What is wrong with D-tek? How long will it take for them to create a mounting kit for Core i7?
yea, I'm waiting too.
Perhaps it's time to switch brands....
i got tired of waiting and just got the swiftech, looks good so far, to bad its d-teks loss i guess.
yeah they're moving slow. however, I rather they get it right the first time and not pull an EK. I'll go back to my dtek block after they finally release mounting kits for it. I got a GTZ at the moment.
Looking to pull the trigger on an i7 and I've been waiting for a solution from D-Tek. Wonder why they are so quiet as of late?
the economy.Quote:

I figured as much, but thats why I was hanging onto this block as opposed to just buying either a GTZ or a Supreme with a 1366 mount.

Dun Dun Dun! Skinnee has the skinny on something? ;)Quote:

BTW, you're one of the first people to make that reference. :up:
I gave up waiting and went Swiftech.
Skinnee, it must be past my bedtime. :peace:
I'm just hopeful that D-Tek will pull through. I'm still running a v1 Fusion block and don't see a reason to change it. The 1366 adapter plate may force my hand in the near future.
I'll send D-Tek an email to see if I can find out any information.
Maniakalny from PPC makes that :shocked:

From what i'm reading here they don't answer them back :shrug::eek:.Quote:

What's keep them...:shrug:
If I don't here from them in the next few weeks then it's a supreme for me!
It looks fine, but it appears to be missing any sort of tension springs. Plus I'd think you would want to verify it fits most (if not all) X58 boards on the market. Any idea's on what materials were used to make this bracket?Quote:

We've had about 2 or 3 of these threads that I've seen (might've been others), and all we've heard is that they were coming froma rep, but nothing since. Maybe they got caught up with other projects, but I can't think of anything more pressing than i7 mounting kits. I'm getting ready to place an order and had to go with the GTZ. I just can't keep waiting forever. My computer has been sitting benchtop style for weeks now. I gave them the benefit of the doubt becasue they said they were coming, but they never did.
Don't know what happened. :shrug:
copper is a poor choice for a bracket..Quote:

This post draw clear picture of D-tek's future, i mean c'mon if a normal guy can make bracket and ready to sell to every one in the forum, why they cannot do it.Quote:

I love my first version of D-tek block and my temperatures are excellent even with hand made bracket.
Frustration is building every day, i don;t want to switch but if thats what they want then so be it.
You are loosing customers :(
Can you add a poll to this thread to see how many ppl switched block as a result of not waiting to wait any longer for a d tek mount? It would be interesting to see how many more complete blocks got sold just cos there was no mount.
I swapped to a gtz from a v1 dtek so there's some extra business for swiftech.
Poll added. If you guys want to change the poll let me know.
I have not switched yet, however as soon as I find the Swiftech and the mounting bracket both in stock at one retailer I am switching. I am tired of waiting...:up:
yeh come on dtek its only a machined bracket pull your finger out i haven't even got a 1366 yest but knowing i could get a mounting bracket for my existing dtek would inspire my confidence in doing so
I voted switched, because I was going to buy the DTek, but had to switch.
In my case I'm buying new, and didn't already have a block so I'm not switching from something that was already bought, but instead, switching from what I was going to buy to the GTZ. I like the way the backplate is designed on the GTZ. It doesn't sit on the socket blackplate and actually supports the board. The mounting system on that GTZ is perfectly engineered.
bumping a very old topic but it's still not really clear to me whether there are S1156 mounting kits. I currently use a Fuzion v2 (S775) and upgrading to S1156 and hope to keep the block so I think I need a converter or mounting kit.
Afaik there are none from D-Tek. The forum user Duniek made alteranative mounting plates for the Fuzion, I don't know if he still does that. Coupled with a Thermalright backplate you should be good to go.
