Hi All,

We almost ready the new version on all roary series in this week but we also ready the design on ASUS RAMPAGE EXTREME ...

Here they are....



One more thing is please make sure you get the RMA number form us..and then we can arrange the new version for you from next week.

maybe I need to take off my shoes too, but how do you count 4 blocks? 2 for the mosfet's, and one combo for the nb/sb

Look above the RAM slots.

There's another block hiding by the RAM slots.

So will this also fit the rampage formula? The only difference between the 2 boards is ddr2/ddr3 correct?

From all outward appearances, i would assume that these blocks will fit/work on a Maximus II Formula???

I'm sure the 2 MOSFET blocks will. :D

Oh and from my experience the memory's MOSFETs don't even get mildly warm under load... the water in the loop may actually heat the FETs up :rofl:

LOVE the NB/NBVRM/SB block though :up:

Very nice......Like how all the MOSFETs are covered for the NB,CPU and RAM. Now....Vincent......You keep showing us all this computer pron and to be Frank (if he does not mind), ummmm you got stock the shelves before our stuff is already replaced with newer stuff. I have a Maximus Extreme that is almost a year old and in computer years that's about 80 in human years. Keep up the great designs and hopefully we see them on the shelves soon. :up:

i'll echo this. since they rampage extreme and maximus II have exact same layout, it should fit, but i just need to make sure

for anyone that will have the extra aircooled heatsink assembly (with the huge modular mosfet sink) leftover after getting this kit, i'm willing to buy of you so PM me

No, they DON'T have exactly the same layout. They might have similer looking stock HPA, but they are totally different motherboards design wise.

Let's skip the RAM MOSFETs, as Maximus II Formula don't even have the mounting holes for them.

The NB/SB blocks, if you look carefully, also extends to the left side of Rampage Extreme's northbridge. This is so that it can also cool the NB's power circuitry, as they can get quite hot under load. Its layout is completely different from the Maximus II Formula, and might even cause a short if you try fitting it on the motherboard.

What you're looking for are these (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=201320).

Only the CPU MOSFET blocks will fit both the Rampage Extreme and the Maximus II Formula from this set.

Awesome block! Any idea when these will be available in the stores?

Just ordered the new Swiftech block fot my RE. :(

Oh well, i can always sell it and get this...

We try our best to ship all of those model out before the end of Oct.


WOOOWWWW......that is real deal dude........ejejejejejej congratulation :D can you post more photos????

Thanks...We will arrange more photos after I check all the design in this week..


Hope to get em in germany...I NEED EM :D

Sure...Europe will have resellers to stcok them when it available.



Looks good

+1 on when we can expect to see these in stores?

We try our best to ship all of those model our before the end of Oct.


Vincent...

Still waiting on 780i blocks...:shrug:

Don't worry about this...You got my words.


+1, please bring BP blocks to the Uk, all we can buy is a very small selection of Compression fittings.

Business issue...But we think we can solve this.


Me to will these be in the uk?


Business issue...But we think we can solve this.


Damn four blocks for that mobo, looks good vincent.

thanks...Here is last one block will be come with the Black Freezer AIX48NSE main blocks.


Very sexy, too bad you didn't do the same for the Maximus/Rampage Formula but that's market for ya !

If here can have this model we can got...will get one to check.


ahh.. my bad.. what the heck is that? Vincent needs to put some shiny compression fittings on them to make them stand out.. :)


Sure..And the Black Sparkle series will be more attractive, right.



So will this also fit the rampage formula? The only difference between the 2 boards is ddr2/ddr3 correct?

For Black Freezer MOS AMOSI can fit...but for AIX48NSE need to get that and check it.


YEAH PLZ PLZ Rampage Formula Blocks PLZ !

For Black Freezer MOS AMOSI can fit...but for AIX48NSE need to get that and check it.

Yea, basically, please get this to the retailers as soon as possible, along with your rotaries...
Can we get any pictures of those blocks with their tops off? :ROTF:

EDIT: Those are all copper, right?

We try our best to ship all the new rotary model in this week..

and for Black Freezer AIX48NSE will be shipped out before the end of Oct.

Sure...All of our Black Freezer now are all Copper.


I also hope to be all copper and i aslo hope to find the NB/SB combo somewhere to buy in Europe? Is the block near the memory really necessary?

All of them are all copper...the Black Freezer AM48 will come with the main blcok.

Man, i really hope you guys will hurry up with this block.

I now have the Swiftech block replacing the stock fusion but there's hardly any improvement even though i've put some nylon washers onto the screws that hold the heatpipe assembly.

Does this block come as a set i.e. nb-sb block+mosfet blocks+ that 3rd small block?

Honestly, i don't really want to watercool the mosfets, i just want that NB temp to be tamed. ;)

AIX48NSE will have MOS AM48 (3th small block)included and Packaged in the same box.

Wich supplier in the Netherlands do u guys have that can sell your blocks?
Reason i ask is that my supplier says he cant get that specific block yet (maybe take 2 months he said)

So i was wondering where i could get it.

I'm doing that myself and it works great. The chipsets and mosfets isn't generating tremendous amount of heat and having low temps have no real effect on overclocking.

Vincent, make a limited number, and start on the X58 NOW.

Your kinda late with the X58 board coming out the end of this month to start of next month. :\

This is why i was kinda rushing you guys. In 3 months these blocks will become usless becuase the guys who would use stuff like this all migrated to neha, aka i7.

Hope if it is limited production, it is a big production run to keep block available to us who do not migrate quickly.

I am also waiting for one for the Maximus Extreme. Would be so much handier then to have to route hoses in between video cards.

