xspc water block

Santa very kindly brought me a new motherboard and cpu for christmas and now I need the mounting hardware for a Intel cpu as before I was using amd. I have looked on numerous retailer sites but can't seem to find this as a kit but it is offered for Intel to amd. Any help appreciated

It would help if you said what block it is and what socket you are on.

Xspc raystorm block and socket 1150

I found plenty of places that sell the bracket but they don't come with the backplate or anything else. Even XSPC's shop don't sell it as a kit. I suppose you could email them to see if they offer a kit.

It seems ironic as they cater for Intel to amd and not the other way around

Edit: ignore that

What they should do is sell it as a complete package like EK and most of the others. The Block with brackets and backplates to fit all sockets from both manufacturers. If you email them it is very probable that they could help you out. I have emailed them before about a problem i had with my res and got a reply the same day. Not sure if they are working at the moment though being between Christmas and New Year.

I'll give it a go after the New year, on their website they do list a complete kit but no shop including their own sell it

Anything to get more money out of you. tbh I've had no joy when trying to contact XSPC regarding backplates, they completely ignored my emails to them and didn't even have the courtesy to reply with anything at all.

Your better off just buying what you need from a re-seller like OCuk.....
