Just received this waterblock for review on the Nehalem platform.
As always, excellent craftsmanship from Swiftech. I especially like the mounting; no loose parts, no tools needed, thumbscrews, wiggle room to squeeze out the thermal paste. Beating all other aftermarket mountings by far in my opinion.

Some pictures:











According to Swiftech, the chromed hold-down is what will be shipped in the mounting for LGA1366, while the back plate might differ at launch.

MSRP: $9.95 (USD) for the mounting.

Testing has already begun, but I can't disclose any numbers as of now

This back-plate was made out of CNC aluminum specifically for the purpose of sending out a cooling solution to reviewers pre-launch, as our production back-plate wasn't ready yet. The Production back-plate is stamped steel & pem standoffs and expected to arrive on time for Corei7 official launch (crossing fingers..)
