Here are pictures of my adapter kit for mounting the Hyper 212 EVO to a Chili board. Since I don't have any boards in hand yet, I made a simple cardboard model.

Notes:
* I recommend at least 3 full turns of the screws into the standoffs from each end for stability. If you assemble them as shown, the screws should meet right about in the middle of the standoff, about 4-5 threads (full turns) from each end.
* The number of washers inserted in the center of the X bracket affects the pressure on the chips/pads, though I'm not sure by how much. By my calculations, 2 or 3 washers should achieve the same pressure as the cooler would apply to a standard cpu with the stock hardware. The kit includes 4 washers for that location, so you can choose how many to use.
* The picture shows 4 pads, each 10x20mm, which you can cut in half to cover 8 chips. You can probably get away with not cutting them and covering 2 chips each if you position them very precisely.
Make sure you remove the plastic from both sides of the pads.* The 12mm long M+F standoffs I'm using for the board's feet, and their nuts, are the ones that come with the cooler and normally attach the backplate to the board.
I already sold all 17 parts kits I had for sale, but I still have thermal pads for 6 more boards, which I'll sell for $2 per board plus shipping.
Is anyone interested in these kits for batch 2? Let me know how many. I figure I can get more parts in as soon as Monday if there's enough interest (at least 25 kits to make it worthwhile).
