Will this NB block work??

[KaptainBlaZzed]

i have a ASUS P4C800-e with a 875 chipset.
and i also have this waterchill NB block that says it is universal but it has a flat bottom like every other water block, can i just attach the block with tie downs??
The origional heatsink has a faom ring protecting these little resistor looking things in the NB.
What is the puropse of this foam ring and can these little resistor looking things touch the water block?

And foam protection ring on origional heatsink:

Thanks

I have this block on my NB...

...I too have an 875p chipset and it has the resistors on the top of it like you said. My waterblock came with a little foam piece and the instructions said to put it around the core of the NB. It is VERY BAD if those resistors touch the bottom of the block, they will short out and then your board will be fried, so you should/need to put that foam piece between the block and the NB.

The water block has holes in the clear plastic that allows it to be attached to chipsets that use the normal universal mounting holes. Your motherboard I guess doesn't have those. But I'm sure you can find a way to attach it... you could probably use tie downs but I'd personally try to find a method involving machine screws/bolts.

In regard to the foam pad, I assume its just like the padded circles on top of processors without heatspreadders.... to push provide support for the heatsink to avoid crushing the core of the CPU. Its doubtful that the 'resistor' like things are as tall as the core but you could always find some sort of material to put on top of them anyway.
