I have obtained the X99M for a nice and cheap Mobo for a 2011-v3 socket. The problem that I am receiving is that the Hyper 212 Evo doesn't sit right for the Motherboard. I use the Risers (I call them Extenders), which also happen to be adapters. However, when I use the risers, the adjustable X-Bracket sits too high up, and doesn't force the heat sink onto the chip properly (I can give it a nice 1/4" pull away from the chip.) The primary screws on the brackets are too small for the holes that the Risers can fit in. The last board my Evo saw was the GA-Z77-DS3H, which had a nice bend to the X Bracket. The only parts that I have is the under-mobo frame (for the boards that do not support the Evo defaultly), four nuts, four risers, the bracket, and the heat sink itself. I've got the Evo a while ago so I do not remember any other parts coming with the Evo.
 
Solution
A hyper 212evo is not a good cooler for the processors on X99. You should have gone with water cooling. at the very least get a high powered air coioler.
