Obstacle:
1. The original heatsink blocking from mosfet to northbridge.
2. Mounting is not available, doing some mod is the way.
3. Refer below picture.



Original mobo. Sorry, the picture taken from internet.




Fit Noiseblocker Fan on Thermalright 120 is nice, but the things is, when mounted to motherboard, it position upwards and it cant be seen when installed inside the case.



After done fit both heatsink.



This is the view of TX3 mounting on Asus P5Q Pro.



Everything inside the case now. Perfect!



Hardwares are properly managed and , last thing to do is, test the machine.



Here we go, it working and this project finish here.


Conclusion:

Objective achieved! The mounting perfectly installed to mobo. Temperature reading will post after this.

Thanks for your time. A little noob info/mod by me...

i love the way the 3 cooling stuff setup look!!
interested to do the same to my soon to come new desktop

um if i may ask~
is cutting the stock copper cooling heatsink advisable? (sorry if the name for the item is wrong)
were there any holes or is there any additional holes required for the Thermalright HR-05 and Cooler Master TX3 brackets?

nice bro. btw how u mount the tx3. been trying to mount it too

cutting the stock cooler really depends on your board condition.

no need drill additional holes. Just find those screws and bracket. FYI, i got so many coolers lying around inside my cabinet. Gallery purposes.

Haha. Refer to my reply on jinster
