NB and SB in one for sure! Looks cleaner and works better with bulky VGA cards
actually something just occurred to me.
Combined NB/SB is completely necessary. Without a fullcover NB/SB you can't run tri-sli, because the SB barbs will block your GPU's.
I vote for full cover. I need one for the P6T.:D
You would probably have to design and flow test it ina program like Solid Edge (CADD Program that includes flow and engineering modelling), then generate a .cam file using another software suit and have a pro "clean it up" for you. .cam creation software is not a fully compatible deal sometimes with certain machines.
After that you'd have to find a place that would take "one off" machine jobs on a CNC mill. Now that last part is gonna be hard to find. Most CNC places will not even talk to somebody unless it gets into the 10-50,000 dollar range. Yes, that is for real. There are some around, but they are extremely hard to find, and sometimes they will do it when they are not busy, other times they can't get to it becasue of volume orders.
Not sure where you live, but in the UK, 80% of companies will do a one off. it's called prototyping. It works out quite a bit more than if you decide to mass produce it of course (+10-20%), but every customer will want a one off so they can test their design, make alterations if necesary then say 'YES, we want this to go to full production'
Obviously, if you provide the stock material and CAD drawings that are compatible with the CNC the cost goes down even lower.
full cover for sure
defo both chipsets in one block!!!
when can i order???
Not impossible. :clap:

Sorry to do this to your thread eddie..
But bei fei and i pulled it off. :up:
My Completed board.

Now with a pair of blocks like that, I'd reconsider leaving my board on stock air cooling.

Isn't he the same guy who also made the heatsink for the Laing DDC pumps? This guy is good...and fast!
Hey Eddy, you're planning to make a full cover NB/SB block for the Rampage Extreme II and you just skip the Rampage Extreme socket 775?
Or are you planning to make one for the RE socket 775 also? ....Please.... :(
It will be a lot easier (and cleaner) to tube on a single block.
I like the idea of the mosfets done like that.
Forgot to ask this this waterblock allow full use of the pci express x4 slot (For Creative PCI Express Tititium Sound Card) next to the waterblock with tri sli
