I have an AIO-S80DP kit on my (775) c2d rig right now. I would like to move it over to my 1366 rig when I set it up in the next few weeks.
Issue:Xigmatek never released a new bracket for the AIO-S80DP as it was somewhat of a launch failure due to its low powered/fast to die fans.
First of all the surface area is great enough to cool the 1366 processor. So don't worry about that its covered.
I am confident the setup can and will cool the 920 better than the stock fan (and most of the air options out there) as that is what it did for the 775 series if you upgraded its fans.
So, I need to make a new bracketing system for it. Over the next few days I plan to mock up some brackets for it.
I have access to:
The plan is to create some kind of system to attach to my current retention bracket to make it compatible with the 1366 socket.
Can anyone tell me how far apart the mounting holes are on a 1366 bracket? I may just drill them into my 775 bracket and thread them myself.
I'm open to any input anyone may have. I wan't to make sure I don't miss anything on this project.

- CNC machine (I would prefer not to fabricate any plastic parts, I would have to sneak into the lab and the machine is not exactly quiet.)
