Do you pull your mobo when re-applying your HSF?

Hey all,

I know the mobo standoffs permit a lot of flex when pressing down on the mobo. For that reason, I applied my HSF before I installed the mobo. I think I used too much AS5 on my XP-90 and it's killing my temps, so I want to re-apply. Do I really need to worry about the flex? Do y'all pull your mobo to apply the HSF?

Thanks,
BoB
 
i take mine out, the tray at least. takes like 5 seconds cuz i just shove the wires into whatever dark crevesses that present themselves
 
I haven't pulled any mobo to put on an XP-90. I've done it 3 times so far. They all still work ;).
 
dont worry about mobos, after chopping up my 5900's pcb to make a keychain, most of the motherboards thickness is copper sheets :eek:
