Hello. I had an X58 EVGA classified motherboard that stopped working, so I mounted it on the wall. Recently I tried to test it and it functioned properly, though I removed the VRM heatsink a while back. Now I’m planning to install an NH-D15 and overclock the CPU. Any advice on replacing the heatsinks? I have some VRM heatsinks from another board but no suitable mounting points left. Thanks ahead!

Gather thermal adhesive tape or pads. Purchase copper or aluminum VRM heatsinks from eBay or similar retailers. They are often available at reasonable prices.
