do you think it will be difficult to create a custom hold down mechanism to mount koolance blocks on the chipset-heatpipe system of BloodRage? do you have any recommendations for the position of the mounting holes or the mounting mechanism for our chipset-heatpipe system?
originally i wanted to create it in a way that koolance and other waterblocks can be mounted as well, and third party chipset heatsinks too, but it turned out to be quite complex and we didnt have the time and resources and wanted to keep the design simple. you guys are very experienced with mounting brackets, so any suggestions?
Well... not many other manufacturers use single components blocks anymore, it seems to be shifting towards full coverage blocks. But we offer them and don't ever plan on discontinuing them due to their awesome flexibility. We really just need two holes located anywhere. If you want to take a look at a short installation manual here, you'll see page three has a good description of how we mount ours on a motherboard. The biggest problem I've had with boards is that the contact area above the northbridge is either too small (doesn't look to be the case here at all ) or there are raised portions around the contact area that interfere with appropriate contact (again not the case ).

I see on the board though you have four screws that hold down your northbridge cooler... we will probably end up revising our mounting hardware slightly to account for such situations... but I'll see when I get to mess around a bit on Friday . I'll send you a PM with what I find if you'd like.
