Here are instructions on how to fit a NH-D14 to push air over the rear I/O panel of an e758 mobo
NH-D14 Solution:
  1. Remove the VRM HS, two tiny screws on the back of the MB, careful not to tear the long thermal pad
  2. Optional: Remove DIMM 0 and 1 Dominator HS if you want to fit the 120mm fan perfectly. If Dom HS remains the 120mm fan will be raised by about 2cm.
  3. Install the NH D14, installation manual, with the 120mm fan over the RAM pushing air towards the I/O shield (Be sure to follow your Intel install manual)
  4. Tighten all the appropriate screws as per installation manual 
  5. Then drop the heatsink back on pressing firmly so the thermal pads stick to the chips 
  6. Flip the MB so it is perpendicular to your work surface, be sure to keep a slight hold, left hand, on the NH-D14 from the top of the MB 
  7. Screw in the top part of the HS first, not tOo much leave space to pivot the HS, pressing down on it with your left index finger to catch the screw
  8. Align the bottom half, by the NB HS, with the screw hole 
  9. Reaching over the HS with your left index finger press down on the middle of the HS to catch the screw (at this time i was still holding the NH-D14 with my left pinkY, ring and middle fingers as a precaution)
  10. Once you have both screws in, tighten them accordingly and you're all set
 The NH-D14 will be touching the HS but only at the tips of the heatpipes.

    thanks.... i think i need a clipboard manager lol

    well updated the log a bit, removed the HDD cage completely because I had to move the 200mm fan up because it was blocking the push pin holes for the front panel

    also my akasa fans came in today for the VEN-X, but I can't seem to take the blades off to paint them, they dont have a rubber stopper to access the axel, it's all sealed up except for this tiny 1x2mm hole that i can see the PCB

    Corsair dominators have become so expensive since last yr when they were just $150 for 6gb and now $220-$280 depending on CAS. SMH.

    i really lagged it posting pics for my final(?) setup
     
    i had to empty my room, take down shelves and TV mount. Re-texture, repaint and remount shelves and TV, which is to the right out of view of the macro room shot.
     
    I am also in the planning stages of building an ITX based router for my new cable network, 30MB/s down!!! im so giddy :D
