EK Supreme onto socket 2011

Dr Who · 23 Apr 2012 at 08:32

I have an EK Supreme CPU block, and I have seen that the 2011 mounts in a slightly different way to the 1366, but retains the same mounting dimensions.

Is it just a question of replacing the bolts that were used with socket 1366 to make them studs for the new socket 2011?

Anyone else tried this?

Yep that's all there is to it.

Didn't even need to change the screws in the end, just added the tension thumb nuts to the screws, springs as well, then passed them down through the waterblock into the socket as they were the right thread. Then simply tensioned as per normal.

Didn't tighten the screws down as I thought if I have to remove the nuts, then doesn't matter if the screws back out at the same time
