Hello,
I'm building a rig for a friend, using the Mugen2 cooler and HAF932 full tower case. A couple questions for you:
The HAF932 has a hole on the motherboard tray which allows you to install a backplate without removing the motherboard. This actually doesn't work in the case of the Mugen2 since the backplate is HUGE. I had to remove the motherboard and install the backplate by flipping the motherboard over. One concern I have though is that the corner of the backplate comes in to contact with the motherboard tray. Most of the backplate is in the area cut out by the backplate hole, but some of it goes between the tray and the board. Should I trim the motherboard tray so it fully clears the backplate? (Here's a pic of the backplate from Newegg).
Also with the Mugen 2, it came with what looks like a film where the backplate comes in to contact with the back of the motherboard, should I remove this? I tried to see if it would peel off but I wasn't having any luck so I thought it may not. I referred to the directions and they don't say anything about removing it.
On a related note, the G.Skill PI memory I'm using uses tall heat spreaders. Using the Gigabyte UD4P motherboard and the Mugen cooler I'm having an issue of the top sides of the heat spreaders on the memory on Bank 1 coming in to contact with the Mugen 2 heatsink. Is this an issue? Should I trim the heatspreader on the memory to clear it?
Thanks!
