i got the screws and other stuff, and im looking on the manual, and i didnt understand what should grab the long screw to the bottom (to the plate under the motherboard).

Thats really easy... Just use the back mounting bracket and put your apogee on the top of the processor.
Holes should match with the K8 moounting... just use the large screws (using the washers or without them) and screw them.

I cant really understand whats your problem. Coud you post a pic or something (in case you cant install it).

look at the pictures:

i got the block, another metal plate,
4 screws (not "coil" like in your pic') 4 little rings and 4 plastic "jack" (or something).


now, in the manual:

we see that the screws "grab" on some plate under the mobo,
i dont have this plate, so what the screws should be grab on??

and other question (not so important), what is this "another metal plate" ?


thanks alot!! :)

Another backplate gives you compatability with socket AM2.
And it looks like your WB package misses the screws - can`t see`em on the pic. Of course it`s not a problem to get`em in your local shop :)

So just use `em in this order :


bolt water block bolt

CPU

Motherboard

backplate

screw screw

And don`t forget to put something non-conductive between backplate and motherboard. I think something sufficient should be in the package.

edit: lol, i forget from the original dfi's black plate (i drop it under my bed when i install my bigwater).


thank you all for your help!!

Oh
totaly forgot that you might want to remove WB w/o having to remove mobo.
So the scheme is the same as mounting TTBT:


screw WB screw
CPU
screw screw
Motherboard
backplate
bolt bolt

So backplate should be screwet to mobo, then you just put WB on `em and tighting it to CPU with two other screws.

thank you all for your help!!

I wouldn`t use it if you have fully metal one that came with WB :)

i must remove my mobo, the bigwater connected without any backplate,
i forgot from the original (dfi's) plates, thats why i didnt understand the manual, now i get it and your scheme explain that to me,

thanks again! :P

yes, that is another good way.
but i think i'll stay with the swiftech recommendation with the nylon spacer, thats look like a safety additive, isnt?
