Will a block from a 2011 socket CPU work on a 2011 v3 without an adapter?

hey guys

moving my water block from my 2011 socket build to my 2011v3 build.

Will i need to buy an adapter plate or will it just be plug and go on the new board?


Cheers!

Aye, Fitment is the same - no need to change blocks or add an adapter plate

hey guys, just got my board and i cant see any possible way to mount the water block...

here are a couple of pics, on the RIVE the screws went in the underside of the board and through these holes, but these holes and blanked off

I assume i need some sort of special screw that goes in the top side, but what would it be and how can i get it

Your pics are so good you can see the cooler mount screws threads.

They don't mount through the board

Well there doesn't look like there are any traces going through the holes, you could try drilling through them, at your own risk.

Edit: his mounting screws might be too long to fit in them.

im not going to drill out a new motherboard...there must be another way...

looking at it, all i need are M4 screws that dont have a head to them, just not sure what they would be called or where to get them

Less of the personal insult, he clearly states his mounting system previously bolted through the back of th board.

OP, you can mount it from the front, you just have to put the washers, spring and nut on the screws in reverse. It'd help to know what block you have.

these are the screws i have, designed to go underside, i cant find a solution for screws with no head...

Oh lawd, please just stop trying to give advice. Whilst it does look like there aren't any traces, his warranty would be GONE if he did that, so no, just no.

block is an EK supreme nickel, what i need are M4 screws that dont have a head to them...

OP, Put the nut on the screw first and tighten it up to around the screw head, then put a washer, spring, then another washer. Place the block over the CPU socket, and screw all 4 screws in from the front. You'll then be able to tighten the nuts as you would have previously to hold the block down.

like so?

Your cooler should have come with the right fitting.

Seen a similair issue with the ek predator self contained unit on certain boards.

it didnt.



so can anyone confirm that screw setup is fine?

 

[spoffle]

Yeah that's how you want it.

Less of the personal insult. It's clearly a matter of the block being an older one that predates modern mounting methods.

 

[InfernoUk]

Yeah that's how you want it.

thanks for your help, so then it just goes through the cooler which sits on the mobo holes?

 

[spoffle]

Yep
