PAL8045 super glue question.

[rjiemamam]

i just received my alpha today. i was hearing about super-gluing some part of the support so whenever i want to remove it i dont have to remove the entire board. the question is. which part do i super-glue? or do i even have to super-glue so i wont have to remove the entire MB to remove the HSF?

You want to superglue the plastic nuts to the back of the mobo.

ahh. thanks. what about the standoff?

[chawken]

The Alpha mounting is similar to the Swiftech 462 mounting. Super glue the nuts on the back of the board, that way you can remove the standoffs without worrying about taking out the board to reapply the standoffs. Makes life so much simpler.

Should make it more likely that it won't go anywhere like I've had happen with some friendly mounts like that too (only happened while I was tinkering, was a bloody pain to get out since my mobo is really quite difficult to get out. :D)

ahh. thanks guys. hehe. the problem is now that i cant find any superglue in my house. and i paid for AS3, but it came with AS2. err...
