor in S thwey gived me(used to rotate 90 degrades the coooler) it does not have room to go in the middel od the heatpipes. Is there such a huge difference between Extreme version and old Ultra 120 ?!

I made a custom set using the AM2 instalatio kit. I also put an Evercool VR-RF(not the recomandede re because can't find it in my country). I used the cooper heatsink to put on my Al mosfets radiators.

Drom in temp about 10 degrades from the Sharkoon CPU Red Shock and the stock DFI cooler !

Anyone else knows how can I rotate this cooler with 90 degrades ?

@brinco : do you have metal backplate to replace the default plastic backplate from expert ?

I have ordered it too, for my Ultra-D or my Expert.

and how about the retention kit? is it included ?
