The block just finished its first overnight leak test with no incidents. Further testing must now be conducted as far as temps go.
Good news! I am sure the temps will be significantly lower than the stock heatsinks.
I certainly hope so. I still have testing to do which I hope to conduct on Thursday.
Any chance that this thing is going to be black in order to match the rest of the board :) ?
Let me say... just based on that statement...you will NOT be disappointed then... I am just dying to post these pictures!
Now we're talking, very nice job nateman :clap:
Oh lord its beautiful! Thanks for the pics.
My pleasure! now hopefully I can get some good test results
That looks great!
gentlemen... I would like to report absolute success...
I let the mobo idle for FIFTEEN minutes with NO WATER in the block...
once the NB and Vregs reached 40°C I pumped water through it, at a very slow rate.
Vregs were unwavering at 40°C.
Standards were a 65°F room, pumped 75°F water through the block.
NB temps were in the mid to lower 30's(C)
Sounds good ... can you tell other settings (CPU OC, Vcore, etc?)
Sounds great. What about load temps?
I was not able to check any load temps because this was just done in the bios for now. No hard drive was hooked up. However... I did OC the board to 4.2 GHz, and the bios temps were unchanged (with the exception of the cpu
Any new updates?
not really. Just waiting to see who really want's one now ;)
I'd like one if you're taking orders. Please PM me payment details when you are ready; thanks!
PM sent. anyone else?
lets see some pics of the final product mounted!
Say no more...

I managed to borrow a Heatkiller block to verify that it fits. The pictures do not do it any justice...:up:

hey nate make sure you polish the top with a clear coat of something.
Otherwise in a few months, oxidation will make that beauty look really bad.
that is beatiful, wish someone would make that for the Asus Rampage II GENE
Yeah I am surprised no one has made one for the Gene yet and it is the most selling Micro board out there? If you build it they will come with dollar signs $$$$$$ to give you... :yepp:Quote:

only mosfet + nb full + single block for SB
I dont really care about the SB. It does not effect overclocks haha, just the northbridge and mosfets
