    Hi guys,

    does someone have a guide mainboard-seperating from chassis?
    I plan to install the TM cpu heatsink in my KM1-G and want to avoid any potential faults.
    Is there a howTo around or at least any usefull hints?

    Thanks in advance,

    Gonzberg

    Remember the mount on the motherboard is different between the models so you would need to do that too.

    Yes that's the one, the mounting bracket as you noted is shorter.
