:wasntme: :yawn2:
So here I am still waiting for this block. Oh man... I wonder how much longer
Hey I feel for you. I couldn't wait either. I sent a personal message to Vincent. He replied back and I ordered the block andd mosfet on Monday. They will arrive here tommorow; UPS. Which is Wednesday. Express shipping was only 45 dollars.
That didn't take long at all.
I'm trying to find them on their site but not having any luck. Found the rotating barbs but that was it.
So how much was the block?
People are mad because "next week" is always "next week".Quote:

Well, $110 sounds a little (just a little) more reasonable than $150 for a block.
just heard maximus extreme is going first for asus boards, so we are talking of months before we will see a block for x38 chipset, evryone will have I7 boards then :s
So id there anywhere's we can choose for application or is it just an email in thing?
It was a good day for the mail.
I recieved Both the bitspower and the Aqua-Computer Coolers.
Take a look:

I am going to put the Bitspower in my rig. Becasue I have the mosfets that match the Aqua-computer cooler, they are for ASUS.
I have the EVGA 790i FTW PWM. Bitspower sent the mosfet for that.
The aqua cooler is bigger.
Very nice! The AC one is MUCH better looking IMHO

The BP is very refined and has a supernice black chrome finsh where the AC is oversized and blocks acces to the PCI-e release tabs.
:up:Powered through the build here are some shots:
First I must say that the AC looks cooler, however, when i tried to blow through each of the coolers (Bitspower ns vs Aqua-computer ns). The bitspower had a large noticible difference in the amount of air I could blow. Now I know that isn't very sceintific, but the difference was significant for me to tell that it was much easier to blow air through the Bitscooler; so I installed that one.

without the EVGA 709i PTW PWM factory cooler.

Started no problem 1st time. It is late night...more later...?
so rich
Do any of the retailers actually have these in stock yet? I just checked performance pcs, sidewinder computers, and petras and none of them have them. Is this still due out "next week"?
In other news I've got my system put together, although it's probably coming apart again in a couple more weeks so I can finish routing the wires and painting the case (and hopefully installing some new chipset blocks if they ever make it to a retailer). Also need to reposition the GTZ as I installed it on its side since I didn't read the instructions prior to clamping it on there.
Do we have any internal shots or can anyone say how the internals of this block are? I've asked a few times, Vincent maybe you can chime in and answer this please.
:rofl: Aint it always ?Quote:
