I was going to get the new Ultra 120 until I found this.
Question 3: | Can Thermalright Ultra-120 fit on an EVGA 680i motherboard?
|
| | The Ultra-120 together with its backplate can be installed on motherboard such as the ASUS Striker Extreme (680i) Edition without a problem but for other EVGA motherboards, Ultra-120 will not be able to be installed due to the micro SMD on the backside of the board and underneath the CPU socket. The backplate for the Ultra-120, if installed, will be pressed against those micro SMD, risking damage and/or causing a short circuit. We will be developing a solution soon to solve that problem.

I think I can still make it work if I buy 4 plastic or some other kind of washers and put them between the backplate and the
MOBO so it clears the SMD. Think that would work?
