I have a crappy waterblock that no longer able to mount on the socket. The retention mechanism is very poor. Does anyone know where to get a Hold Down Device for the waterblock in USA? pleazz...

These are your options:

A) Fix the retention clip somehow
B) Create some kind of home made clamp
C) Switch Waterblocks
D) Contact swiftech

I've searched evrywhere and there's no other way to clamp that block to the mobo unless you make some kind of hold down with a piece of lexan or something and use the 4 holes that's on the mobo with 4 bolts.

actually.. all those options no good... well.. maybe..

I could possibly fix this retention clip.. but it's not the clip that's faulty. it's the hole on one of the sides of this block is faulty. Poor craftsmanship. It can be re-drilled for better fit however..

i don't want to switch waterblocks.. i want to make some use of this block...

i don't wanna contact swiftech coz they ain't got what i want..


but anyways, I know what the hold down device is and how it looks like. I'll try to post up a picture when i get home. Thanks for trying to help me. :)
