Ok, I went ahead and grabbed a maze 3 block, and I just realized that I don't have any mounting holes for the block. To drill, or not to drill, that is the question.....

Anyone have a maze 3 and use some other mounting method besides the mounting holes? I'm afraid to drill some holes in my new mobo, and I wonder if there are "safe" areas around the sockets where no circuit traces are under the wafer board to drill the holes.

I'd just like to keep the risk of killing an expensive, and currently working mobo to a minimum if I can. I just can't tell if there might be something in between the wafer somewhere that you don't want to sever. I doubt it, but I'd like a second opinion before I drill through an expensive board or maybe a mounting alternative.

Anybody else have luck with drilling and also, anyone else have bad luck with it? lol

Thanks

Ice
