Sweet! :up: Can't wait to pick mine up. What shops would carry this right away, ppc's, frozen, etc? This may have been answered before but would the Black Freezer N79NS fit on an Evga 790i FTW board? I'm fairly certain that part of the board layout is exactly the same vs standard 790i, but here's a picture of my naked 790i FTW which should help -

We getting close enough to release for some topless shots? :D

*edit* sorry everyone, seems imageshack is down. hopefully they will be back up soon?

All of them will be in stock almost at the same time.

If the hole for North and south bridage all the same with before, it can fit no problem.

I think for topless, there is one phone ever be showed here in XS...
But now ours it's new ...and top will be another special one..not only topless..

@ = Vincent !!

any chance you are going to make the combined sb/nb block to fit the Asus Rampage Formula ?
i am waiting to see if You are going to do those blocks as they would also fit some of the other Asus MoBo's that are setup for the ATI CrossFire also & if not then i need to go another direction

they (ATI ) are selling a boatload of the new ATI 48XX cards ,soo it would seem to me that you would sell alot of those blocks to those of us who have that setup

a simple yes or no would be REALLY helpful

You have some nice stuff keep up the good work

Thanx in advance

Spring-Mount will be a option mounting selection for extra parts pack.

Blocks will be shipped out from next week...due to this week too many works for recall action...

Here are list for all the current blocks available,

Black Freezer N79NS
Black Freezer A790NS(For Stricker II Extreme only)

Black Freezer MOS N79AP1
Black Freezer MOS N79AP2
Black Freezer MOS AMOSI (Universal ASUS MOSFET Blcoks-depend on M/B)

Ok first, Vince Im glad you finally answered us :)
Now, good to hear the blocks will be ready

However, I have a question about the universal ASUS mosfet block, is it one-piece mosfet block ( L-shaped for both rows) or will I have to buy two blocks for the two rows of mosfets?

He won't answer that question, he never does.

When he does reply it's vague.

I wish he would bring these blocks to market, but right now they're looking like vaporware (market research).

Did you guys ever stop to think that with the rotary mess that the schedule got a tad screwed up? GEEZ, freakin' crack addicts. :rolleyes::shakes:

Vincent, might I suggest that you no longer give ETA's on the products to save yourself some of this unnecessary harassment.

Oh come on Waterlogged. You know how obsessive some people here get when it comes to watercooling. :P The guy is probably holding off his entire build waiting for those parts. Little frustration is understandable :)

vincent i hate to bother you with this question,

but its been almost a month and no supply in the US.

Can you be frank with us, whats going on? And when will the US expect to have these in stock?

My project is held 1 month waiting for the 780i blocks, and honestly, its taking too long that i just went the DD route as a temp.

But we need an approx ETA. Cuz the guys in US have been waiting a very long time. :[

Im dayam patient, but the lag on these parts in the US is almost on par as OCZ promising hydro-z. :X

Vincent i dont want to sound mean or rude, i just desperately need that block.
And at this point, im even calculating if a custom builder could make me my old design faster.

Well thats not the only thing. As i said, i decided not to have my block fabricated because BP was coming out with them. I thought i could just wait and ride it out.

However.... Look at the creation date, and then the last post. We been waiting a very long time. :P

Once again vincent i dont mean any rudeness, im just trying to meet deadlines.

Yes I do, because I'm the same way. you don't see me harassing anyone because I understand the manufacturing end of the business and know that things don't happen over night. Badgering someone for something isn't going to make it appear any faster. Patience Grasshoppers....patience.

Im glad and happy I didnt have all my wc parts ready one month ago because I would be using something else by now, couldnt have waited 1 month for just a single part.
Im also waiting for another BP part which is sold everywhere in here, and hopefully are coming next week with the black freezers.

Seriously, I think ETAs should be given when the blocks are finally shipped from Taiwan, not before so this wont happen again.

I'm happy to wait for the rotaries to come back in stock, but I do get antsy every once in a while with all my rig on stock cooling on air. :(

I planned a lot of my build around those parts, so I'll just be patient and wait for them.

usually we tell them to avoid ETA's, or give them ample room like an entire month. :P

But there can be delays, and making a block for mass production isnt easy as pie.

But i think theres more up. Because its not just the freezer blocks, its almost 2/3rd of there entire line thats up MIA and OOS in the US.

Exactly
They have two components that I need (and when say this, I mean I NEED) in order for me to start building my water cooling setup and start my project.

I seriously need this before Oct.10 or else Im going nutz. I been trying to build this since last week of july!!! :shocked:

I prefer to badger reps via pm our email. Sometimes the actual CEO of the company responds directly to my inquiry.
Lately that has happenned several times. I find that very comforting knowing these guys are so busy but take the time to directly answer my inquiries.

Sorry for everyone stressed out about builds for family, friends, clients etc.. but please relax. All good things will come!!

Actually what ends up happening is the product everyone is waiting to water cool is obsolete before these custom blocks are available.

That can be an issue, though I've noticed that the layout of even the new X58 board is pretty similar. I'm hoping my EK blocks will still be useable if I ever decide to go for one of those.

