For less than the ridiculous $100 that every online shop is asking for one?
I figured this would be the place to ask.
I have an A64 Mach II mounting kit, so I have the screws, metal bracket and heater, I just need a backplate and socket-surrounding component I can hook the bracket/head to.
I'm going to be hooking my Mach to an Asus P5W DH very soon, and time is of the essence. Who can help me?
Please send PM's for offers, general suggestions/ideas can go in the thread.
Thanks!

can you give me a thickness of LGA socket with cpu ?
Chilly1 enclosure may work with some modification to the insulation. under-the-ice.com sells them for $50
Duniek: can you post the specs for the holes in your mount?
yes but he has mach evap with enclousure and he cant/dont want remove enclosure from evapQuote:

You are a lot of help.

you want the thickness of the socket with the cpu installed?
i'll try to be as accurate as i can...
I'd say pickup some 3/8" acrylic.
id say pick up some 1/4" or 3/8" lexan...Quote:

Im starting to think the acrylic route is the best idea.
I have enough neoprene to build a seal myself...and i'm no stranger to drilling holes in plastic, or modding in general.
I will hunt for the right pieces of plastic, if i find what i need, i'll post pics.
If i don't find what I need, i'll be measuring that cpu/socket height for Duniek soon...
i have great idea
two pieces screwed alu holddown for this plastic shield for mach mouting
what do you think guys?
explain in more detail?Quote:

in words its difficultQuote:

red markers are 775 mounting holes
blue are holes to screwed this two part each other
so how is that supposed to work?
does one go on the back of the MB and the other on top of the mach head?
or are they both on top of the mach head?
both on top of enclousureQuote:

cool, thanks man.
i have the backplate and mounting screws figured out, and i will use neoprene for insulation, i just need the top mounting piece now.
I'm in the same situation. Had my Mach II sitting in the garage for a couple of years due to not having the right mount. Where can I buy some neoprene insulation?

and here's the socket with neoprene layer 1 and the screws.

second layer looks too think
for
try to put 6mm second layer over first layer
mach evap take off from enclousure on about 5mm
so 6mm will be perfect ;)
maybe tommorow I will make pics on mounted mach evap on 775 with custom holddown
stay tuned ;)
Ouch thats pretty rough with those vregs and caps so close. good job though. Are you sealing between layers with grease? Probably not a necessity but I like to do it. Also helps hold it in place when putting the mounting head on it
yeah, i did all the neoprene fitting today,
i will cover everything (inside socket, outside area, between neoprene layers) in grease before the final mount to be sure.
Thanks for the 6mm neoprene tip, i realized after cutting the top piece that it was too thick, now i must shave it, i don't have anything thinner to use.
Tomorrow my Radeon 2900 Pro comes :D
I'm looking forward to seeing a prototype hold-down too ;)
Ahh same mobo as me, will be good to follow this!
done :D
for first: mach muff is bigger than 72mm(socket dimension of LGA 775)
so you must "mod" your enclousure like that

it can be made nicer but i dont have time and made it just few second by drill :D
prototype mounting is made from plexi 2mm but final version will be from 1,5mm stainless steel,

Great job on the insulation cutting, what is your technique for such clean lines?
cnc...Quote:

CNC, plus I presume a vacume table, and what is the cutter?
co2 laser (without vacum table) ;)Quote:

it seems that duniek's source for stainless parts is being an ass, so I'm bumping this back into discussion.
Can anyone in the US make a stainless steel or acrylic/lexan/etc. mounting bracket like duniek's proposed system, or something comparable?
I do have a backplate, screws, and insulation already.
PM detroitac. He may be able to help you.
I had thourght of doing this before but was worried about refrigerant leaking out. I will drill a hole like you but instead have the cable going out of the side having cut a notch in the plastic and putting extra sealstring in that area.Quote:

Bumpage. Its been more than a month now and I'm just wondering how things worked out. :D I was hoping Aphex_Tom_9 would give Duniek the review he asked for. Pics would be fantastic. :D
Hey everyone. It's been a while, I had to get a new GFX card, then take my final exams, then move back home, apply for jobs...you know, life stuff...
anyway,
The mounting system built for me by Duniek has been in place for over 2 months now, and it's been working great.
I can't measure the temperatures in windows, but in BIOS i'm seeing negative 30's.
Haven't had any noticeable issues with condensation or anything.
I'm very satisfied for the price :D
Thanks D!
