Title: Aether II - Heatsink to Case mounting
Post by: inzeos on November 12, 2011,

What size hole should be drilled to mount the heatsink into contact w/ the case?  Is it intended to use the short stubby sheet metal screws to connect them?  May seem obvious; however, it is not in the manual yet.

The short stubby screws seemed too short... especially since the heat sink was frabricated with a thicker material than RJ spec'd.

So, I found another machine screw and a drill bit that was the size of the shank but smaller than the thread.  I drilled through the casing and the heat sink.  I only used one screw to fasten it together... but use more if you are inclined.

i used the short stubby ones.  it does say the size somewhere in there.  The short stubby ones just barley made it through the heatsink, but they made it.
