It all started around Thanksgiving '05. I just finished building a kickass computer system, but stayed with stock cooling. I was using a case with a window, and I spent a long time hiding all the wires the best I could. This task took some time to do, and little did I know I would pulling all my work apart... many, maNY, MANY times in the following months and repeating my hard work over and over.
Well, the task of removing and reinstalling CPU coolers and having to remove the the motherboard at the same time to use the supplied cooler brackets got old. The straw that broke the camel's back this time was the Titan Amanda. With some coolers, you can use the stock bracket that came with the motherboard, or even the bracket from another cooler, but that's not always the case. With the Amanda, the cooler is actually screwed into place from the back side of the motherboard. UGH!!!!! That means it's time to remove everything once again.
