Has anyone here been able to use an aftermarket cooling solution (i.e. not ICE) on an sx38p2-pro? I've found that the holes in the motherboard are quite non-standard in configuration (see this picture). If anyone can help I'd appreciate any suggestions. I can't even mount my cpu waterblock because of this and I don't want to have wasted over $300.00 on these parts.

here is a rather extreme example of what can be done with aftermarket heatsinks.

personally though I don't think it's worth it, the stock heatsink is pretty amazing. the fans themselves are easy to upgrade and definitely worth replacing with more efficient, quieter and/or more powerful fans.
for example, my 70mm->80mm CPU fan mod: http://www.sudhian.com/index.php?/forums/viewthread/100870/

WOW! That is pretty impressive. I don't care for the front mesh he used though. I realize he was prob going for raw speed at any cost, but it sure takes away from the looks with that mesh.
