So, any updates on actual performance update and/or reviews? Debating between a HK 3.0 or this.
Done with testing as of ~1 hour ago
Working on the write-up, should be up the next couple days.
yes, contact michelle@swiftech.com. if you already have a swiftech block, you do not need anything. just re-use the existing back-plate, they are the same.

Gabe is the 1156 Bracket just a Backplate? or do you get a new bracket to go on the block also ?
The 1156 will be just a backplate...the stock bracket can do 775, 1156, and 1366 (and advertises 771, but I thought that wasn't a square-hole design, so IDK about that).
Hey Gabe any time frame on when the AM3 backplate will be released?

Yes you do
Just a back-plate
I need to clear some confusion here In the Motherboard and CPU compatibility secton, we advertise: "The Apogee™ XT is shipped with a universal hold-down plate and retention mechanism compatible with all Intel® Core™ desktop (in bold also on the site) processors: socket 775, socket 1156, and socket 1366. ."
Socket 771 is not Desktop class, it's server class.
I think the confusion comes from the fact that in the Performance section we say "Mechanical design of the copper base plate is optimized for Intel® socket LGA 771, 775, 1156 and 1366"
The AM2/AM3 bracket is in production.It will also include mounting holes for Xeon (771) server class platforms.
ETA is 4 weeks.

Gabe, any Updates on the Backplate for 1156 ?
Gabe also, does the XT Block work ok with 1/4 tubing on low flow systems ? Currently running a Coolit System Boreas with (2) Freezone Elites in the loops.. Water Temp stay around 19-20C
I am Currently Using a EK Supreme Gold Block. and with vcore at 1.39 running 4ghz With HT on my I7 860 full load 62-64-59-65 Water Temps 19.6C Been running Prime95 for 8hrs and counting
hoping the XT Block will help

I am hoping the Xt block is alot better then my EK Supreme Gold.. Because I got my water down to 18C last nite running Full Load Prime 95 and my cpu temps dont change much.. appears my block doesnt do a good job transfering heat
eddy, the temps are not changing very much as my water gets colder.. I think its because I am using 1/4 tubing like I said in my previous post. "cpu temps dont change much" I am using a Koolance pump that does 7 L/Min with 2.6m Head Preassure.. This is on a Core I7 860 4ghz with HT On 1.39 Vcore
Any idea on UK availability?

gabe, Will you guys sell the mounting bracket, screws, springs and backplates seperately as a mounting kit from the xt? It would be good for guys that lost it or want to mount their own waterblocks. I like the swiftech mounting.
