anybody has any idea when the Core i5 socket 1156 mounting kit for the Dark Knight will be available?

eh guys...those using the crossbow kit....the one with the backplates... especially the new DK backplates...

does ur backplate get hot? mine does.

crossbow is basically the mounting kit for th tower coolers that uses a backplate and screws for "better" contact.

most of the coolers (especially for intel) uses the push pins...the crossbow replaces it so u get "better" contact between hsf and cpu..

anyone using DK on the Q6600???

wats ur temps and voltages etc etc??

(intel wise)

DK comes with crossbow only...

the others released before DK comes with the pushpins only for LGA775. u have to purchase the crossbow seperately.

the DK crossbow has mounts for i7 and 775....no i5 yet though.

RS need to take out meh?? i tot it comes with the intel push pins thingy?

or does it come with the crossbow kit oso?

i use tweezers to pull the rubber out...

its abit more tedious yes, but not much difference la...

sometimes i pull the rubber out of the fan first using needle nose pliers to squeeze it through but more tedious though.

u can get the crossbow kit from lingloong

more secure coz it uses a back plate and screws

add abit more and get the S1283

should be able to handle ur OC.

a 1000watt is more than enough to power up the extremely power hungry 8800GTX in SLI . so im sure itll be more than enough to power up ur more energy efficient HD5970 xfire

n screenie from AMD's website (which is a good site to find out these kinda things btw)
