Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Swiftech's website!
Ok I have different hardware then what swiftech shows for the gt. I have the old spring hardware way of doing it. But no worries. I found a guide elsewhere.
edit. I did first check the website, but must have overlooked it before starting this thread.

Yes 4 bolts, 4 lock washers, 4 nuts, 8 soft washers(that go between the mobo and bolts),4 springs, and 4 acorn nuts. I just wasn't sure what order they went in.
edit..And 8 plastic spring placement washers? They keep the springs in place on the bolts.

Go on the web site again.
Click liquid cooling.
Click on the block you have.
On that page, on the right about 1/3 down the page is an English flag and "installation guide". Thats what you need.
I missed it several times.
The "spring method" uses a bolt x 4 from the underside of the MB, secured with a nut on the top side (plus a paper washer underneath,a paper and lock washer on top)
Then the Apogee is placed.
Then on top of the Apogee "arms" white shoulder washer,spring,white shoulder washer and finally the acorn nut.
Tighten the acorn as tight as you can by hand.
Swiftech now uses a "back plate" method which is illustrated on the web site. But let me tell you......it didnt work on my MB mounting plate on my case. The mounting screws were too long and I couldnt tighten the block down at all. I have my GTX mounted with the screw and springs and it works just fine.
I would be happy to fax you a copy if you need printed instructions. I dont have a scanner.

No need to, I found the instructions somewhere else before I noticed it on swiftech's site. Good job on the written instructions btw.
