Christ, just get a block that will work with a socket clip. Epoxing shit to mount blocks on a mobo is not wise. If you tighten the nut to tight you will rip away part of the PCB the bolt is epoxied to and all the traces in it killing your board. Tops of PCB's are NOT meant to handle the load it takes to properly mount a CPU block. That's why the manufactures go all the way through the board! But it's your board, if you **** it up you can get a board with holes. I guess the flashy red blinded all aspects of practicality eh?

MadDogMe hit it pretty good. check out www.overclockers.com forums.
