I have the system is the sig and I used to love using my nautilus 500 for overclocking whenever I had the urge to experiment with my cpu's limits. With my i7 setup, the only reason I'm not OCing beyond are the temperatures.

Does anyone know if there is a bracket, clamp, adapter for my old WC setup or what should I consider using as a replacement block. The block it comes with is amazingly well put together and that's why I wanted to keep it but if I have to, I'll change it. Suggestion? I'm looking to check out fry's tomorrow if you know something is there for pick up. Otherwise, there's no price limit--I just want a quality block.

I'm currently using a v8.
 
It would probably be best to wait until Corsair releases a mounting kit for i7. If they don't or you can't, then check out the EK Supreme or Swiftech GTZ. They both have mounting hardware available for i7.
 
I just noticed on one of Kyle's vids that he plans to test some WC block in the near future. I'd hate to buy before hand but I'm getting a little ancy. I googled for hours and pretty much know what's available...it really boils down to hands on experience now.

thanks for the links (and advice) tho'!
 
Funny enough - I am in the exact same boat. I just put together my 920 -- and I am looking for a good self contained water cooling system.

I found this:

it is using the GTZ block. You can always go with the Koolance 350 (pics on the hard homepage), or wait for the bracket - which may or may not come out.

I'm really looking for the block only. I don't want to mess with the entire kit though it sounds interesting...
 
me too, came in today with the Ci7 Hold down plate. We'll see...
