Hi guy, Aussie Allan living in the UK here in need of some help here with an upgrade that's grown into a icehole, simple intention was to retire my watered Q6600, mobo and memory for a GA-X58A-UD3R,clocked i7-950 and 24Gb of mushkin memory. The problem I've come up against is , all... including EK and MIPS have limited support for the UD3R, where the UD5,7 and 9 are well taken care of. Where I'm coming up short is Mosfet and chipset blocks. Mips have finally come back with there multi-chipset cooler (mch-2068) apparently will fit as it visually looks the same as the UD7 layout I'm told, can anyone confirm?? and second they said forget water on the mosfets!
I do have a passive option in reserve (MOS-C1 and 10s) but would rather water!
I do have a dremel and if pushed access to a mill so modding is not out of the question but would love to buy off the shelf parts, any recommendations or parts for sale or tried and tested ideas will be appreciated .
Failing that what parts will give me the least amount of modification to do (Machining),... gave up making my own water-blocks from scratch 10 years ago but might have to dust of the the mill and CAD again....Allan Thomson...aka "Aussie Allan"
