I too am interested but look at where I live.... :(
Guys I think this is obvious: the more you add blocks (gpu, sb, nb, cpu, pwm etc) = more restriction! Thats why you should use a good pump, to deal with more blocks.
So if you don't want restrictions in your loop you would have to buy 1 pump for each block and also 1 rad for each block, that doesn't make sense money and space wise. So what you have to do is keep track of your temps before and after adding a new block to the loop to see if your rads+fans+pump is cooping with it...
If you have a good pump and rad the heat/restriction factor won't be an issue for you.
The SW-16 has universal 1/4 threads compatible with any DD or Dtek barbs in different sizes...
No problem mate I am also counting the days for the block to arrive in the store for us! :up:
Its not so much the restriction (which is obvious) thats in question, its how much the Heatkiller is gona 'choke' my 1/2 inch loop :p: :( :)
I seem to have missed the buy here. Anyone know where I can purchase one? I checked vcore.dk but didn't see the block on there. If I missed it can anyone link it to me?
You didn't miss It's still on the waiting I will add your name to the list:

Hi,
Ok, thanks for the update.
Sorry no ETA yet, but I ask them every other day, so they should give us an
answer at some point very soon - you would so think at least :)
Best regards"
Sweet glad I didn't miss it. Thanks for adding me.
Please add me to the list for Watercool HK SW-16 as well. Currently I don't need this since I'm only running a dual core, but down the road I plan to go quad.
Do we pay you in advance, or after the shipment arrives to you? I didn't see this step mentioned in the thread, but I might have just overlooked it.
Many thanks!

Done!
No payments in advance. I will only receive payments when Vcore.dk email me saying that they have it in stock and are ready to ship to us.
So when the items arrive there I will ask for 1st payments (block + split shipping for group included in that order) limited to the quantity they have in stock, if someone delays the payment or lose interest, next person in line will be offered his place.
After the product arrive here in AZ I will quote shipping from here to the buyers addresses and then the final shipping payment can be made.
But all payments must be made on the order from dk otherwise I could end up with 1 blocks in my hands and a big setback :up:
Hey guys,
Good news: ETA = 1 week now!!!!
So get ready for he order! :up:
YAY! MY Mosfets are like hot stoves. Time to buy a new pump so I can run my second loop.
Any word on how many are coming in? If not enough for all of us any eta on batch 2?
yes finally there is some good news
how do u think, is it necessary to use backplate for these mosfet blocks?
Probably 6-10 and we are going to clean their stock :up:
But the next batch will be much faster then the first one said Jonas, because Watercool has now decided to make the SW-16 a steady production.
It's always cool to have a backplate. I plan to buy a Koolance Heat Plate, drill two holes to the extremity so the screws can fit, isolate the metal that will touch the mobo backside and voilá you got yourself a backplate for the mosfet waterblock:

I don't see the heatkiller 16, where is their page for it? I'm interested in a group buy, but I'd like to see a pic of it on the board first.
This block is new and not yet available on their website. It took us a long time to get to this point that Vcore could order them especially for us and then send it to USA.
Watercool.de is one the best waterblock company's in the market and their blocks are very well made (Germany).
They made this for MSI:

You can get an idea how it will look in our mobo in this pic:
I plan to make it from aluminium piece, which left from my mobo tray after a mod :D
And use mouse pad as isolation.
Also mosfets might be in different height, so do I need to use more 'thick' thermal compound, to compensate this difference? Will MX-2 be good for it?
And MIPS block covers 2 long details PCL0007 near mosfets, does Watercool block cover it too?
if i was still going watercooling then i'd get some heatkiller stuff. it looks tough
Thanks again Jor3lBR... My DFI LanParty thanks you... Anyway I have way too much in the way to measure the hole pattern on the mosfets, so if you could.....Please LMK???
I'm thinking about just picking up the Koolance AVR Plates if the sizes match up... Yeah I said the K word.. Will never use Koolance but in this case it's only a back plated that's Nickel Plated COPPER!!! 4 $4-$5 beans depending on size.. Looks to be around 76mm... Thanks!!!

No problem. I posted a Koolance plate on my post on the top. 76mm is to much because the sink (excluding the holes has 67mm).
Don't worry guys I will do the measuring this weekend and will post here the best option we will have for backplate.
EDIT: Updated batch list as we going to receive more then expected and probably enough to fulfill the entire list.
I was just thinking - I have some 1/8" thick aluminum out in the garage. It's a 1" wide bar about 34.5" long. How long would a backplate need to be? I could cut them to length and drill & tap the holes if I had a block to go off of. :D
