So the way RRR has it is right then? (sorry it's late and i've drank far too much :) )Quote:

Yes, follow the pictures that R3 posted. When the lever is locked down this should be inline with the barb orientation.:up:Quote:

Anyhow, these pics explain it all best:
THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY ON A QUAD CORE

You confirmed what i thought, thanks! You guys rock :up:
Wow, I thought I had my block oriented correctly. I changed it to the correct position based on RRR pics and got a 3-5 degree drop in temps. That was with me not even redoing my AS5, which I need to go ahead and do. This should be a sticky. Now the question is whether to lap my QX9650.............

I Even destroyed 1.
Minus the creators, and probably even them now, i think no one has more on hand hours on the supreme then i do.
It wasnt til reciently that people started listening to me because everyone had fusion envy while i moved on to better things. :rofl:
Another note, if you guys are gona make custom accelerators, you need to make sure the plate is = thickness to the stock. The reason why i say that is i snaped my custom plate in half trying to pry it off the block. If you taken off the block you'll understand what i mean about prying.
Oh wow... so for a dual core it's vertical? Will the supreme even fit on most mobo's vertically?
It's not that I don't think I will benefit from lapping mind you, it's just taking a $600+ processor to a piece of sandpaper that bothers me. In the end I will need to do it since I must have a really bad IHS. I am getting a 15c gap between my highest and lowest temps on my cores. I have remounted it a couple of times and still get the same or near same results, so I came to the conclusion my IHS was warped. Hopefully lapping it will fix it. Of course the other option is to see if Intel will replace it, doubt it since it is an OEM version. Anyway, again, thanks for the clarification on the orientation, thought I had it right based on the instructions included, but obviously I was wrong. :D

FYI,
I tried the right side inlet vs left side outlet and got worse temps again. For whatever reason mine is working best left side in, right side outlet. Why there is even a difference I don't understand. It might have something to do with the accelerator plates not being lapped flush and being slightly tilted. I was tempted to lap my nozzle plate, but I'm not doing anything until I get the "As Shipped" testing done.
I was suprised about the orientation differences as well, mine was really poor when the wrong way...about 4 degrees or so average core and the highest core was almost 7C worse. Differential between cores was also huge when wrong.
Pics, pics my good man! ;)Quote:

Blah im gonna have to flip it again, and see if that does anything.
Try just flipping the nozzle plate and see what that does.Quote:

Lapping the plate might take care of the difference is what I'm speculating..:shrug:
martin when you test my cuplex can you also rotate it 90 degree's and see if it makes any difference.
Will do...I'll probably be putting that one up soon..:up:Quote:

Need to pop the block off one more time so I will grab some then :up:
I hope you don't mean you lapping the block, wouldn't that take the bow out of it?
Utnorris
nah I mean the accelerator plate. I was dull and full of crap from laser cutting, so I lapped it to get rid of the slag and make it purdy :)Quote:

Has there been any news of a different accelarator plate from Eddy?
Any chance we could get this sticky? For an easy find?
Thanks guys
Man this is confusing! I understand that the block should be mounted horizontal like in R3's pick. But is the supreme logo or the EK logo supposed to be upwards / downwards? or is it the accelerator / top that is supposed to sit in a certain way?Quote:
