I don't know. That AMD version kinda resembles a dungbeetle.Quote:

Anyhow guys im gonna go out to the hardware store this weekend and give the kryos another run possibly.
That was me who sent you an e-mail ;)
You won't see that changes since it is only a correction of the spacing for the bolts. Nothing on the overall mounting system has been changed.

Can one choose difference colour on top of silver block ? if one want black top ?Quote:

+1 for full nickel! would have to get one to go alongside my hk full nickel :D that is pending good temp resuilts ;)Quote:

true. i need to order nickel base for mine as i ordered before they offered that.. im thinkin retirein hk 3.0 to alt rig and putting this block in new main:up:Quote:

looks sexy!!
Where have I heard this before?Quote:

dont think it should as my HK isnt HF and i love it :D :up:Quote:

HF or High Flow are common names so why should we care when others use it too...
No way, Rampage Flow sounds awesome :eek::rofl:. And yeah, it's your own choice to add HF. It's not like that word is copyrighted :rolleyes:.Quote:

Shoggy you guys are german.
Should of kept it in German.. Über Flow!
Ü <--- i like that letter :D
I like that idea but if the only difference in block design is the barb spacing, then I think the Über should be kept for a later block design/alteration :p:Quote:

No mods done...just used the included thicker o-ring (I don't think anyone else tested the thicker o-ring, was I the only one to get it?) and it edged out the Supreme HF + P1 in CPU temps. More restrictive though.
But less restrictive than the XT I presume?
I don't know. I haven't tested the Apogee XT on my new testbed yet.
I beleave that these block samples were not final production version, but ones that were sent to different testers?
(remembering sentence that mounting system will be fixed in final to fix incompatibilities with few motherboards and such ..)
Shoggy: what thickness O-ring final retail version of block includes then compared to these samples?
AFAIK, the block is final, but the packaging was getting tweaked and the mounting hardware was flawed in our samples. :shrug:
A bit OT but nothing compares to Swiftech regarding mounting mechanisms IMHO...
That wasn't a misspelling.Quote:

No, all testers have it and it is also a regular part that comes with the block.Quote:

Normally the default ring should be the best.
You missed my question :(Quote:

I might have to get me one of the silver HF's then :D
I'm sure it will look great :D Can you send me a PM once it is available?Quote:

Decided to put it on my gamer using the enclosed mounting hardware and the only way I could get the bottom screws to hold in all 4 barrel studs was by removing the socket backplate. Mounted just fine with the Kryos backplate then, but don't like the idea of a floating cpu under the water block since there is now no way to tighten down the top of the cpu holder.
Appears some of you have worked this out, so since I don't read sufficient German to get through the book - how the hell did you do it ???
GOD, isn't ANYTHING less restrictive than the Swiftech XT ??? I hooked it up to a 700 gph high pressure aquarium pump and it wouldn't flow worth a damn -Quote:

yeah, the proverbial "xunt" hair too short but they work great if you pull off the back plate, which to me ain't an options. They at least could give you some little screws to resecure the top part of the socket to keep the CPU and pins from moving :shakes:
Called Gary at Sidewinders and he's supposed to be finding out from Aqua Computers... haven't heard back yet
