Is it just the same as the current one with a new mounting kit and fan?

setter · 8 Nov 2008 at 14:40

Nice find, particularly like the fan mounting setup, always been a bit wary of the wire clips as theyre quite flimsy.

so we will be able to use our existing TRUE's with 1366?

Should be compatible proberly just need the updated mounting kit, would have been nicer if it was all black but I gotta admit I like the fan clipping system much more better

I hope thermalright release the fan holder as a separate accessory, would cerainly be a lot easier to use than the wire clips.

It's funny, I've always liked the standard Thermalright wire clips, as long as you have the proper postless 120mm fans it's easy as can be!

I can't recall seeing Thermalright bundle a fan with their heatsinks before, I guess that's due to the competition (Noctua, Tuniq, Scyth, Xigmatek, Arctic, Akasa, etc etc).

I am also curious to see if Thermalright adopt the HDT system as used by Xigmatek etc, the HDT tech seems like a good idea, wonder why they don't use it? :confused:

My main problem with the wire clips was the hassle when it came to changing my fans, i use 2 in push/pull. Replaced the fans this week, and to get at the rear facing one involved disconnecting all my components and sliding the mobo tray out. Due to the location of the 8 pin power socket on my board, its not easy to replace the rear fan with the mobo tray in the case.

Ah fair enough, I've only used one set of clips before, also passive!

When will this be released? Do people think that getting the 1366 package will be cheaper than the current 775 package plus a 1366 bolt through kit?

Sayso · 26 Nov 2008 at 22:42

i hate those clips ended up using some velcro to attach my fans

MoRT489 · 27 Nov 2008 at 10:48

well the bolt thru kit can be found in UK for about £7.

zip ties for the win!

The 1366 mounting kit has been available for well over a week. True120 + mounting kit + fans =£65ish.

Too much £££ when the Noctua 1366 is only £55 delivered from here and sent OCUK a webnote as others have both of these already (but only do citylink delivery & charge P&P on top) so going to wait a few more days for OCUK to get them in as free postage here & better customer service as well!!

£29.89 + £7 + £8.04 = £44.93 or add 2 fans and their pretty much equal.

I find the mounting clips a bit fiddly but once they are on the fan feels quite secure to me.

good find, saving money on those expensive i7 builds! :cool:
