waterblocks question

are the waterblocks for socket 478 cpus compatible with lga775 cpus? looking at what ocuk have in stock it seems as though most will work with either.

are the chipset blocks for older 478 mobos (p65e) compatible with newer lga775 boards (p35)? again from the ocuk stock it seems as though they will be.

It depends on the waterblock but the Apogee and Fuzion are pretty much univeresal. Chipset blocks are depending on the er...motherboard.

i have a little river white water block on my p4 and hoping that i will be able to use it when i upgrade to an e6550.

may be getting the abit ip35 mobo but can't remember which chipset block i have as it is packed away.

i would like to reuse my watercooling gear when i upgrade to save some money

Hi,

Does your block have an USMA adaptor plate fitted to allow it to fit the S478? If it does then the outermost holes are already good for S775. If it doesn't then you will need to contact D-Tek or a water-cooling specialist that handles D-Tek to get you an USMA plate. I doubt OcUK would be interested in getting an USMA plate in for you as they have never been interested in that side of things in the past.

D-Tek are currently selling the last of their stocks of LRWW blocks with the USMA adaptor for $30, so you may be able to pick up a bargain somewhere.

Alternatively, just buy a FuZion instead.

would have to check my boxes of stuff to see if it came with an adaptor - i don't have one installed at the moment though. otherwise will try contacting dtek.

thanks

I have a PDF here that you could use to make an adaptor very easily. I gave up with my LRWW (original from Cathar not D-Tek) for a C2D because they really weren't designed for a CPU with an IHS.
