Peeps,

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong pls?

I have this Case and watercooling system http://www.thermaltake.com/2005/xase.../vb5001sna.htm
Which uses this block http://www.thermaltake.com/images/wa...largedView.jpg
The bottom looks like this http://www.thermaltake.com/images/wa...l-w0010/02.jpg
I want to fit it to this board http://eu.dfi.com.tw/Upload/Product_Picture/rdx200.jpg The Lan party RDX 200 (Crossfire) and the bugger wont fit! The thing is 90 degrees out. Am I missing something??

Please make me feel foolish and put me out of my misery

Whisky.

Please read the manual for your Intel watercooling system and tell me why it won't work on your AMD setup.

The reason the IntelLGA775/487 AND AMD K8/K7 with UNIVERSAL CLIPS doesn't fit is because the step cut in the bottom that aligns with the CPU Socket means the inlet and outlet are on the axis of the hold down bolts, therefore the universal clips dont fit.

I pretty sure the cut out is just for K7, I don't think you'll have any clearance issues running it 90 degrees from where you are trying to mount it.

AntiM,

Thanks mate. I have heard this from 2 peeps now so I will go ahead and disassemble and try it.
