Does the block have standoffs? If not can someone show how it is mounting to the board?

I'd imagine you don't need a list at all. My feeling tells me any water cooling related e-tailer on the web that considers themselves serious in the least will attempt to maintain a stock. They'll pop up everywhere real soon, you'll see. :)

Eddy i noticed under your new warrenty conditions this new clause:

The guarantee is not valid if there are used aggressive UV additives. <--- can u define this? as in give us specific items.
06-23-2009, 10:46 AM
Eddy_EK

It has been always there.
Aggressive UV additives could damage sealing o-rings and also crack acrylic tops.
But I can tell you we haven't refused any of the very minimal RMA because of that. :)

Eddy, do you know when NCIX is expected to get your first shipment of these blocks? Because of their price and the conversion rate it makes a lot more sense for me to just buy it locally then order from your guys directly and since they are authorized to distribute your stuff I'd assume they'll have a reasonable stock on hand. Also, do you know if they will be getting the nickle plated Acetal version?

I've got a gigabyte X58 board and was looking at the EK full board kit - sadly though it is in several pieces and needs to get water lines run all over the place (unlike this gorgeous EVGA block!). Those fittings all open their own headaches and hassles, not to mention using compression fittings means quite a bit of extra $$ on the build.

In theory, a pair of bridges that would link the 3 blocks together could be designed *or* the three could be made into a larger block. Might there be any way to get some support behind a design or prototype? Color me interested in getting something similar to this EVGA block!

Will Different Color Arcylic Bridges be Available?

Got mine in on Friday from Sidewinder Computers. It was a pain to install the plastic standoffs, but the end result is well worth it.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/...f1a849ac_o.jpg

Now all I need is my i7 920 from the Intel Retail Edge program, and I can finish my new build. They are saying 2-3 weeks before it ships :-(

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3539/...ba032be7_o.jpg

This block looks amazing installed on the Classified. Does anyone think we will see different color acrylic bridges from EK? I would love to purchase a Blue bridge to match the Blue cooling loop I have planned.

I am using an E760, and it installs just fine. There are no issues on using this block with either the E759 or E760.

Installation Question - Use Standoffs Yes/No ?

I have read on some other forums that it is a better idea to install this block without the standoffs, even though the instructions say to use them.

Is there any real advantage to not using the standoffs, aside from an easier install process (they were a pain in the @$$ to line up and install)? Thanks.
07-03-2009, 08:28 AM

Can't you line them up on the block then use a drop of super glue to hold them in place until you can tighten the screws?

You did almost exactly the same as i was planning on doing this summer.
The only diffrence is that i am going to use a external res and an mcr320 rad and also cool the gpu.
But could you tell me what the distance is between the back of the case and where the rad attaches to the rad support from koolance when its fully extended?

Folks, is it ok to have this small hole in the block? I have not yet run water into it so I dunno if there would be a leak. It looks like its from the screw hole. This is my first water cooling build so am just taking extra precaution. TIA...

Wow! . . . Ok. Thanks for the info. At least I can go ahead and pick up one of the acetal versions instead of continuing to hunt for the acrylic.

What a shame. The clear acrylic looked really cool. From what I can tell, it looks like you can see the fluid flowing through it, so you could probably change the whole look of it just by putting different color water additive - even making it look UV reactive. But that's ok. Looks are a minor concern compared to performance. . . .

Speaking of, have there been any reports of leaking from the bridge part of the block? I assume there are some sort of rubber grommets there that seal it? . . . That would be a really bad place to have a leak since it would be essentially right above the video card.

Just got my Classy in last night too. :(

Hi!

If you prefer perhaps white acetal top and red acrylic on top that could also be arranged. But only directly with us.

Hi Eddy,

You mean white acetal top, with the red acrylic for the bridge? I think I prefer the black top with the red bridge, (dead sexy). I really appreciate your offer though. I just had my heart set on the clear acrylic top with red bridge on the plated base, (hard core pr0n). :) But hey, if there are cracking issues with the clear acrylic, I understand.

Are you using the included thermal pads or your own TIM?
