Tthe fittings used to transfer between the EK-FB RE3 Mobo Full Block to Swiftech ApogeeXT Ultra CPU Waterblock are here I didn't include the 2 Bitspower black sparkle 90degree rotaries, since they seem pretty obvious but just in case..I mentioned it anyway.:

Do you know if there is an aftermarket full board heatsink for Rampage III for air cooling? I don't really want to do the waterblock just yet, but I would like to replace it with something more substantial.
ReplyDeleteCool. I could of swore that the WB's taps was BSPT and not NPSM though, guess it must of been hidden somewhere, unless you retaped it.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think they are BSPT,,but NPSM works, and it's what they had available at microcenter.com when I purchased them. I the most important thing is that there is a difference in height vs the Asus heatsink, the EK block sits lower.
ReplyDeleteAnd athletex2, there is no full board aftermarket heatsink that I know of for active or air cooling on this board. The Asus RE3 heatsink is really well built though so I wouldn't really change it for air cooling, just get more fans, better fans, etc... If it helps, it also includes an active NB heatsink (has a small fan on it) that can be powered via the motherboard. I can post up a pic of the heatsink if you'd like.
Very true, NPSM will work in BSPT if only about 3 threads are catching any more than that it's going to scream and cry at you to retap, or it will just cut it's own threads with a pair of pliers, :)
