Great Ill just wait until the first review of Bill
THNX
My blocks just got delivered to my office, as did the P6T motherboard... and I'm home sick.Maybe I can bribe one of my coworkers to bring them here during lunch.
Edit: Gah! even my custom Mountain Mods UFO front got delivered!

Come on Coworkers HELP Scott out here:P
Got mine"Just one more order I'm waiting on" and I can put my rig together
Initial impressions out of the box... Industrial... bling guys may want to bust out their buffers if they pick up a set of these
I was kinda expecting CNC mounting back plates... but hey what was sent will more than suffice
BIG THANKS to John at Jab-Tech for getting them to me when I asked. PERFECT transaction!
Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase... I have no doubt they will do what they were designed to do. Well designed product.

Nice shots Bill. My blocks are still sitting in the box on my desk at work, where they'll probably remain over the weekend.
It looks to me like we could benefit from some fitting spacers to keep the threads from going down too far into the nb/sb block. I actually bought some about a month ago without really having a use for them at the time... now I can put 'em to use!
Did you have any trouble getting the stock cooler/heatpipe kludge off the board?
Best looking full-cover blocks I've seen![]()

Scott, stock junk comes right off... very minor tape adhesion.
Warrior, I have NO doubt this product will get the job done...
I will admit I am a NEWB at this... here I was thinking after I pulled the stock cooler stuff off... "Hey, what about the DDR3 Mosfets? They are SO close." Granted being a newbiwe and a rookie I have not read through the thread that have discussed this product through its inception. SO, to read the instructions and set the blocks on the board for a dry run... some Pro must have already been thinking about those MOSFET's.![]()

I just got home from out of the country so I am now able to take a look at mine. They came with 4 o-rings in a bag with the screws needed to install it, I am assuming that I am supposed to install those in the block before installing it. I am taking the blocks apart regardless for cleaning of the threads but I want to make sure that I put those o-rings on correctly in the event that there are none in the blocks.

How thick are the backplates??
And is the mounting process easy?
Gr Yil
Pic of my MB with all the blocks installed. The MOSFET block was a PAIN. Because it has 2 seperate copper blocks that share one common cooling block it took me, I swear, 2 hours to get that thing to align where all the screws go in... including mounting plate screws. For me the top block had to come off and loosen the 2 hidden screws. Get the back plate screws started with everything topside loose. Then put the top block screws back in (just a few threads) without top block. This will help keep everything top side aligned then snug the backplate bolts. Go back top side, resnug those 2 hidden screws... don't overtighten and damage o-rings, and reattach top block and tighten it down. Go backside and make sure everything is snug. There was NO margin for fitment error with this block. Oh well... happy its on. It better not leak. The NB/SB block was easy. I trimmed the leads on all of the devices where the NB/SB plate mounts just for good measure.
Just have patience with the MOSFET block and all will be good.
My MB does look badazz doesn't it?
Oh ya... had to buy a button head screw for the NB/SB block as this particular model of Swiftech fittings interfers with it. With the button head screw I was still able to compress the o-ring. I'll keep an eye on it during leaktest. If it fails I'll get the thinner diameter style 1/2" adaptors...

The mosfet setup look's very fine. It's better then 2 blocks i think.
