Just one quick question about the TTBT VX: to install it on an LGA775 CPU, do you need to attach a retention bracket at the back of the motherboard or can it use the stock bracket? Reason I ask is that one may need to go on a Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6, which has a special heatspreader at the back of the motherboard making it incompatible with aftermarket coolers that need their own retention bracket.

Cheers,

BUMP....I actually found an asnwer to the question about the retention bracket but have one more :D

Can you attach the fan directly to the motherboard header so that it can be controlled by the BIOS/motherboard/speedfan, or can you ONLY control it via the controlled it comes with?

Hi there and thanks for the reply! I just wasn't sure because when I saw pictures of the VX version (not the older, regular Big Typhoon) it looked as if the fan cable split so that on the speed monitoring wire went to the motherboard and the control wires went to the controller it comes packaged with.
