I'm finally making the jump to A64, and I'm wondering what the best way to attach my waterblock to socket 939 is (I'm using an Abit AN8 sli).
My waterblock (pictured here) consists of a copper base with channels carved in it, sealed with a sheet of lexan. Currently I'm using socket A's four mounting holes to anchor the block using matching holes in the lexan.
I suppose the simplest thing would be to remove the s939 mounting bracket, and bolt the lexan to the motherboard using the two mobo holes. However, I'm wondering if there is something a bit more elegant. The problem with using the mobo holes is that I wouldn't be able to switch back to a normal heatsink (for testing or quick installs) without removing the mobo to reinstall the bracket.
Any ideas?
