Watercoolant temps @ 30-31C under heavy usage

My VRMS are fine. :D

Those are very impressive temps, that DD block seems like a great option.

You're using 1 2x120 Radiator to cool your CPU as well as the 4870X2?

Would there be any clearance issues using Bitspower Premium G1/4" High Flow 1/2" Compression Fittings with the 4870X2 EK blocks (e.g., the fittings rubbing up against the board itself)?

Thanks.

BP 1/2" ID 3/4" OD dont fit! :( They hit up against the card!

Well that sucks. :mad: I guess one solution it to use Bitspower rotary fittings. Back to the drawing board.

Just grab some G1/4 extenders. I think BP makes some? If not, then koolance definately do, i have some.

I like it. Has anyone used Feser rotary compression (G1/4 Thread) fittings? They don't look as nice as BP fittings but I imagine they'd work and you wouldn't need an extender.

I've got some coming today, I thought they'd be handy to have around even if i don't use them in my rebuild.

I see the 1/2 comps won't fit (as standard) what about 3/8"?

Awsome pics :up: guys.
That block seems to be one of the best for 4870x2.

Yeah I reckon. Thats all on a MCR320 with High Speed Yates but thats what fan controllers are for right! I have to do more testing of the temps of the water in my loop compared to ambient to see how much heat is dumped when fully loaded.
