Are there any plans for EK 790i reference board blocks?

I would hope so.

I wish that all the major companies would send the latest engineering samples to EK so that he could make waterblocks that would release when the products are released. I believe it would increase sales a bit if not more.

I have the same question. The spacing between the mounting holes for SPP and MCP is around 55 mm. It should be possible to use either EK-NB/SB 5 (http://ekwaterblocks.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=261) or EK-NB/SB 6 (http://ekwaterblocks.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=263). Event the old (and discontinued?) EK-NF4 rev1.1 should work according to my calculations. I'm not sure though if it is possible to use 3-way SLI with them.

Any new info on this? About 3 more weeks before I need to place my order for the blocks im getting.

If there is no news on the EK ones ill go with ViperJohn's. His blocks are awesome but I really wanted watercooled Mosfets too, and with EK CPU/Mosfets/GPU blocks I figured id get their NB block aswell.

It is confirmed that you can use the EK-NB/SB5 and EK-NB/SB6 on the 790i reference mobo for the SPP and MCP respectively. Check out this (http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/download/EK_Compatibility_NB_SB_Mosfet_04-2008.pdf) list. No mosfet blocks yet however.

I'm ordering the SPP/MCP blocks later today and maybe I can post some pictures in a week or two.

I have four 790i kits left and will not be making anymore.
