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

[peebee]

That wont work without removing the rear bolts, I don't think.

But why?
I only remove the D-Tek put the Pro-Mount on the back, put it back on CPU again, take the other springs and tighten it with my knurled nuts again. Pic of a knurled nut if it is not the word you use: http://www.linitindia.com/images/466-L.jpg
We say Rändelmutter

That shouldn´t work?
It is the same thing, just another mounting plate with a Backplate.

If I tighten it with thread in the Backplate or the screw-head is pulling the backplate is not really a difference, is it?

I have a NexXos XP myself and just today took delivery of a FuZion + Pro Mount + Nozzle kit which will be replacing my XP. When I get home from work I'll take a look to see if the Pro Mount will fit the XP for you...

Excellent ! thanx...

peebee :

take a look at the pics from post #47.
You'll see that the 4 corners of the mounting plate are a little lower than the block itself.
So it might interfere with the curled nuts.

This might be resolved (must be confirmed by someone) by using a very flat washer between board and nut.

[peebee]

Ah no! I don´t take the nuts only, I put the springs over the promount and then I tighten the nuts from above

[Jupiler]

I think I know what you mean.

Like this?
Mounting stud > Scythe backplate > board > washer > hex nut (um ans board fest zu schrauben) > pro mount > washer > springs > washer > thumb nut (Rändelmutter).

You got it! That is the way I thought

Does the Pro mount kit is so much better than the Quick mount kit? I ask because i can get the quick mount next day delivery but for the pro mount i have to wait like one month

If there is some noticable difference i am willing to wait for the pro though.

Excellent ! thanx...

It's not gonna fit I'm afraid. The diagonal on the NexXxos XP's screws is 56mm wheras the FuZion is quite a bit larger at 68mm. Of course, if you're really set on using a FuZion Pro mount I suppose you could come up with some kind of adapter, but it would be quite tricky to make one that keeps the mount at the right height relative to the mobo so the base gets good contact with the CPU.

Yes, I measured the diagonale at 67.5mm and between 2 holes at 48mm.

I'd imagine the pro mount would be at least a couple ºC better than the quick mount as you can't use a back plate with the QM and your limited with the amount of pressure you can apply due to the push pins on the QM.

Why do the swap if you keep the stock springs and nuts from the other mount?
There is no improvement.

[peebee]

I will take the springs of the new kit. I think the improvement is the mounting closer to the board, which allows a better and tighter fit of the block. Also the big universal plate is removed and it is more space between my mosfet coolers and the Fuzion block. I wanted to place little sinks on the RIOs.

During several mounts of different water blocks I saw, that a mount closer to the board is more effective and easier to have it mounted more even on all 4 points/screws. That is better if you have an IHS which is not even. You can easily adjust the block to get the best position for all the 4 cores to be cooled.

Just a quick question as to the Pro mount of which I received today. Has anyone put a nylon washer at the contact points of the pro mount to the board, and is it needed?

I have a Storm on it now, and it has the nylon washers to stop the metal from touching the board. Just figured the same was needed for the Fuzion, or does it not touch the board when tightened>

Thanks

Not a thing, but the stock ring on the D-Tek can cover some of the coils around the CPU. I think the Pro mount will allow better air flow to all the chips around the CPU.

Mostly, I think it is for looks myself, but it may actually give you firmer contact between block and CPU?

Not sure though...

I agree about the old style plate covering the caps and coils. On my P5K3 I am using the d-Tek I had to have side ventilation to keep them cool.

That backing plate is nearly identical to the one that came on the Enzotech HSF I just got: same stamped black piece with 4 pressed in studs and very stout springs on limiting thumbscrews...looks like it would limit the bowing of the motherboard.

Thanx guys...

Is the Pro-Mount installed by fastening the screws untill the stopper meets the Board?

[Xilikon]

Yes, or rather stopping at the backplate raised bump on the 4 corners. It's a no-brainer installation.
