GTX 560 Waterblock

That block is very sexy, way to go EK :)
Can't wait for in to be in the USA so I can get 2 for my new Mountain Mod build.

That was during 1h+ furmark run.

Sorry to bump this thread, but any feedback at all on how the water block performed in comparison to the stock cooling with regards to the VRM temperatures?

Or did you not perform any testing of the VRMs when using the stock cooler?

Thanks,

Odai.

Sorry Odai, way to much waterblocs on the testing table. Also there is no option of software temperature measurement of the VRM compartment, one can only measure the temperaute using the IR thermometer.

Ah, that's a shame. Thanks for getting back to me anyway though. :)

Based on past products though (seems both the 260 and 460 blocks used the same passive cooling on the VRMs), do you reckon the temperatures will at least be as good, if not better, on the VRMs compared to the stock cooling?

Sure, the temperatures of the VRM compartment are good since it's the copper monoblock therefore there is not much thermal resistance.
