stupid question, will it work with any pump top? specifically thinking about the screw threads.

LOL...
in ver.3, i think koolance will take over my rig and plant a KL flag on the cpu.
Well its already cooled by a KL-360 with a single slit injector from eric's tests.
<-- first causality of this statement. :rofl:Quote:

I remember a thread on here not too long ago where people were looking for an original heatsink. Now that Koolance has one, then people complain. Go figure...:confused:
Warning: Epic Post ahead!
I'm guessing this was aimed at me, sooo, since mine finally showed up on Monday and I've finally got all the pics taken and post processing done, I'll go through unboxing and assembly for you guys.Quote:

Opening the box we are greeted by this sight.

Mmm, bag of goodies (I'll go though the contents a little later).

Side 1 of the main part of this kit (also explained later)

Instruction sheet (could really be a little better explaining some things)

Template for thermal pad

Well, how about that. . .it's later. :p: This is the entire contents of the bag of goodies and the main body/heat sink bag. I'm not certain on items #4 & #9 but I'm almost positive they may have something to do with mounting the unit when utilizing the tabs on the sides.

The only real concern I had when assembling this was one of the screws that hold the body pieces together came uncomfortably close to this coil. . .so, I ground it down with the Dremel. A little electricians tape (black) placed over the screw should work just as well. You may have noticed the glove, it's the best way to prevent getting finger prints on the plating.

Spacers in place, I just sort of dropped them in place after sliding the body over the pump motor. Lift the motor up only as far as you need to to slide the spacers in.

Bottom installed and bolted down. Note the notch Tim pointed out earlier in the topic is lined up with the wire connections.

Template cut
http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/5...spmp400115.jpg
Thermal pad, it's kind of thick and heavy and it's got a sticky side. Get your minds of of the gutter.
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3...spmp400116.jpg
Ready for cutting. I recommend holding the template in place with some thin 2 sided scotch tape, it'll make things a little easier.
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/8...spmp400117.jpg
All cut and ready to "remove the film".
http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/6...spmp400118.jpg
Film removed and place on the PCB with the pink side down. My reasoning behind this was the instructions actually show the pad going onto the heatsink itself and lead me to believe that they meant to stick it on the heat sink and the best way to line it up right was to do what I did.
http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/9...spmp400119.jpg
Heat sink installed and tightened down.

...and finally, with a fan attached.

Hope this helps somebody down the line.
Bit extreme for a pump /top lol... grats to koolance for using this design but i honestly dont like the heatsink and the top, looks kinda ugly.. hehe
So wait, this is a pump or a waterblock with a pump? I'm honestly confused now.
Nice pic's WL i might have to get me 3 of these now :up:
It's a heat sink kit for the DDC line of pumps. The top does not come with it.Quote:

Thank you.
Thanks for the pics Waterlogged.
Somehow I expect to see waterblocks for those kits in a while (possibly DIY'ed) :rofl: :eek:.
Watercooling LC pump? :rofl:
Good one. :D
Whaaaat :rolleyes:? It would only dump at max like 18W into the loop, which might give you a 0.1-0.2c increase, depending on the RPM and rad used.Quote:

We have a design for that, too. But there aren't any current plans to produce it.Quote:

I think 2 screws and vibration washers are included (instead of 4) because we assume only one side will be in contact with the chassis or mounting surface. There is also the option to mount using the bottom heat sink stand offs.

I think it is time to retire my EK dual DDC top and move to two of these + two tops directly connected :)
By the looks of it, these kits should fit with EK's dual DDC top. Koolance, can you perhaps confirm whether the kits work with dual tops?Quote:

Thanks all. This was kind of a nightmare trying to wrangle all the pics I took and the limited time I had to work on it.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions Tim. Might want to have someone add that to the instruction sheet somewhere.:up: That little package you sent me is next on my "To Do" list. ;)Quote:

I accidentally dropped it while taking pictures of Lind and i cracked the lense. :(
Installation was rather annoying but damn what a sexy beast :cool:

Yup. Koolance is good at making sexy products. Look of cross shaped CPU-360 is still my favourite. Pitty gtx480 block had gone too far down bling path.
Thanks Waterlogged and lowfat.
