On the look out for my first phase unit =)

[almighty15]

Might be getting my hands on one in the next 3-4days as I've been water cooling for years now and have got bored of it and the next logical step after water is phase

It's not a brand new item but brought used, It was used to run and cool a 4.4Ghz Core 2 Quad Q6600.

I'm confident that I can install it with no issues.

The unit is going to kind of be used as a test unit, Just something for me to practice and mess around with then I'll buy a LD unit.

But one thing I'm unsure about is heat load, I own a Phenom 2 x6 1075T.

What kind of rating should I be looking at in terms of heat load capability for a Phase unit to handle an x6?

250 -300watts Probably closer to 250watts

Hey RunMC, Has anyone started developing mounting kits for LGA 2011 yet. Those should been poping out here Pretty soon. I don't See Dunkieth stuff anymore.

Hopefully it won't be much different from current socket and all it will be is a matter of drilling more hole in existing hold down plates.

I can provide them...

I read recently that LGA2011 will accept the same type of heat-sink mounting as LGA1366.

I don't think so dejanh. As Noctua are planning to give away free upgrade kits to current 1366 owners, it must be a fair assumption that the two mounts are different.
That said, as runmc has said, for phase it's probably just a case of drilling more holes in the hold down clamp.

Well, at least one place mentions the same thing that I said http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_2011. Either way, it should not be too much hassle to get this set up.

Mounting holes are complety different for LGA2011. Unless you remove the mounting assembly your mounting screws screw into the socket assembly.

Hum...that is interesting. I did actually see that before. They better not have threaded those mounting holes because that will make mounting aftermarket sinks a PITA, regardless of whether you are using air, water, phase, etc.

[newhit]

I can see that the actual mounting brackets have threaded screw holes but those screw hole, across bracket, dimensions are the same as 1366 (Yes/No??). Therefore, as long as the mounting bolt lengths are carefully measured, anybody with a 1366 cooler or SS bracket should be able to make it fit.........Yes???..........Anybody??
