Hmm... hopefully a US site will stock it--not looking to get overseas shipping/import fees.

Pre-orders at TilaTech.com

http://www.tilatech.com/ekevx58clplf.html - Plexi
http://www.tilatech.com/ekevx58clacc.html - Acetal

Looks like it will be 2-3 weeks though, but I will gladly wait for this instead of the Bitspower block ;)

Don't worry, FrozenCPU will almost certainly have it as soon as they can get it, and PPC's may get it too, but they'd mark it up a wee bit... Given that Sidewinder didn't grab the EK blocks for the last EVGA board, I somewhat doubt that Gary will stock this, but I still wouldn't rule it out.....

Hi!

The blocks should go out on tuedsay towards our resellers - it will take 7-10 days to ge to all US resellers. Very few pieces will be available in our online store.

So are you taking pre-orders now then?

Isn't that like guaranteed money for them because you pay upfront for something to be sent later?
06-06-2009, 06:11 PM
Eddy_EK

Because we dont want preorder something, before it is 100% guarattied when we can ship them.
I hope you understand and agree with me :)

Looks like a HUGE difference. Full block as in Vregs too not just NB,SB,Nf200 :up:

I do understand where you are coming from and this is good practice, but what I am thinking about is why you do not have a process in place where you can take a pre-order deposit for an item (maybe 30% of the price or something) and that way you (1) get a pretty much guaranteed sale and (2) know exactly how many items you will need to make available at minimum in order to fulfill all pre-orders...

Just my $0.02 I guess...

This is not a "full-cover" block like the EK one. This one still requires a separate MOSFET block. What makes the EK really stand out is that it is a single block for the whole motherboard i.e., MOSFET and Chipset in one. Requires two less fittings and way cleaner install :D

Yap, old news and not exact information... full cover = everything cooled by one single block (consists of 3 parts though), not vreg and chipset seperately...^^ like pika already said.

I took it that that is a pic of the old block and that there were no images of the "soon to be released" block. That is the same pic/link I saw a few weeks ago when I first started looking at blocks for the classified.

I was debating wether to get the rampage II or the classified. This block has made my decision easier I am so getting the classified now. What can i say, its a beautiful block! :shocked::shocked::shocked:

Don't care for how the O-ring and bolts look on a clear top, but some like it. Hopefully you can get black for all but the bridge and have that in clear or red acrylic.

Somewhere in the pages that makeup this thread I think Eddy said that they won't be offering or selling many directly, so you might have to find a reseller that's stocking it.

Maybe that was just regarding preorders though...

The way i understand was that it would go out this thuesday to retailers and a very few pieces to the webstore, but i might missintepered it all.
Only site in europe i have found by quickbrowsing that list them only say june and to me that is not precise enougt as this is the last piece to get my Classy 759 up and running and i prefer to get them from EK directly as it has proven to be fast and best way for me sofar.
This lead me to belive he just want to make a few more units until it hit the webstore but i might read to mutch in to it.

Thanks !

Wow, that is like $162us for the acetal version. Went ahead and ordered as well. Wonder if the prices at resellers will be the same and he's charging more at his own site. Bought 2 or 3 other times through Eddy directly and prices actually came out to be the same as I woulda payed at Sidewinder or PPCs. Oh well, I won't even sweat it if come monday morning all the usual places have em for less.

edit: nevermind. Eddy is selling at stated price he already gave of $150ish for the plexi and unstated for the acetal.

I have a question, on the page at ek, where it says:

"Enclosed: Extra RED Acrylic transparent top Level 2. Like on picture. "

Does this mean that there is a clear acrylic top in addition to an EXTRA red one?

I am taking it to mean if you buy the acrylic version, it will come as all clear acrylic built up, but also have the red one if you want to change it out (as pictured). Same for the acetal...will be all black acetal with a red acrylic bridge as a change out option.

That's what I am thinking also but I want to be sure because I don't want to use the red one for color theme reasons in my current build. Thx for input. :)

Glad that this is finally happening. Ordered one Acetal version through Tilatech for $149.95 US. That'll save me the hassle of shipping from Europe.

Wow, cant wait to get my own thats on teh way.
Is that 2x3mm hole or 2x5mm for optional(requierd) LED:s on the red bridge?
Also what would be the best waterflowdirection regarding the temp in that in a dedicated loop? NB first or PWM:s or just shortest tubing way?
06-16-2009, 11:02 AM
3Z3VH

Shortest tubing way. The NB and SB don't generate enough heat to really affect the temp of the water in a noticeable way.

Thanks, but that means i gonna heat up the NB with the PWM:s as PWM are closer to the rad:s outlet in top of case.
06-16-2009, 11:26 AM
pinto

The 2 holes in the red top are 2X4mm.

The water direction isn't important, i plug the block after my 920@4.5ghz and i gain more than 30°c on the nb and vreg 72°c => 40°c. The water temp didn't raise by ading the block => between 23°c to 27°c.

You're assuming that there will be a significant increase in temperature on the components near the output, which brings up the debate as to whether component order matters.

Personally, I've been led to believe that in a closed loop system, it all reaches equilibrium and won't matter, but I don't want to start that debate.

Oh dam, i think they screwed me over with shipping. Asked them about 40 times i need it shipped usps and they assured me they would cause i'm canadian and it looks like they still sent it ups. Regretting i didn't go with eddy's shop. Also he charged $10 extra there for pre-order and you'd think since the price wasn't set they would automatically refund.

It depends if it is like the Supreme that for me has lowest temp when mounted in that direction on my soon to be retierd REII.

What etailers are going to be getting these? I'm really tempted to upgrade from my standard x58 as it refuses to let me get anywhere past 4.2ghz.
