Awesome!! Cant wait for the results.
Oh, and Hello All, I'm now finally a part of this great forum :)
This thread is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! I typically go with EK for my cooling needs, but after you post the results we shall see. Awesome thread!!! :clap:
I got tired waiting for this comparison to happened. Just got 2 EK blocks for my 480's... Its been like month and a half so far. And i am not sure how long i had to wait to see it actually. I respect Skinnee efforts to present us with good review. But i think its taking too much time. Its 8 blocks after all.
I got my self 2 Koolance for 480's they are doing very good.
I don't see how one could go wrong with an EK product, they do have one of the best CPU water blocks on the market, the EK Supreme HF! I mean really do you think even if Danger Den's block is even 6C cooler than an EK block that it will make much difference in the life of your product, of course not! Unless your an extreme type of person that wants every last MHz they can get out of Fermi, then by all means wait. The price difference when buying two or three DD blocks is substantially a lot more dough!Quote:

@Systemlord: Well i got them for 70&90$ so i cant say i feel sorry. But for sure wanted to see how they perform before i buy them compare with most of the competition. I am pretty happy with them. But still i hold my purchase as long as i could just because of waiting for Skinnee. Anyway i will for sure check his review anyway.
@ForceFed_B16A : Thats how i roll... No patience and discipline.
I wasn't waiting for Skinnee, and these won't be the last blocks I buy so no worries for me, 4 x Aquagrafx on the 470's and an EK on the 480 :D
Hey, Eddy, are you getting nervous? :D
Not saying I'm not deeply interested and hanging out for the review of course :D
I am still waiting on the review before my purchase, however I am NOT complaining about the time. I am just thrilled someone is doing it.Quote:

Thanks again. :up:
Skinnee is doing this for free, out of his own time, money and effort. I think we should keep these facts in mind. He doesn't owe us or the community any thing. He also didn't promise a time frame.
I suggest we back off and stop bugging him. It comes when it comes.

I'd suggest you taking off that picture as it can be seen as offensive and racial stereotyping.Quote:

Totally agree with whats been said. The fact we have someone as skilled as Skinnee exclusive to this incredible forum, taking the hard work out of deciding exactly what hardware to invest in, to me personally is worth its weight in gold.
I upgrade to the latest GPUs from nvidia whenever they are released, and always end up watercooling them with ful cover blocks, everytime I upgrade I have a pair of them aircooled for atleast a month or two. This gives me a chance to break them in, monitor stock temps, see how they behave to overclocking etc and if faults occur I can RMA. It also reminds you of how primitive air cooling is and really makes you appreciate water cooling when you finally do get your blocks on.
Going on the fact I had my GTX 285 2GB SLi watercooled for a year and a half im expecting the same service span out of GTX 480 SLi,
So for me waiting a couple weeks more on air to be told what the leading superior block is, exactly how to mount it (hd video and with TIM or pads) is quite frankly a privilege. Hard to find the words to describe what im trying to get across but I really am grateful someone is doing full blown research on this subject. I want the best for my Fermis and anyone being as patient and waiting for results before they part with their hard earned wages has that garunteed. And know you've made a wise well researched investment.
We love you Skinnee !! :clap:
+1, QFT! Take your time Skinnee. :up:Quote:

I'm the same opinion: It's done, when it's done!

Skinnee, if you setup a PayPal account for donations, I'm sure many of us here are willing to help finance these tests. :D