Current maybe stop to have plan on ASUS 780i CHIPSET..
Current our stock schedule was delay..on 780i reference and X48...

Our production was slow and material delay...need have some stock on 790i blocks and then go for 780i...

After 780i, X48 will be the next..there are blocks for Rampage Extreme and Rampage Formula.

Sorry that our production was so slow..next year will be fast...

Are we to read this as you are not yet started on the 780i but soon will be, then work will begin on the Rampage Extreme?

Hope all goes well with 780i production as I expect to use your Rampage Extreme blocks as a solution to cooling my MB before it retires.

One more question Vincent; is this block also cooling the NB pwm's, the 3 coils and the Fujitsu ML cap that are on the left side of the NB?

The stock heatpipe does so i assume this block does also?

Personally i don't think it's a good idea to include the small block for the top right part of the board, i don't think there is any reason to change the stock heatsink other than eyecandy.

I'm afraid including this block will raise the price that is already.. hmmm well how should i put that?....not really cheap. :D

There is a thread on the Intel part of the board discussing the RE board. You can also use a different block for the NB.

The fusion waterblock is standard and seated with screws. Theres a replacement from Swiftech, the NB-MAX which replaces the Fusion. Found here:

skinnee
12-02-2008, 03:55 PM
OK, I'll play the dullard. What the rumor/problem, and which mosfet block/board exactly:rolleyes:

andyc

basically, the problem is with the restriction...pressure drop is off the scale.

All of the mosfet blocks for the current revision (Non X58) all share the same inlet/outlet design. The inlets/outlets go from 11mm ID down to roughly 5mm (I don't have the exact measurements in front of me, I'm at work still), and this just kills flow and causes significant pressure drop, I had a leak through a worm drive clamp while doing pressure drop tests.

I will not be able to provide pressure drop results up to the standard 4.5GPM on these blocks because the blocks just can't handle the flow rate or the pressure build up at the inlet, and the amount of restriction in these blocks is alarming to me.

My personal recommendation, do not run the current revision BP mosfet blocks in your CPU loop. Add them to your GPU loop or dedicated chipset loop, keep them out of a loop where pressure and flow are needed.

edit:

As for what started all this, I did not violate any forum rules in telling 2low4u about his sig, I also didn't attack him. It was nothing more than a friendly notice. Links to non XS sites are against the rules unless approved by an admin, plain and simple.

What sig. ;) Anyways... this thread is starting to get annoying. It seems that in the absence of the block form Vincent, we just turn on each other instead.

basically, the problem is with the restriction...pressure drop is off the scale.

All of the mosfet blocks for the current revision (Non X58) all share the same inlet/outlet design. The inlets/outlets go from 11mm ID down to roughly 5mm (I don't have the exact measurements in front of me, I'm at work still), and this just kills flow and causes significant pressure drop, I had a leak through a worm drive clamp while doing pressure drop tests.

I will not be able to provide pressure drop results up to the standard 4.5GPM on these blocks because the blocks just can't handle the flow rate or the pressure build up at the inlet, and the amount of restriction in these blocks is alarming to me.

My personal recommendation, do not run the current revision BP mosfet blocks in your CPU loop. Add them to your GPU loop or dedicated chipset loop, keep them out of a loop where pressure and flow are needed.

From the beginning of our blocks, the design was compact design style like the N+S blocks...

Current we will have POM version ready from our MOS blocks on X58 series..But the N+S still be Brass+C1100 material..


This week we can ship blocks for 780i series and next week will be AIX48NSF..

AIX48NXE-RAMPAGE EXTREME...this will be the third one.

One week will have one new block be ready to ship out...

Wonderful news, thank you Vincent. :up:

I'm wondering if it would make sense to split the loop for the NB/SB block, considering the high pressure drop.


/ NB/SB block \
- pump - rad -< >- res -
\ GTZ /

GTZ would be getting most of the flow, question is if that would hurt the NB/SB blocks performance too much. :shrug:

Lower flow will have better performance..no need hi-flow on our N+S blocks...

Then I guess I'll be trying this when all parts are in. Does anyone know of a Y-splitter with a bore comparable to Bitspower 1/2" fittings? All I found are made of Nylon with smaller bore. (if it matters anyway) :shrug:

vincent... im cringing at this statement..

Say, our block was designed for low flow systems. And not mention performance.. :\

Basic rule in physics states, more flow = more passes in the same amount of time = better performance = lower delta...

:cool:

been covered so many times dude..

You cant paralell unless you can regulate flow, and you most definitely cant paralell using different blocks, unless you have flow meters and valves to control your flow.

and natural tendancy of water in a paralell is to go down the least restrictive route. So if one of your blocks is less restrictive, you starve the other one.

Hi Naekuh,

Our current available blocks was designed for low-flow systems based on the mainboard design limitation.....What I called "performance" was been approval from our test result...2~3 degree difference compare to hi-flow systems...

please don't misunderstand my words.....:)

If the design can be hi-flow..we will go that way, but now..hard to reach that..for N+S blocks...

vincent funny question...

why did you guys add rotary's to the y's?

If you think about it, the Y would never need to be rotated or you'd get a cork screw going on with tubing..

oh wait... that might be sexy if it was in dual colors... :rofl:

Hi Naekuh,

If use compression fittings...rotary type would be better to prevent tube be twisted..

Normal fittings would be find...We just add one more choice on the application..

Dual colors??...

I will show this can come out more rotary models in next week in a new thread.:)

its going to be in a dedicated loop with PA120.2 & MCP355-XSPC top-res :)
