Swiftech unveils Apogee XT new flagship waterblock

[gabe]

ah ok, awesome, will do when I by the xt block do i need any proof of purchase? as I'd like to have the mountings when the block comes so i can use it.

Yes you do

Gabe is the 1156 Bracket just a Backplate? or do you get a new bracket to go on the block also ?

Just a back-plate

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).

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"

Hey Gabe any time frame on when the AM3 backplate will be released?

The AM2/AM3 bracket is in production.It will also include mounting holes for Xeon (771) server class platforms.

ETA is 4 weeks.
