Any using Silverstone Tundra or Lepa Aquacharger on amd?

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

I ask because after a half dozen emails to lepa/silverstone/frozencpu not one has replied to my quest to find the intel mounts I did not think I was gonna need. But now that I've switched to the darkside I'm looking for an amd'er willing to sell their intel "ears"

What exactly are you trying to ask? I'm a bit confused.

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

I need the intel brackets for a lepa aquacharger (which is a really a silverstone tundra underneath) I don't know whet happened to them (I moved in the interim not sure they made the trip). since I was using this on amd at the time the intel brackets were not a concern.

But now that I'm using a dual Xeon x5680 (i7-980x equiv.) setup I'm trying to avoid buying a 3rd water cooler for $50 just to get some $2 brackets, so far 2 weeks and six emails to lepa/silverstone/frozencpu and not one reply, so I'm hoping someone using one of these coolers on amd would be willing to throw their unused intel brackets on ebay..

Ah ok that makes much more sense. Sorry I don't use one and can't help you out. Though someone on the forum might be able to.

The pisser is neither lepa or silverstone bother to even reply to inquires, even the most basic ? "do you have replacement mounting kits for these units" is ignored 0 stars for both on cust. service..

I understand your frustration. I'll do some searching on the web. Maybe I'll find something.

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

Yeah no luck with google, amazon, ebay, had a glimmer of hope when I figured out these were really silverstone units, but it was false hope, no separate mount kits for sale, unlike corsair and cooler master where buying replacement mounting kits is no problem ;-(

Might need ghetto rigging, and might not even work, but seeing if this might be possible.

Yeah, probably not, I need the 2 side peices that attach vertically with w/2 screws then twist over to the horz. to attach, the wigger way would be to trying and bend the amd brackets out to reach the intel mount points..

Well if all else fails, desperate times desperate measures...

To bad this seems to be a unicorn, my inner nerd aches for one of these..

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

No matter the gear the 2-d and memory scores seem to stay stuck in the mud, and that just bugs me..

ajpaolello · Aug 25, 2016

Hm. Not sure man.

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

The 2-d graphics makes me wonder, going from a 550ti to gtx760 was like 3x faster 3d but 2d were pretty much the same, not sure if 2d really matters, since it's nothing loadwise compared to 3d and maybe the 2d numbers are not really relevant?

ajpaolello · Aug 25, 2016

Might be CPU limiting it? Maybe that's where the 2d comes from?

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

With a my new rig (dual Xeon x5680's) vs old (fx-8320) my passmark is 14000 up from 9500ish and cinebench15 is around 1500, up from 646 and the 2d numbers were unchanged so I don't think it's cpu bound

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

Fx-8320 vs 2 x5680's = 4% 2d score change correction that MINUS 4% (within normal variation, but still not cpu bound)

ajpaolello · Aug 25, 2016

Ok so not that.

scottfree1_01 · Aug 25, 2016

I'm thinkin 2d is just not that important, if you look at the tests it's text and scroll boxes flying around, and really who goes darn that text is just not scrolling fast enough 4 me??

Very true sir. Very true.
