Actually, I cant. The + is the first pin to the left so I don't have a choice to move the blue in the middle to plug the adapter outside of the connector as you can see here

Yeah wasn't sure about that for heat, but if you say so. Then big old 2faces tape will be the winner again

Look who's here!
Tonight is THE night!
Now I have to decide if I go with the Thermal paste coming with the Shuriken (should be good) or the remaining tube I have
or some Artic Silver I would need to buy.
Can't wait to boot this baby!!

DeanM3 very nice!.... I love it....
where did you buy the HFX mini case?
What temps do you get?
Xexis....
Stock thermal paste from shuriken is good... that is what I am using.

Hey DeanM3.. noticed you had problems with the cooler, i'm facing a problem too with the Shuriken 2100/FM2A75M-ITX..
This stupid 330 25528d is straight under the cooler fixture
Do you guys think I can just bolt this over without change breaking something or heating this chip??

I bought the HFX mini case about 3 years ago to use with a Core 2 Duo / Geforce 9300M setup for XBMC. The built in heatsink cooler was pretty poor, so I swapped it out for an Antec LP cooler at the time. I bought it direct from the manufacturer.
It is quite expensive, and I wouldn't recommend seeking one out new. Two companies ( Streacom and Wasena ) seem to make the best mini-itx HTPC cases at the moment.

My Idle temps with the Frodo Beta running the Aeon Nox skin is about 40-42C. ( My fan is set to 1600RPM) During 1080p playback the temp
remains pretty consistent, rising just 2-3C. If I peg the CPU at 100% the fan will increase to 2800RPM or so can temps reach 58C. However that scenario does not happen based on my usage patterns ( MKV's at 720/1080p and some steaming).

Fortunately the Kozuti doesn't use a backplate, just 4 small bolts with a rubber washer. The issue I had was with the second ram slot heatspreader preventing the proper mounting of the kuzuti due to the heatpipe pressing against it. I removed the heatspreader and got everything mounted snugly.
There have been a few others using the Shuriken on this board, so I would check around to see if the backplate is an issue. I'd be more concerned with getting a proper flush mounting for the heatsink baseplate on the cpu rather than those small chips on the back. I doubt they are prone to overheating having been placed on the backside with almost no air flow.

Right. I tried it for about an hour and it is really marked in there when I remove it. Either I cut the foam where it touched or I just take a chance and let it like this..
You can clearly see, compared to one other bracket leg
