Asus A8N-SLI and ThermalTake BigWater compatibility

[Chazman]

Hi guys,
Got a quick question, thinking of getting water cooling for my Asus A8N-SLI mobo with a 3500+ Athlon64, already got it oc'd to 2.53GhZ from 2.2 on fairly ordinary stock cooling fans. My main question is can i put a Thermaltake Big Water on it?? asking cos it looks like it needs holes to mount the core on the processer and not sure if the a8n-sli has it and if it does have them are they under the black heatsink holder. Any comments are apprechiated.
Thanks Chaz

you always have to remove the black mounting bracket for any kind of powerful aftermarket cooling

cool, so will that leave the nessecary holes to mount the cooler? sorry for being a bit stupid but i didnt put the processer in the mobo so dont know what it looks like underneath

[TheBaron]

correct
