Ey guys, as instructed in a previous question, I'll overclock my p6t deluxe v2/i7 920 combo to get the most out of it before upgrading in a couple of years.
I need a better air cooling system though.

I searched around and decided on Noctua NH-U12P fan, until I realised that the installation requires me to dismantle the pc, so I can install the base on the mobo's back. I haven't rly done that before so I'm hesitant, wouldn't want to not be able to put it all back together.

So, pls help me find a good cooling system that fits on my mobo but is also easy to install.

I know I could drop the case to a shop and have them do it for me but that's money thrown down the sink, can't afford it tbh.

I ended up getting Thermaltake SpinQ VT, very quiet with good performance.
There were a couple of better pushpin coolers but they were discontinued and couldn't find them anywhere, still my Q VT is pretty good and it looks fantastic lol.
Overclocked my HD7950 and i7 920 and I got 2k higher score in 3dmark. Guess I can skip an upgrade for a couple more years.
All is well, lock this pls.

In most cases these days, if you take off the side panel, you can see the back of the motherboard, it's there for these kind of situations. So you don't need to dismantle your PC if you can access the back of the motherboard through taking off the side panel. Let me know.

That's a good point alan.
I did as you said but unfortunately there's a metallic frame covering the back, the mobo is bolted into it.
What now?
