X58 BloodRage Heatsink/Waterblock/Extreme Cooling Compatibility List

[saaya]

Hey Guys,

Heres a list of CPU Heatsink/Waterblock/Extreme Cooling solutions that are known to fit on BloodRage.
Since one of its unique features are the 775 mounting holes, there are two lists, one for 775 and one for 1366 Solutions

Note: 775 PushPin Heatsinks like the Intel Stock Heatsinks are NOT officially supported... you might be able to fit them but since the 1366 cpu socket is higher/thicker than the 775 cpu socket, the PushPins will either not mount safely and pop out again, or you will bend and possibly damage the pcb. On some Heatsinks the PushPins are longer and more flexible

High end Heatsinks and other Cooling solutions cost quite some money, and they are usually mounted with backplates, so the hight of the cpu socket doesnt matter for them. Thats why we added the 775 mounting holes so you guys wont have to spend extra money on a new and expensive 1366 Heatsink or a 1366 retention kit upgrade, you dont have the hassle to search for one and dont have to wait for it to arrive. Not to mention that there are great 775 Cooling Solutions out there that unfortunately dont have 1366 bracket upgrades available.

* This is not a native 1366 solution. There are newer versions with 1366 mounting hole support and older versions without. For BloodRage either version will fit and work fine, for other Boards you need the 1366 backplate so if you use several boards or can chose between either 775 or 1366 mounting solutions you should get the version with the 1366 backplate/mounting plate.

1 The Wire fanclip works best as it allows the fan to be elevated slightly and moved around a bit and as result even memory modules with large heatspreaders can be installed. Dont let the fan push the memory in slot1 back! Mount the fan elevated so it sits above the memory heatsink and doesnt push it from the side. The Fanbracket hits high memory heatsinks in the first memory slot and blocks them, if the memory has low or no heatsinks it will fit but once the fan is installed it will prevent the first memory stick from getting removed/exchanged.

If you have a heatsink that doesnt seem to fit please let us know and post some pictures if possible.
If you use a heatsink that is not on the list yet and it fits well, please let us know so we can add it to the list here!
Ill add more and more heatsinks here over time, please help me to make this list as complete as possible, thanks!
