wow, that looks sweet,...nice!

purdy.... do want

dam man, looks sexy. i have to ask, whats max oc?

Looks sweet man!
BTW, could we get some pics of your system? :D

Nice indeed... btw is that an Enzotech SB heatsink there? ;)

That is really nice looking.

So are these new EK blocks with the counter sunk screws single slot blocks now?

Yes, they are single slot now :) I bet EK will continue in this vein for future blocks.

As I said on NCIX, this block looks great and it almost gave me the desire to toss my 8800GTS with a EK FC8800 block to get this one :rofl:

Still working on the max OC....

Yup thats the Enzotech SB low profile with the fan.
There is Enzotech NB heatsink on the SB in the first pics, but it would not fit, so had to put the low profile one on.

Yup this block is single slot.

More pics of my system...sure...
These are a little old with my 8800GTS 640 and have replaced the MCR220 with a PA.160 rad for my second loop and added another raptor 150 X for RAID 0 :)

did your 3870x2 bow as mine really wanted to and think it might be a design flaw...... take a look at these and let me know if you experienced the same thing.

THIS IS WITH THE CARD STRAIGHT. The minute I fully tightened the screw, the card will bend 2cm. I also found four or five other screws that can cause major bending.

On a side note the loop runs well and cards appear to have drops close to 15c over stock cooling.
