Thats an interesting block zbogorgon.
Did you deliberately black it out to hide what is underneath?
I was wondering what that block was myself. I can see a small EK insignia on it...Quote:

if you have a very thin device, top slot could be usable, Eddy also said that all screws will be sinked

Eddy, it's possible to design slimmer blocks without affecting flow. Just consider the delrin tops for this block, they are too thick. The only reason you need this kind of thickness at all is for the fittings, however I've seen blocks that are only thick in the fittings area while the rest of the block is thinner. Also, the copper block can be made slimmer if you widen the channels, which is perfectly possible judging from your picts, there is lots of room.Quote:

It seems plenty appealing :yepp:
zbogorgon
is that a camera fault or i can see the card highly bent?
now it looks fine
just check the post 84 again. must be the angle of the photo causing this effect..
where r the picks of the single slot one??!!
So any word on the time frame when these waterblocks will be released? Liking the red acrylic blocks for my crossfire.

Petra, GDDR4 isn't new, the X1950XTX had it, and it isn't really much cooler, when you run it at like 2.4v like I did it certainly isn't getting cooler.Quote:

Will you be counter-sinking the screws like we had talked about?Quote:

LOL I can already see people going "BUT THE RAM COOLING IS TOO SKIMPY!"
The ram cooling is too skimpy!
sorry couldn't resist.. but yeah its looking good :D
I think alu part of normal version will be slightly ribbed, with Xtreme you get fully watercoold rams, all of them :D
p.s. availability in cca 10 days
10 days and counting .....
Will the screws be counter-sunk?Quote:
