Nikoline Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi' there. I bought a new motherboard: Gigabyte X299 UD4 socket 2066 with RGB Fusion. I have a Pacific W1 waterblock from the old motherboard with socket 1150. Do I need an upgrade kit or a new waterblock???? Nikoline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi, The X299 socket is 2066 so the W1 supports it with the other hardware that was originally included in the box. No backplate, just like X99, just need the other screws that go directly into the 4 threads on the socket and basically the same hardware for everything else.

I use my old motherboard, Asus Z87-Deluxe/Quad with the Intel backplate included in the box. So for the new motherboard I don't need any backplate???? Do you have a picture of the screws i ned????

ThermalMike Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi, I do not have a digital copy of the manual on me, but it is in there if you maybe kept the box? The screws have threads on both sides, one side shorter than the other and the shorter side screw thread is bigger. You just screw the short end into the MB side then drop on the block, use the white washers and then the thrumb screws to secure it down. If you need further help, I will try to dig one up or take a picture of one here. Nikoline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
