    So I read about the washer mod you can do to give more pressure on the bracket. But I have currently taken my TRUE out due to my ATCS 840 which is way to big to lay horizontal. I was thinking, if I put washers under the motherboard, on the bracket, to keep force on it so the TRUE doesn't snap my motherboard, would it work? I made a crappy diagram in paint to show what I mean.

    The red arrows indicate gravity.

    Can I just ask, why not just use a TRUE Black or standard TRUE? The cooling difference isn't that great between them, especially with a high speed fan. I would never be happy with that much weight hanging off a motherboard.

    If I had of known that when I originally bought it, I would of gotten a Black. But it's to late now, and due to the fact it was used for about a month, I wouldn't get all that much on it :(