Well NaeKuh, as I stated before, things get thrown off schedule when an unforeseen problem, such as the "broken" rotaries, arise. Fixing the problem instantly becomes your first priority and other things take a back seat. If I had a dollar for all the times I had to re-setup (after taking that setup off only a few days before) a machine to fix someone else's mistake, I'd have quite a bit of cash. Now, I know there is very little chance of these blocks being run on the same machines but, it's pretty much the same thing as your attention gets distracted from what your supposed to be doing to fixing what was already done. When you finally get back to what your supposed to be doing, you get a little gun shy and take a bit longer making sure everything is right the first time. Then things start to flow like they should again and guess what?.....another screwup. It's almost as predictable as Old Faithful. :ROTF:

From the list I have on my hand now..next week will have all the blocks out...

Sorry for the long delay...

We are all doing all the new projects and solving the issue of our rotary models...

I have rejected those products twice time..because the quality was not what I need.....but now all can be closed to...and we will improve step by step.

When our production flow was ready...all new products will come out under control...

Probably too early to ask this but, EVGA just put out the new 790 FTW digital board (132-YW-E180-A1) and I am wondering if the NB/SB block will fit it? Also it looks like only one mosfet bank on the 790 digital vs 2 on the other boards. Will your current mosfet block fit this board too?
10-01-2008, 06:15 PM

Vincent, it's good to hear your trying to juggle everything all at once to keep the schedule, prior experience has taught me it's not always the best way to handle it. Hope you don't have any more unfortunate set backs. :up:

Hi Vincent. Glad to see these blocks coming to market. Can you tell me if they will be available in Germany and, if so, where? The few places that carry bitspower stuff that I have found here have very little and no blocks or fittings at all.

I have learned it's never safe to say vaporware.

Vincent is quite the manufacturer, I think he will pull it off.

He does some things that I have thought of, some things I wished I had thought of, and some things I never would have thought of. I can't say I've ever had to say all of those things about a manufacturer before. He's A+ in my book. Just wish some prices would go down, or a few sponsorships would walk my way.

Amazing work you do. Keep it up.

I am very happy with the 790i, and yes the 790i loves the G.Skill I have in it. Even at 2x2GB I was able to get the RAM from 1600 to 1980 @ CAS7 and that was Linked and Synced...unfortunately, the Yorkie couldn't handle that with its FSB wall so thats where I stopped. I haven't gone back and tried unlinked to see how high it would go without the Yorkie holding it back.

What about the distribution of Bitspower's products in Europe ? Is there a plan to "invade" our watercooling retailers and if not, would it be possible to open at least an ebay shop ?

The only shop i know of is in the Netherlands (highflow.nl) and it's prices are awfull. For example :

BP-WTP-C01 is 3,99 euros there versus $2.79 at PPCs ... yes, i'm talking about prices like 95 % higher :eek:

Sorry for being a bit off topic, but this is a real PITA for us europeans.

The difference in these boards is the MOSFETS. The EK 790i MOSFET Blocks will NOT fit the 790i FTW / 790i FTW Digital PWM...:up:

The mofsets should work on the standard FTW just not the digital.

Oh, sure you can! But really, nobody wants to go the trouble of putting a loop together and then taking it right back down again. That's why I keep waiting for the 45's which now appear to be in. Hopefully PPCs will have them shortly at the same price as sidewinder (I got a credit there)

Mounting holes are the same. There are just some caps in the way on the 790i Ultra that arent there on the FTW. I took my calipers to the Ultra, FTW, and FTW Digital.

Well this is the last week I can wait. Need to order everything by the end of this week, so there's still some time. Vincent any word? I really want to use this block but I'm now planning on making ek sn/sb 5 and 6 blocks work instead. Please tell me they shipped out last week and will be available soon! :D

Hi first post here

Hello
Good information here. But I need more; I have an evga 790i ftw pwn, with 3 gtx 280's.

I have ordered an aqua-computer 790i N/S bridge water cool block. I have my whole rig under water cool, (including the psu). I am also ordered the aqua-comptuter 1 and 2 mosfets, which after further reciew will not fil my board.

What voltage regulator blocks will fit my 790i ftw pwm?Or do I have to make my own?

thanks in advance

As far as I can tell there are no mosfet waterblocks that will fit at the moment. Where are you located? If you are in Europe, try contacting mips as they are usually the first to come out with blocks of this type. They should at least be able to give you a realistic ETA. The most popular solution in the mean time seems to be using small heatsinks such as the ones from Swiftech and sticking them to the components. They seem to be adequate from the reports of people that use them.

Where are the dam blocks!
This is amazing. Next time I will make sure not to get excited about new BP products.

I actually prefer the look of the Innovatek block but I'll admit I'm a sucker for the bead blasted copper look and you don't see that too often. I didn't know they were releasing this block beforehand and it totally caught me off-guard (in a positive way) with their use of delrin and copper so this was a very pleasant surprise.

We've been waiting. For weeks. And weeks. Last I knew the blocks were done being manufacturered over two weeks ago. Should have shipped last week to retailers. Should have been able to buy this week. To top it off, Vincent hasn't appeared to have posted at the forum here since the 9th. If it wasn't for my upcoming lan party I would put it off a few more weeks. monday I'm placing my order for my final parts at ppc's and petras. Hopefully ppcs will have gotten soem of the blocks in, but if not, then I'll have to find a way to make the ek blocks work. So unless there's another shop you think will get these in before ppc's (if you do please tell! :D), I'm just going to have to settle. :(
