asetek Antarctica LGA775 @ ViperLair

Published: | Posted By:

The Antarctica is a pretty good waterblock despite it being based on old hat technology (microfin designs similar to the "White Water" block of old)
"One thing that is of great importance to take into consideration when choosing a water block is the area around your CPU socket. You want to make sure that there are no components that are in the way of the block. On my system, which uses the Abit AS8 motherboard, there was a capacitor that was about a millimeter too high positioned close to the socket, which caused the block to not sit level on the CPU."
They used a dremel to modify the block so it would fit, this process isn't really recommended.
