if you notice, XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler - Retail has push pins... can you cut those pins and replace with a bolt thru kit? as I have the bolt thru kit already, just wanted to replace the heatsink.

All you need to do, is remove the push pins from the parts that screw on to the base of the HSF. From there, you should be able to put your bolt thru kit on.

yeah hehe my bolt thru kit only comes with backplate and screws as i remember... with ac7 pro, I simply removed the push pins, placed the backplate and screwed directly.
EDIT: yeah only got the backplate and spring/screws...

If you get the Xigmatek, you will need to attach the mounting tabs, which screw onto the base. From that point, it would just be a matter of pulling out the push pins, and using the bolt thru kit.
