I am just worried about the amount of material by the cpu hold down.  The apogee block doesn't have a lot of material there, so it should be ok.  Dave has some calipers in any case.

NateMan, I emailed you pics , but between the Apogee HD and where the reference block sits, it is 0.160 inch.

Looks like we can move forward with a prototype for a chipset block.  Who would be interested in that?

Sure, im in.
Full black including fasteners.

I'm in.  Same as Dave.

I would be interested if it was shaped like a duck and if I had a dark :D 
 
 

Doh! Get one then??

Nate, why don't you make the Delrin top for the block over sized similar to the shape
of the stock heat sink and have the duck shaped block underneath?
EK have done this with a few of their blocks.
That way it would look a hell of a lot better and it means you could engrave the EVGA 'E'
on the top of it similar to the stock heat sink. That would be awesome.
I'm interested in a block but not really keen on the Duck shape.
I'd be happy to pay more just for aesthetic reasons.

I'd be down for a chipset block...Even if it ends up that I couldn't use it with whatever CPU block my system builder chooses I'll still buy one.

Its a pretty small block:
I wouldn't worry to much about the shape, most of it is covered by video cards anyway.
