We don't have 45's in house, and I don't have their specs; sorry I can't answer. if you can measure your 45's OD, then we could look it up.

We didn't do any comparative testing against the Fuzion so we have no hard data to support any claims against the Fuzion. What you could do is lookup existing tests of the HK 3.0 vs the Fuzion in a 775 environment, and reasonably correlate existing data of XT vs HK.

Got Bitspower G 1/4" Rotary 45 degree 1/2" barb fittings on mine...

Great block, Swiftech really lead in terms of innovation with the hold down plate since the GTZ and the compression fitting accomidation with the switchable plate.

Good job Gabe.

Looks good, could you roughly guess how much gap there is between the 2 there? if its above 5mm, 10mm etc.

my 45º compressions look similar in sizing to those 45 elbows so it should fit well.

Couldn't find my caliper now, but it is less than 5 mm - approx. a tad over 4mm, so it is a tight one

Got my Bitspower's @ http://www.performance-pcs.com/ - these 45degrees cost $13.95 ( http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=25052 ) - unfortunately they don't have them in black sparkle

Received socket 1156 back-plates this morning. Now shipping to XT users.

Will also put together upgrade kit for Apogee GTX and GTZ over the week-end.

**GregSG** · 10-23-2009, 10:21 AM

SWC will be receiving them too?

Sweet, thanks Gabe. I just picked up mine this morning. It's an awesome looking block. I'll be forward to my backplate.

Nice!! I don't really think I need a new waterblock. I know the XT is probably better but I spent a lot with the copper top on my GTX. Its nice to know I'll have a bracket option. Even though I am no throwing a hunk of cash down on a new cpu block I will stick with Swiftech on any future purchases due to their dedication to their legacy products.

thanks Gabe!

It's not always possible (Apogee drive for example will not be 1366/1156 compatible), but we are certainly concerned about this and always do our best to provide an upgrade path.

We weren't contemplating doing the GT either, but I am having second thoughts about this. The issue is that the cost of making small series, necessitates using laser cut technology, which would make the GT brackets quite expensive ($15 each).

Any user feed-back will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

**ChielScape** · 10-23-2009, 03:08 PM

maybe a generic 775 to 1156/1366 conversion bracket would be an idea?

**KURTZ** · 10-23-2009, 10:21 PM

@ gabe (and others): can i ask you a question? i need to know if i can put 2 compression fittings for my Tygoon 1/2ID 3/4OD, thanks for the answer

edit: i mean these or maybe better these
