Xigmatek S1284, Delta EFB1312VHE Fan and My noise

[Cold Storm]

Was that a newegg Version 1 S1284 ? I don't understand how the bolt thru kit wouldn't work if its for socket 775, isn't there a plate for the back of the motherboard?

Is that one of these? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&SpeTabStoreType=&Order=BESTMATCH&srchInDesc=

Edit yeah I see the bracket problem

Yeah, that damn thing with it having to curve in order to get into the holes. I hated it. I really wanted the bracket system to work. But didn't really care much. Since I just went water.

I heard the S1284 from Newegg right now is not the completed version. According to frostytek, it actually performs worse than S1283. The new revision is due mid July. It is no longer nickel plated.

I haven't went to Frosty in a while. It's probably true. I really didn't see a difference in temps from having the Delta on my S1283 then the S1284... There wasn't any difference that I could see. I hope that does happen..All I do know is that I have that, and fans sitting in a box now.. Lol.

Here check out this review. It talks about the engineering sample of the new S1284 vs the old S1284.

From that, and the guy at xigmatek not telling me about this, I really have to think about calling them back with that... Seeing what's going on with that... You know...

Update:

I added to the first post that the retention bracket is now being sold at Newegg if anyone wants it.
