Proper mounting orientation GTZ on i7

[Splave]

Anyone know the proper mounting for the gtz for 1366, on the EXTREME I have it mounted 180 degrees turned so its upside down when the board is standing, it shows 2 different ways in the instructions so i wasnt sure. :confused:

I just mount it so the lettering on the block is right side up. The important thing is to make sure you have the tubing inlet/outlet correct.

so that would mean inlet on the bottom left side of the chip, is this a good location cores wise? Or does it not really matter

[jc99]

Well either way, the pins are centered on the block so the water flows over them one way or another. I'm not sure if having the flat/pinless inlet portion of the block over a core would really help all that much.

It's an interesting point, but not one that has brought up too much concern so far. If there's a difference it's probably negligible. Probably. :up:

Somebody prove me wrong. :rofl:

i called gabe directly by phone and asked about mounting on the 1366 i7-920 chip and he said to make sure the logo is perpendicular to the lockdown lever, which in my case makes it so the logo is displayed vertically vs horizontally.

I have mine upside down so that it is easier to route the tubing.

Yes

Trust him, he knows what he's doing, and he's getting very good temps. He folds 24/7 and that rig can get 9000 PPD easy with 10,000 peaks. It's very stable, and very powerful. He has it setup very well.
