EDIT: V2 uploaded. improved airflow.

I need to improve the VRM cooling in order to put a 20 core Xeon (E5-2673-V4), I'm already using a 16 core Xeon (E5-2683-V4) in this board without any cooling and the vrm cooler was very hot.

My board is a Qiyida x99 ED4, but other boards has the same VRM cooler, this mods has compatibility with.

• Qiyida X99 ED4
• Kllsre X99 V201
• Machinist X99 PR9
• Atermiter X99H
• Wovibo X99H

You can check on youtube, these boards achieve 70ºC-80ºC of heatsink temperature with CPU's with 120-135W tdp stock with little/no airflow.

This print you can fit both orientations, use the best can fit you in your combination with your heatsink/case.

BOM

• 4x M3x12mm screws (you can use M3x14mm) (in photos used M3x12mm)
• 4x M3x18mm screws (you can use M3x20mm instead, used this in photos)
• 2x M3x25mm screws (M3x30mm screws in photos)
• 2x M3x5 heat insert
• 8x M3 hex nuts
• 2x 40mm fans (used GSDTIME 7500rpm 24v that I use in my voron, with 12v input produces good airflow without to much noise)

Printing

• Avoid PLA, ABS/ASA recommended. I think PETG can withstand but definitely not recommended.
• 4 perimenters at least
• Print V2
