Have you got an MP-05 on an Ultra-D? Advice needed...

[AMDfreak]

I'm ready to install my new MP-05 waterblock on my DFI Ultra-D, but I want to make sure I don't do something stupid as this is my first water system. If you have done this matchup before, would you mind telling me in detail how you mounted the block?:confused:

I've done some searching here and at dfi-street, but haven't found anything detailed.

took the mounting bracket off completely , the backing has little shoulders on it that go thru the board so it automatically centers the bracket, i filed these down to flush with the board, then screwed in the 6-32 rods put a washer and a nut on and tightened the nut down to the board

if it will help ill watch this thread for a couple of hours

Pages 11, 12, and 13 have the information that you're looking for. Coincidentally, I used an Ultra-D for those photos :D

Great info! Why the filing though? This will be switched to a Conroe system in a few months, and this setup gets handed down to my wife but on air. I don't want to do anything that would prevent a traditional setup in the future.

Thanks for the tips! :toast:

Petra, you are a LIFE SAVER! That is exactly what I needed. Thanks!:toast:

because the "shoulders" came through the front side and tilted the rods this way, no shoulders the rods sit straight
