The chipset cooler for motherboards with 790i chipset cools both North and South Bridge on the motherboards by reference design. The soil is cooler from a massive copper block manufactured and has a stainless steel lid and a port terminal plexiglass. The water overflows inside the cooler to cool the two chips on the motherboard, thereby ensuring optimum heat dissipation. Similarly, the cooler in the development of a low flow resistance optimized.

sounds like this is for reference boards only, probably too short on SIIE
(hope this is not a repost)

Looks very nice, aslo looks like no confilicts for SLI/ Tri SLI.

you could always order directly from AC. Don't they ship to individual customers in the US ?

edit: yeah I just checked on their site: sounds like you got to ask about the conditions if you want them to ship anything out of the EU...so no automatic checkout for the US...

Im very surprised more block manufactures dont do this. Most boards have a 1 inch path going from the SB to NB that is free of components sticking up since they usually have their own flat metal heat sink connecting the 2.

Yeah AC needs a better US distributor, dunno why they don't look at Petra or PPCS for example. I have dealt with both of these companies and had great experiences. AC has some great looking stuff but dealing with a company on the other side of the pond (I'm in the US) is difficult and I don't want to worry about shipping something to the other side of the plannet if I have an issue. I'd jump on alot of AC and ANF stuff if it was easier to get here in the states.

Makes me wish I had a mill, there's little to designing a monolith block besides plotting where the resistors/such are... However, there's lots of resistance for some reason to changing block designs. This is a step in the right direction. A big one.

That block is hawtness.

Can't buy a mill, getting a K9ND-Speedster and dual Opties. My wife wants an upgrade, so she's getting CrossFireX.

I'm not concerned 'cause I live in the EU, but just to avoid that some users could be mislead by R3's joke (was that supposed to be funny ?),

Sharka Computers is absolutely alive

edit: sounds like R3 was not completely wrong: Sharka must have been down during a few days

That wasn't there the last couple of days, it was a place holder for Go Daddy IIRC.

Oh OK, I didn't know that...

Damn that is really nice. Getting AC products in the US has always been expensive and time consuming. If they want a US market they really need to help out their US suppliers. I think Sharka gets it from a source other than AC directly, therefore slowing the process down even more. Get AC products on Jab-Tech and fast if AC wants to sell some in the US.

Can someone contact AC to make this for the 780i????

Or, can't eddy make this kind of warez?? Full copper with plexi or delrin cover? :p:d would be cool

NB/SB Supreme!

That block is teh sex right threre! :eek:
