New mounting hardware from D-tek for fuzion...

[003]

There is the quick mount:

And the pro mount:

Has anybody tried the pro mount and see how it compared temp wise to the stock mounting hardware?

Quick Mount uses push pins
Pro Mount

Pro mount looks really nice compared to the monster stock mount bracket.

[003]

But will it gain any performance over stock?

[Xilikon]

Doubtful it will gain any performance. You can always hardmount with the stock mounting set with a backplate taken from a Thermalright or Scythe set.

I'm also worried about the thickness of the mount and whenever if will break if too pressure is applied.

I've got a pro-mount sitting right here, just bought it. It seems pretty solid.

Well put it on and give us some temps momo!

[Darkatom]

Do you still need to use the spring limiters when using a back plate ?

you can use a coolermaster backplate too!

[dnottis]

LMAO, I bought a thermalright backplate, screwed the D-Tek screws through and just use the existing hardware. I have that backplate and those screws with the springs though as they are part of the thermalright back plate. Id just need the bracket!

[sanhacker]

Never use spring limiters. Always use a backplate. Just hard mount until you feel your pressure is excessive. Then crank another half turn. It's really a matter of touch and feel. You know when you are there.

In other words, you don't want it so hard you break/bend components, but you want it hard enough to feel real pain.

[silverphoenix]

The pro mounts only weak points seem to be the parts that are gonna be under the block already and reinforced by the block itself so it won't bend, the thin parts will want to bend upwards when the mount is bolted down so I see no problem there.

Finish that case momo!

(like I am one to talk)

Maybe I will get mine all finished (for now) this weekend while I watch the Seahawks CRUSH the Redskins.

(they can eek out the win, as long as they get it, but CRUSHING is preferred)

ok i just took off my backplate - using a screwdriver to tighten made me overtighten the freaking thing WAY too much, as in so much the computer wouldnt even post. i turned it on and it would turn right back off...

i was really impressed before actually testing out this new mounting system, but it has some serious flaws. the stock fuzion kit NEEDS to come with a backplate of some kind imho.

my conclusion - dtek dropped the ball here

Did you remove the limiter springs? I'm not sure how it could be over tightened...

[WoZZeR999]

I have the pro-mount, and I used the swiftec backplate (the same black one that every backplate seems to be) and I tightened it down as hard as it would go. I got my fuzion with the pro-mount so I don't know how much better it is than the stock plate, I just like the look of the pro-mount better.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I got the Pro-Mount. Going from the stock mounting using a ThermalRight backplate to this, temps might be about 1c higher, but are the most even across the cores that I've ever seen. 59-59-59-57.

[brinox]

i think i meant to say the pro mount bracket... sorry! i took off the pro mount system (and intricately putting the original steel mounting plate back on without draining my entire loop) and the mount seems to be 10x more solid and consistent.

the feedback from the stock mounting system is MUCH more conducive to know when things may be too tight, whereas the pro mount system definitely does not.

i think the main problem is the springs put a lot more pressure locally, at the corners (rather than on the entire block, where the original one does very well with that). if one single bolt/corner gets overtightened the system wont post because (my guess) the processor seating changes for the worse.

I ordered a pro mount from here...

Do you have to electrically isolate anything from this mount? I see the center of the bakplate has some foam, but what about at the four fasteners - any fiber washers needed?

[Talonman]

I just placed a PTS order for the D-Tek Fuzion Pro-Mount Hardware.

Let's get some pictures up, of how much room there is around the CPU block now.

[003]

I installed my loop just today with the pro mount, tightened it as far as it would go. Computer turned on and is working perfectly first try.

At idle, I am getting ~20C on both cores of my E6750 at 3.4GHz (340x8) with 1.51v and C1E and EIST disabled. Not using any nozzle, but I did seal the gap and I am using the liquid metal thermal paste.

Nice man!!
Whats load temps?

[Talonman]

Congratulations on your install.

I bet it looks allot more open around the CPU....

I'd love to see a picture.
