Anybody know where I can go and get myself one of these or anybody spotted one I cannot find them in stock anywhere. It's for mounting an EK block directly on top of your Ivybridge CPU, for the kind of ultra level cooling I will be needing for my next insane benchmark where I kill my 3770k and replace it with a 4770k

I have also been looking for this!

rjkoneilll said this in the product suggestion forums: "the precision kit is not on the cards just yet. tbh, it is probably best to buy it from EK if you want one quick."
 
Unfortunately EK are all sold out for now I will contact them and let you know what the stand is on that. I am looking at getting an EK-Supremacy elite it actually looks like the screws are included in the package and I have the tools to remove the CPU holder anyway.
 
Wow didn't even know this existed. Hat's off to EK for doing it, should make 5ghz+ on ivy a little easier.
 
Yeah not having a problem with 5Ghz at the moment but I really need to get 5.25 Ghz for that achievement in 3DMark13 :D

Just look at the link above link for the Supremacy Elite it shows exactly the same screws as in the Precise Mount kit minus the star head Allan key. It's a slight possibility it may be included with the kit. Plus there is no reason why you couldn't remove the cpu holder with a star head screw driver and use the bolts provided with your cpu block I guess.

Get in touch with EK, I can't see them being out of stock for something as minor as a standoff for long.
 
tbh,

if you are going to mount the block direct to the die. you should delid the cpu, wipe off the rubbish tim that intel use. replace it with liquid metal and use silicone sealant around the ihs again.
it knocks loads off and protects your cpu still.

But on the other hand, if you have the stones to de-lid your CPU in the first place you prob have the stones to run without an IHS for better temps in exchange for a less protected die.
 
Thought I'd ordered one but when it arrived today it turned out to be the standard Supremecy PreciseMount kit that comes with the waterblock not the 'Naked Ivy' add-on.

Almost tempted to DIY it, presumably the only difference with the Naked Ivy standoffs is they would be slightly shorter than the standard ones?

My excuse for ordering the wrong part is that I ordered it on my phone whilst not wearing glasses :rolleyes:
 
The step will be slightly lower on the naked-ivy kit rather then the entire stand off being shorter. The bit the block clamp sits on. To mod it you'd need to reduce the step.

Precise mount = can only screw down so far. Its far far better then the conventional clamp plate methods :)
 
I dont understand how that works, when i cooled my 3570k directly i coudnt get enough pressure onto the die cause the bottom of ya water block hits the top of the socket where it stands up slighty around the cpu, i was gonna reduce the surface area to the same size of CPU, but i hit my chips volt limit just using liquid pro on the heat spreader i didnt see the need to hack my block up..

I just mounted the block my self using threaded rods nuts washers and thumbscrews, i even kept the back plate in ya get with the kit to make sure the board didnt flex when i clamped it on.

Ide like to see this kit so i can work out how they did it.
 
:p

Having had a better look at the OP's pic...are this 'naked' chips just sat in the socket with no socket clamp??? As I'd imagine you're loosing a few mm with no IHS so the clamp wouldn't be effective.

If thats the case then I'd be very skeptical using this kit, no socket clamp and no IHS. One slip you could have a cracked die and a heap of broken socket pins.
 
Its fine removing the socket clap, and ya dont need to be totally reckless bout it ya can just get a thin piece of plastic and layerup packing tape on it untill its die thickness, then cut a die sized hole in the middle, its how i always used to protect my die.
 
No clamps on the chips. The installation manual recommends:

You may use scotch tape to secure the CPU to edges of
the socket.

Not a problem as long as you're careful when taking off the block.

The lga2011 stands have about 2mm lower step height than the 1155 stands (assuming I'm understanding step height correctly) but they're designed to be screwed straight into the ILM rather than through a motherboard so have a much shorter thread at the bottom where they are screwed in (visually they look too short to fit through the mobo to the backplate on 1155 socket).

I think I'll wait until I can buy a kit rather than attempting a ghetto version as I'm liable to break something :D

I don't think that would work with the EK Supremecy. When fitted you tighten the top screws fully & the springs clamp the block down to the step height that pgi947 mentioned (the gap between the motherboard & the wide bit at the bottom of the stand if I understand correctly).
 
Hmm, must be my mobo then i guess, the plastic cpu socket surrounds the cpu slightly and stand a little higher then the CPU surface, the copper surface of the waterblock then hits the surrounding socket. The heat spreader normally raises the effective height of the die slightly to get past the socket surface.
