previous weight was for non-watered block, with water in in, full weight is 1.55 kg
I tested vertical position, it shouldn't be much of a problem, there were no noticable tension on socket or any kind af bennding
although when transporting, it would be wise to arrange some support.

Those look great...would love to see a crossfire set on MY desk...:lol2:
Wanna see temps :D
temps are great, have in parallel mode right now
these are idle temps, water temp is showing 27.0°C, I'll try to post some load temps, but reall load temps are hard to show, cause window apps don't trigger 3D Mode, and Ati Tool and RivaTuner doesn't work

p.s. mosfet temps are a bit high right now, I am using 1.5mm thick thermal pads, final version is going to use 0.5mm
Wow, that looks great. I'd love to see the results now.Quote:

well the block looks just beautiful, like pretty much all EK blocks do..
zbogorgon would you happen to know, does acetal - delrin come in other colors other that black.. a bright red derlin top would look pretty nice on a ATI block imo ???

i know about the red acrylic version and was asking is there any other derlin colors :rolleyes:Quote:

It was kinda my idea for Xtreme blok, we are on XtremeSystems :yepp:
well here are some load temp, I just ran 3DMark05

hmm would you be able to run tests on the standard waterblock to prove the need for the extreme block? Then Petra might agree with it more :D.
you mean non-fullcover? you'll prob get better GPU temps with that, but overclocking it what counts, especially mem clocks and without Ati Tool and some voltage adjustments it's kinda pointles to do any kind of comparison.
So any results of improved overclocking?
Holy Water Blockzilla!!!
No, he's referring to regular EK full-cover vs. this double-sided thing... and what's the deal with the EK CPU block that you have in that photo?Quote:

yea but gpu pots are with the mobo horizontal and the videocard upright, weight doesnt matter all that much. for someone running in a case, this could pose a threat.
yes but the card is secured on two sidesQuote:
