Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Mosfet/NB/SB Blocks

[Bob101]

Hey guys,

Thanks for the responses. The news isn't too great: Aqua Computer and EK have now responded to my e-mails...

Aqua Computer -

we have no experience with this board. I recommend to use the following PDF file as a reference:

If none of these mountings will with we won't be able to help you with this board since we also have no plans to produce any blocks for it.

EK -

I am sorry, but we cannot offer you any water blcok for your motherboard.
Currently no plans to make water blocks.
We might make it soon after new year, but cannot prommise you for sure.

I cannot say who might make the block for the boards.

I am still waiting for some anti-static equipment; after it arrives I will check whether any of the aqua-computer components fit. I will also post the measurements up here and check the measurements against all the other components I can find... with a bit of luck gigabyte were just lazy enough for an old block to fit.

Alternatively, surely a document exists at Gigabyte HQ (or somewhere on the internet) of the exact layout of this board with measurements. Does anybody have this document or a link to it? I'd much prefer working from the exact specification used by Gigabyte?

ShoNuff: I thought the policy on this forum is not to PM people without their personal permission. Is this correct?

Of course if ViperJohn or anybody else with experience making blocks is reading please do post your thoughts! What costs are we looking at and what sort of time frame?

Does anybody have the measurements of the mosfets of the EX58-EXTREME (or a link to them)? If Bitspower are producing blocks for the EXTREME I'm very interested in whether they will fit the UD5.

As a last resort I’m still totally open to the idea of personally producing the blocks, I’ll start the designing as soon as I have my measurements and I have checked that no other blocks fit. I’m simply NOT going to accept having no blocks for this motherboard.

Please keep the posts coming… any information is good information!

Thanks everybody.
