Ah ok, so it's the shiny / glossy looking finish. I think I like the bead-blasted look better. Of course, I'll still need to see up close pics. of the clear anodized version to make sure. ;)Quote:

next thing you know the annodize will be changed to HA Nat and HA black for super, ultra, over the top, scratch resistant ramsinks lol. I can't wait to see some pictures of these in black though :)
Looks like my short time with these sinks will be over soon. I received a Danger Den Ione today, mostly because it will fit my planned modifications for my loop better than the Maze5 GPU block I am currently using.
But who knows what I will do with them in the future.
Iandh make an excellent product that filled my particular need at exactly the right time. Thanks again.
Wow, nice Job there. :up: .
That's really exciting to hear as I have a VF900cu and some MX-2 sitting here on my desk waiting for the heatsinks to arrive (hopefully soon).Quote:

You're getting a set of the rev. 2 sinks. As soon as I found out that I had the production run locked in for sure last weekend I figured it would be unfair to send the old model to any existing orders.Quote:

ok thanks for the update; silver is fine with me. (just sent you back a PM saying that too). =)
Just thought I'd let you east coasters know, Sidewinder computers will also be carrying the sink sets now and should have them in stock approximately the same time as Petra's.
Like Petra's, Sidewinder does ship international.
I can't really recommend one shop over the other because they both seem to be run by GREAT peoples. :up:
Awesome man!
Can we get some pics of the black sinks?
Once I see how the black ones turn out Ill decide for sure if I want to buy a set or not.
I have a newegg gift card with 50 some odd dollars on it, I'd trade for a set...
Finally installed my S1 Rev. 2 last night along with iandh's Unisinks v1:

Accelero S1 Installed

Really nice job there man!
The only thing I don't like about those s1's is that it blocks the sli connector.
Looks quite secksy tho.
I believe some companies sell flexible SLI bridges. I've seen ppl. running SLI w/ an Accelero on both cards.
Yeah I've seen those flexible connectors before, I guess it really depends on how far apart you pci-e slots are and how long the sli bridge is.Quote:

That's the card that I have, but I can't find anywhere if it's G92 or not on evga's site. . .
(apologies in advance if I'm a noob)
edit:thanks for the answer!
No, the 640GTS is a G80. Different layout than the 8800GT and 8800GTS 512.
Looking back I don't think it was a mounting issue. After the installation of the VF900 the temps did drop in various areas (idle, ATITOOL, games, etc.) and when I broke it down to re-seat the heatsink there was no real evidence of poor contact. I've come to the conclusion that the VF900 just doesn't handle heavy temp load (e.g., oZone3D fur test) extremely well.Quote:

If you're not running anything crazy though, as you mention above, you can always dial down the VF900 fan. Shoot me a PM when you get it all up and running. I'm curious what sort of results you achieve.
Im just wondering how much would it cost to get them made in copper and shipped to the Uk ? If you would ever be willing to do something like that as they are excellent.
love my new sinks i put them to use wit my zalman vf1000 and temps went from 60c to 40c and also the noise went away damn those stock fans
The sinks fit very nicely Ian. Thanks!
I also found that I have the newer Samsung ram. This stuff clocks on my card at 1200mhz with no artifacts (yes, you read that right, 1200mhz or 2400 cause it's ddr)!!!! It starts artifacting at 1215.
Yeah, some special edition copper ones sounds like an excellent idea. I'm sure many people would go for it.:clap:Quote:

I will consider doing a small run of copper, but just to warn you guys they probably will be in the range of $80 a set. It takes about 4x as long to machine copper and the material is much more expensive as well.
BTW I stopped by the machine shop today and they are on schedule for completion by tomorrow, it is in the hands of the plating shop after that.
