EK Supremecy X99 --> 1151

[cluelessgenius]

what would it take to convert a x99 block to 1151?

 

new backplate and mounting plate right?

[Ithanul]

Since it is an EK Supremecy, those have the same bolt pattern and are compatiable with the 1151 socket.

Ah, miss that part.

 

Very odd though...they show Supremacy blocks with 1151 compatiblity.  Front bracket looks the same by what I can tell.

Must be a different back plate that is required.

 

These seem to be the only backplates on their official site for sale now.

as i understand it the screw hole positions are different so i would need a 1151 mounting plate and yes a backplate as well

 

im just owndering if anything else is required. like if the srews somehow need to be changed as well (mounting pressure) or something

Unsure. What is adding a bit to my confusion is when a site like Performance PC shows the EVO model being 1151 compatible.

Probably the best thing to do is email EK directly.  They should be able to give you an answer on what exactly you need to get to use an older x99 2011-3 block on a 1151.

 

Ah, I found a thread on a different forum where an individual had the same issue.

Seems only two items are required:

The backplates that I already linked.

The precise mount kit: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy-evo-precisemount-nickel

I looked at the front bracket of the new EVO and old EVO.  That plate looks the same by what I can tell.

Even EK's website does not show seperate front brackets.

but the x99 mounting plate has different screw positions than the 1151 mounting plate which has slits instead of of fix holes. right?

These are the pictures I am looking at.  Newer EVO on left, older EVO on right.

ohh shit so i understood you wrong you mean that there was an old X99 Block with variable screw positions? i didnt know that. anway th one im looking to get has fixed screws but already comes with an am4 backplate (shold be 1151 compatible) and the precise mount meaning the screws needed. i would only really need to get a different mounting plate and should be good to go i guess

Odd, I don't recall any fixed screw ones.

EK does sell that front bracket, so if the one you do get has fixed screws, the newer bracket should be able to be switch in.

Ek are pritty good at answering questions. I think ur best bet would be to contact them and simply ask. They may be able to source you a new mounting kit if needed.

yeah i already contacted them i hope its just the mounting plate i need. about to buy the X99 block full nickel for 50 bucks. which is pretty good for me but also i know how hard it is to get rid of used watercooling supplies so i try to help out other enthusiasts where i can before buying new.

EK Supremacy comes with different mounting hardware in the package,

to mount it on X99 or X299 you use smaller "screws" which are screwed directly to the socket (on the left side of the picture) , to mount it onto 1155/1151 socket you have to use longer "screws" and a backplate. (bottom of the picture)

If the block you are buying comes with all original package and hardware you can mounted on any intel LGA socket starting from LGA 775

Looks like it one of the very first revisions of supremacy block, and the mounting mechanism is designed for lga2011

in this case you need https://www.ekwb.com/shop/mounting-plate-supremacy-intel-black and request a mounting hardware and lga 1151 backplate from ekwb

ok i agree on the mounting plate. but backplate? wouldnt the am4 backplate also fit 1151. at least ekwb website says so, no?
