I had a look @ their solution for the 4870x2 and, to my taste, that's one sexy block...
And the price is in the same bracket as the Razor...
However, it doesn't have stand-offs, inlet-outlet are rather close (might cause problems with certain fittings, which IMHO has no excuse given that these cards are as long as it gets) and once I close the case I don't see a sausage (no windows, yes acoustic foam FTW! :P ) so is yet another no-no for me... Function > Form...
Nukeah will love this
[translation]
The GPU-X ² Triple-Link enables an optimal combination of three cards in SLI or CrossFire systems. The Triple-Link is technically optimized flow and gives the composite video adapter additional stability through the parallel inflow of graphics cards, the low flow resistance. Besides the ease of installation is identical on all cards Kühlmediumtemperatur another advantage over serially flows through systems.
The GPU-X ² Triple-Link has 4 threaded for maximum flexibility during installation, the threads are not needed with the included locking screws sealed.

Parallel FTW!!!
identical Kühlmediumtemperatur on all cards - means that the water temperature is identical on all cards, because it is reching them parallel.
no, its not. The rules of fluid dynamics say it cannot.Quote:

"technically optimized flow" "parallel inflow of graphics cards, the low flow resistance"
Oh dear god this is going to be lolz, I wonder if its parallel flow also allows it to go below ambient!
Looks cool though...
Transformers, robots in disguise!
Id say thats exactly what theyve done... not hard but nice to have it engineered into a product.Quote:

in my opinion a parallel setup for multigpu setups has more advantages thn disadvantages: more flow for cpu blocks (if they share the loop), if they're on their own loop you can still use normal sli connectors instead of the link-part afaik;)
That is a really good looking block in my opinion, sounds like it works pretty well also.
Fyi
i just saw the internals.....:eek:
that is sweeeeet :up:
Or you could check out my post #5 in this thread... ;)Quote:

This way it is much easier to install, much cleaner look and a higher overall flow rate.

hey i like your idea of placing that tube :up: :up:
In high restriction blocks like these there may be enough pressure built up on the inlet side to ensure that they are all getting approximately equal flow. On low restriction blocks you would most definitely not want parallel for optimum temp uniformity.
how are the temperatures with your setup? they look good by the way :up:Quote:

@iandh: Sure thing, yes. But those blocks would need high flow anyhow to reach optimum performance. These blocks here, with their higher restriction, work really well when "parallelized" :D
@hondacity: It's an older setup of mine, yet temperatures were really good. Those are two 8800 GTS which ran at 800MHz core and the blocks were just laughing at them temperature-wise. The delta between water and GPU was 10K roughly under load.
i was asking the temp difference between the two gpu..because they were in parallel...do you recall any difference?
Oh ok. They were both within a +/- 1K range. As close together as possible.
so the parallel connection indeed works...
thanks for that info
Hi Guys!
I just bought their CPU-Block an gave it away to be nickel plated.
That is the yummy result :eek:
