 BeQuiet just sucks at designing mounts... It took me 45+ mins to mount a dark rock tf in an ITX case

Like every single review I've ever seen for it mentions the install isn't pleasant. 

 

Changing thermal paste shouldn't affect anything no? Wasn't the hard part the whole backplate thing?

Well then, if that was the case my OC xeon would have melted a long time ago, but it didn't.

 

125 blk oc on a xeon? impressive. 

Regardless, large coolers are more about sound and heat balance IMHO, rather than just heat

I can't hear my cooler during the stress test. It was quiet.

Generally coolers are quiet when not under load...

It's the CPU that causes the cooler to go under load. But CPU never reach to that point, during stress test.

Easier access to mount. 

Access may be easier but there's also tubing and a radiator to contend with. 

I'd say that most AIOs are similar if not slightly more difficult to mount than coolers using Noctua or Cryorig mounting hardware.

I'm curious will I have the same problem with Asus maximum VIII Hero motherboard with this cooler? It does have the plastic shielding or w/e is call, similar to gaming 7. You are referring to that giant red/white with gigabyte g1 gaming logo right?

Really? I had a super easy time of it, to the point that I re-installed it many times to test different thermal paste applications.

When I installed my DRP3 in my other PC, all I did was just lay my pc down on it's side on top of 2 boxes so I could work on it like on cars underbody and tightened the screws that way. As long as everything is lined up when you do that it should just required a couple turns of the screw driver.
