Can someone build me a Mach II S775 Mounting system?

[Aphex_Tom_9]

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?

[Aphex_Tom_9]

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...

[n00b 0f l337]

Same damn thing

[Aphex_Tom_9]

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...

[Duniek]

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?

[n00b 0f l337]

Bolt a new mount onto the mount, yep been done, if you can make some that look decent and not so rough sure why not.

[Duniek]

explain in more detail?

in words its difficult
bt I make a draw


red markers are 775 mounting holes

blue are holes to screwed this two part each other

[Aphex_Tom_9]

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 enclousure

I will make prototype from 2 or 3mm plexi to show it

if it will be "works" (looks) good I will make more of it from 1,5mm stainless steel

[Aphex_Tom_9]

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.

[Sync0r]

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?

picture time!
here's the socket area i'm dealing with (nasty component spacing)

here's the backplate with neoprene and mounting screws

here's the socket with layer 1 of neoprene insulation

here's the socket with layer 2 of neoprene insulation

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

[Duniek]

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
