Another craptacular watercooling product from Corsair.

[Sumanji]

Why craptacular? Looks ok...

[vudoodoodoo]

Flow killer.

[nn_step]

that is the most horrible cooling solution I have ever seen

[ANP !!!]

No Impressive attt all :((

[Nanometer]

Stupid engineers

[XSAlliN]

Is that home made?

[DFI pit bull]

I think it's a rather nice idea, a very neat design.

[ocmyface]

:sick: :sick: :sick:

bad bad bad design. flow killer :horse:

I second that . Also the flow problem everyone is talking about.

IN Hyd. systems how does one overcome Flow problems. ANS. Pressure!

With the heat issue transferring from the CPU to the GPU' s I think this is a nice GPU cooler. Fact is when wife gets here I will show her these . I bet she will buy. Maze 4 is nice but she was looking for something a little more pleasing to the eye's. These would look great in her modded Lian Li V-2000 case. :clap:

When will they release these for the ATI x1900xt cards?

[marauder16]

man this will cool like nothing, the water is just passing through that block and killing the flow, no use of that one...get the vf900 as it will be better than this one and you won't hurt your flow... :slapass:

[Kunaak]

I think people just like putting down any company thats not swiftech or dangerden...

seems like no matter what people release these days, all anyone says is that it sucks and its a flow killer...

does anyone even realize... this is almost identical to dangerdens design... which people seem to readily accept.
funny how that happens.

[thunderstruck!]

I don't approve of any full cover blocks..

[Steensen]

Kunaak Couldn't agree any more.
But there is one huge problem:
The distance between the two GFX _must_ be the same as the distanse (number of slots) that the engineers thought about.

Compatible with only double spaced PCI-E motherboards:

ASUS A8N-SLI/SE/Deluxe/Premium
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe
ASUS CROSSHAIR
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
ASUS P5NSLI
ASUS P5ND2-SLI/Deluxe
ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe/SE Deluxe
ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP
DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert/Venus
DFI LANPARTY UT NF590-SLI-M2R/G
MSI K9N Diamond
MSI K9N SLI Platinum
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
ABIT Fatality AN9 32X
ABIT AN9 32X
ABIT KN9 SLI

But if you do have one of those Motherbords, then it is an interresting consept with that "water SLI bridge".

These are terrible and dangerdens are just as bad. Full cover blocks are an absolute joke and should never be used by anyone.

By full cover blocks you mean covering Core and RAM, yes?

[Steensen]

Yes, and some times Vregs too.

But look at EK waterblocks, these full cover blocks perform better than a GPU only Maze4 block, if the owner is capable of mounting it correct, which is most likely the problem most full cover block owners have.

Yes, they lack the 600GPH eheim 1060 pump. :D

just about exactly what i was going to say.. the only thing that corsaid did a bit odly was the interconnect for sli...

[Shpoon]

I think it looks horrible (I think all full covers are dumb)...

That has a sharp turn, 90 elbow, flow restrtiction, 90 elbow, and a sharp tubing bend to finish it off...

Can you not see all the sharp angles? We aren't putting it down for being made by Corsair, it's actually a good concept idea that other companies can use.... It's just bad simply because it isn't a good basic design. You can be sure this will not perform as well as the other blocks, and you can be sure it will probably be just as expensive or more because it's from Corsair.

Yea I heard ya. If they smooth out the turns and corners more then it wouldnt be half as bad. I give them some credit for not just sitting around and making ram. We saw some power supply from them which is pretty damn good for first timer, and now this, well not so great. But if they can do some more R&D, I wouldnt underestimate their potential.

Ya I seen that. Fact is I thought it was a dangerden block made for corsair. What I like is how the water ports are placed.

[J-Mag]

Yeah I have never really seen a point to full coverage blocks. Also, the HS for the voltage regulator still needs some air flow...

[Turtle 1]

Yes, and some times Vregs too.

Thats exactly it. Since the PCB's are productions jobs you get a small verance between the gpu' and the rams hieght.

As far as the log between the 2 cards. I would never run a looped system .

Everthing thats water cooled should have its own water supply via a manifold. Its a lot more expensive because you need 2 pumps. Because of the preasure drop so you would lose flow. With 2 pumps you can maintain flow . The supply manifold should also have flow control valves so you can dial in flow for each water(liquad) block.

Really don't you think that the Voltage regulaters for the GPU and M/B should use water blocks also?
