Like I said, its the equal of the bowed and nozzled FuZion and a tad better than an Apogee GTX. Its supposed to be much better than everything out there.Quote:

Now that still puts it right in the top of everything out there and could potentially be a better option for some since it is an all in one that doesn't require any further modification.
It's definitely worth the money, hell I paid 46 euros for it, whereas the FuZion is more in the range of 60+ euros... quick decision if you ask me ;)
Haven't installed it yet... but will tonight, as I said I'll keep you posted ;)
Hmm so far 52c stressed quad load Prime95 25.5... all 4 cores :D
sorry no screenshots you'll have to take my word for it, it's 2c hotter in my room than with the nexxxos xp so not much improvement there, maybe the paste hasn't settled in yet
Pretty toasty though, 4 cores 52c @ only 1.33v...
PS this is with a 8800GTS in the loop and a PA120.3, DDC 18W, 6 fans push/pull 1220 rpm and a totally open case
(pump-->8800GTS-->EK SUPREME-->PA120.3-->RES-->pump etc...)
I will be getting one soon enough and will have a QX6700 @ 3.4 and we all know how hot 6700s run, as well as a 8800GTS and 680I NB block in the loop.
I am eager to see what I get for temps.
Will post results when I get the block, though will not be for a little while.
Remember, this is the middle performance plate too - so more to come by the seems of things.
Mmmmh,
I just heard someone say that the block won't fit on the Gigabyte P35-DS4 rev. 1.0 board, because the mosfet cooler is in the way (about 2-3mm).
I should be receiving my block tomorrow (if all goes well).
As I have the P35-DQ6, which has the same mosfet cooling, I'm interested to see if this is true.
Eddy,
I've bought your block, but I want to hard mount using the Swiftech GTX backplate. I'm not sure what thread size I need for the GTX backplate but I can find that out elsewhere but what length of screw should I be looking at for the hard mount?
RLM, you hard mounted IIRC, maybe you can answer these questions? Thanks guys.
The GTX back plate uses M3 sized threading while EK provides M4 bolts, nuts and washers, if I'm not mistaken.
I dont think so.Quote:

Thx Eddy, much appreciated.
Eddy does it matter how you mount the block?
I have it like in the P35 DQ6 example... or doesn't it matter :?
Garrett,
Just try it out and see. Will be interesting to see if you do get a difference.
For the Supreme I used a thermaltake back plate. Sorry that doesn't help you much.Quote:

I would guess you'll get a little better performance if you line up the slot nozzle with the core orientation. Just like the Artic Silver thin line notes recommend.Quote:

After looking at Eddy's pics, I thought I would have another go at mounting the Vertical mount.
Managed to squeeze it in, but it does push up on the top heatsink, so the heatsink doesn't sit flush. A few small cuts to that heatsink and it would fit fine.
Results however weren't as good at load. Where as the horizontal mount averaged out at 55 55 50 49 during the 15 minute run, with vertical they averaged at 58 58 51 51.
Tests here at 425x9 1.51v Ambient same as previous tests.

HHMmm......I'm looking at this one myself. I have my loop parts arriving tomorrow for my 2900xts, and I may end up running a seperate loop for my CPU. I haven't decided yet. I may end up testing with them on one, then upgrading if need be.
So is everyone satisfied with this one? Is this going to knock the Fuzion from 1st place?
Hi!
It is very likely that the turning the block for 90° would make a difference.
If you know how the cores are oriented you should turn the block that the channel section covers direct area vver the cores.
See very raw image:
Well my results above are to the contrary. On a quad that would be a vertical mount, and a horizontal mount is yielding better results. Have to wait and see other's results I guess.Quote:

Just wonder if having the top heatsink pushed off the board is affects my temps?
RLM
What's the dimensions of the microchannelled area Eddy?
Anyone else with this block, got any results to post yet?
RLM
I should have one coming fairly shortly
I'd be ordering one very soon, but Petra said 2-4 weeks before he gets any in stock, and I don't want to wait that long before I place my order :(
Eller
I got mine yesterday afternoon.
Didn't have the time yet to install it.
I hope to post some results by tomorrow evening or saturday.
So where can we buy this in the States?
Yep I was gonna ask where to buy this block as well in the states :)
That's just a guesstimate... though, considering that it has been a week and I don't have confirmation of shipment yet, it may turn out to be an accurate guesstimate.Quote:
