yes you can mount 180 degrees. there are two sides with 3 screws. as long as one 3-screw side is adjacent and parallel to locking lever, its fine.
correct
YES. I didn't put that on the web page because it really is too extrme, but we tweaked the retention to compensate for lapped CPU's. Live and learn!!!
I expect it to be, but who knows? until we test, we really can't tell.
sure does. very good job with your design
TELLING: yes, you are 100% correct. thanks for clarifying. there are no mechanical limitations in terms of install orientation. Just piss-poor performance (relatively speaking).

Looks like an awesome block.
Gabe u're the man!
Eagerly waiting for more tests, although pretty certain u have on more future buyer here. Great work as always...

Is there a possibility that swiftech make different colors for these water blocks?
It looks so industrial. It's exactly what I have been looking for!
other than: the overal shape of the bracket, which is pretty dictated by the mount pattern, the size of the invidual pin in the pin matrix, the material of the base (copper), and the inlet/outlet thread class (1-4" BSPP) everything else is actually different.
MUST instead of RECOMMEND: most people who buy an $80 waterblock expect the absolute best performance. If they want this performance, then they MUST follow our installation instructions. Otherwise, why buying an $80 block? Just buy an Apogee GT for $39.95!

Other than pure CU, brass and derlin, nothing else allowed for swiftech m8...
A professional block should always look like one...

Very nice also it is good to hear that it works with compression!
nice! gotta get me one of these for my waterblock roundup i just started! w00T
Gabe, do you have firm date for the Core I5 Bracket ? and IS it always going to be optional ?
ETA in the US is ~October 15. There is never anything firm until the product is finished, QC'd, shipped, and arrived in stock ;-)
The 1156 bracket is NOT optional. it is included with the XT. It just wasn't ready yet, and we did not want to delay release of the XT for another 2 weeks for a bracket used in a CPU that was just introduced on the market and not yet in super high demand. As clearly indicated on our site, we will mail the bracket upon request for those customers purchasing the first batch of XT's shipped without the bracket. After that, we'll be bundling both bracket in the box.

God dammit, I was just about to pull the trigger on a heatkiller. Now I'll have to wait.
I was going to go for the Heatkiller but think I will wait for this now It looks amazing
Any idea whether the S775 backplate which came with the Apogee GTX/GTZ will work with the Apogee XT too please?

I really like the idea of a one water block for most platforms!
Good Job Swiftech!
Even if it wasn't battling for the crown of best performing i7 block, it definitely wins on pure aesthetics. I knew there was a point to holding off on upgrading my fuzion.
Took the plunge and just bought mine from FCPU a little bit ago. Looking forward to it.
Gabe, any reason there might be a problem having the hold-down bracket powder coated? I love everything about the new block except the shiny hold-down plate, so was thinking of having it powder coated black with a couple other pieces to have it match. Thanks.
