Agreed.

Are you saying that not a single person is going to buy 6990 from now on? :rolleyes:

RacingTurtle: and each and every customer bought cards and EK blocks right away and will never buy swiftech ones? Too late? Yeah, right. :)

eek, Zalbard got first :D

No worries, he's just envious because ours looks so much nicer :D

gabe: speaking about looks, imho you really should start thinking about making bridges. As interim pre-step, you should start design in for all future swiftech gpu full cover blocks inlets placed at same distance from each other and alike, to ease developing such SLI/CF waterbridges and drop need to have some block specific adapters/links to that bridge.
(and it would be nice to have inlets placed at same place/distance for both dual gpu-s & single gpu-s of same generation, to allow tri-sli/tri-cf of one dual and one single gpu cards)
BTW, like :up: idea of glossy sticker surface. PCB or backplate of other card mirroring in it imho should result in very nice touch.

Think about it guys, its not that hard. Cmon, people will buy whats available first up.

Tri CF.. you mean something like this, right ?

http://www.swiftech.com/images/produ...990/tri-cf.png

So, Epsilon HD6990 and Komodo HD6900 do work (only in serial config) in TRIPLE-CROSSFIRE. Granted there is a small offset (exactly 4mm), but it isn't an issue with vynil tubing. Ideally we'd want both inlet/outlet aligned so that ppl can also do parallel. If there is strong demand, I wouldn't be against making a revised Komodo 6900 that way. I'll start another thread to make a poll so you guys can let me know.

I was excited to do benchies in this config, unfortunately I realized that my bench PSU doesn't have three 4-pin connectors. Oh well, I'll have to get another PSU next week.

Todays the day !!!!! I'm ordering one as soon as it's available, ... which when will that be?

i like the idea of those stand-off provided

I'd love a picture of the inside of this block :)

Thread cleaned....resume business as usual with discussion about the Komodo 6900-V2 and Epsilon 6990 :)
