no this is where it gets tricky

this bracket is from the old heatsink, but the waterblock is from some old amd, im keeping it hough and modding the bracket, needs some grinding/cutting

ohh look one of the many xclamps off of a rrod, fits the block perfect but

will end up screwing to the mod. bracket for more support like so

i bought the cpu, heatsink, mobo together
and when i seperated heres what i got

looks like the cpu and heatsink didnt have full contact

 

[v8killaz]

cleaned of cpu and i find this

seems to be lapped, poorly at that

inside the case

stripped case

for now ill be modding the waterblock bracket, and choosing a paint for the case inside. and relapping cpu

you verify it was a q6600 before you bought it?

 

[veg1992]

Where on earth did you get a q6600 for $70.

You sure it wasn't an e6600?

updates

too cold today to paint but i tried, will do some more coats when my car is out the garage
ohh and got my bracket on, had to do some modification but didnt even need the xclamp thing
also lapped the waterblock and cpu a bit bette than before

heres the case, notice its not done, was just checking the color, will be doing some more coats later

and heres the water setup

all done, fit amazing and secure

^ it'll be fine. just be sure NOT to use tap water. USE ONLY DISTILLED. or else it will screw your pump up.

ehh too late i guiess well see if the pump holds
what should i flush it out with, alcohol or something

When I filled my watercooling system up, I used water from the filtering jug we have, and boiled it. Then added some coolant (which is supposed to be for car radiators, but works fine)

Just empty it out and replace the water with distilled. Regular water has various minerals in it which over time will build up on everything. If you've only had regular water in it for a few days you won't have a problem
