EK-FC570 GTX SE - new waterblock for non-reference 570s (HD)

[tiborrr]

Just finished testing and evaluating new waterblock, the EK-FC570 GTX SE (Second Edition). It is build for nVidia's latest PCB SKU (most of the time reffered to EVGA 570 HD). I'm very pleased with results, both thermal and hydraulic. EK-FC570 GTX SE has water flow over all four GPU VRM phases which have a positive effect on the cooling performance - the hottest spot of the card (measured with IR thermometer) on the backside of the PCB measured at mere ~ 54°C, PCB directly behind the mosfets ~ 45°C.

The waterblock should be available for purchase in early August (cca. 10-14 days).

Can we get an internal shot?

Also, nice to see it.

Internals will be shown once the waterblocks go retail. Plexi top version will not hide anything! :up:
