LGA775 waterblock that installes without removing the motherboard.

hyperasus · Aug 16, 2006

Are there any waterblocks out there that can be installed on a PC without having to remove the MB? The only thing I have seen is the CORSAIR Nautilus 500 but it is a full kit and I don't think they sell just the waterblock.

well if you can finda "clip" wb for socket 478 and use something like the thermalright rm-478. lets you use 478 hs on lga, just clip the hs like you did with 478. i got a RM and 6002 with 478 mounts from a previous build im going to use at somepoint.

Just do like I did, and make a square cutout on the mobo tray in the area of the cpu.

I do alot of cleaning, go to alot of LANs, so this makes it SOOO much easier to change something out while I service the rig, or something goes wrong.

The Alphacool Nexxos XP LGA 775 version uses the same clip system as Thermalright's new series of heatsinks and won't require you to remove your motherboard to install/remove it.

And it's still a very efficient block. You will have to remove the stock retention bracket though.

Thanks Captian Slug. That is exactly what I was looking for.
