What happens If I pre-drilled too many CPU for different Heat-Sinks? I think I'm running out of space on the back of the CPU Area so I'm sort of Scr*wed.
What should I do? I could a lot of help, Please!!!
Thanks.

Predrill what? I'm pretty sure that no heat sink requires you to drill holes on motherboard.
I am also pretty sure that almost all heatsinks and cooling solutions don't require you to attach them to the case itself.

They are usually attached to motherboard through pre-existing holes and use just a "backplate" to divide the pressure load so that the holes will not break.

If you drilled holes on motherboard, your motherboard is 99% likely broken.
If you drilled holes on the case, you 99% likely did that for no real benefit/harm.

My MB still works fine, the CPU is Fine so are the temp's.
Say I did drill a hole in the MB, the whole system would Die on the spot correct? I wouldn't do that.

Ok, Here's the deal, I've added and removed so many Heat-Sinks and I was worried that I might of drilled a small hole near the MB, obviously by mistake. I might be completely wrong and if so, tell me.

If MB works then I wouldn't worry about it.
