I thought I'd ask here as there's some disagreement on whether it's compatible with compression fittings. I guess I could get a small amount and run it in a test loop and find out for myself. Thanks.

Interesting I had always heard it was too soft for normal compressions!Quote:

As my boss always says - bench data > theory
I finally have mine assembled. :) Sorry for the shoddy camera work, but black is always hard for me to shoot.
I love all aspects of the blocks.
I think that the bridges still need some messaging, improvement/tweaking.

And now the ones that I'm not happy about.

The side port on the CPU pot side of the bridge isn't in play according to the instructions, which leaves little to no room between the GPU's and the CPU pot.
Things I would like to see improved in the bridge area:
1. More flexibilty as far as usable nozzles. Meaning have one usable port on the side of the upper bridge
2. Cut the o-ring grooves into the blocks instead of the bridges, this would make installation much easier.
Wow..Quad Titans...I need to excuse myself and hide my single 570GTX...lol
I got my 4th Titan EK block in, hopefully get this bad boy setup this weekend. I've seen Aquacomputers and XSPC's new Titan blocks, they are pretty sweet looking. EK's have always performed well for me and look OK, and of course there is something to be said about always coming out with blocks first. But EK will need to step up the game in the look's department with the new competition. I've always been partial to some sort of brushed metal like XSPC has done with their block:

Installing another EK Titan block. Here is the guy that works for NVIDIA applying the TIM to my 4th Titan right before his siezure:

And the result:

I've got to win a prize for the most free TIM! Who can beat this! I got a shovel out of the garage and filled up a bucket about half way. :D
a little tim = good
a lot of tim = better
use all the tim = best
I don't how does their Titan block perform but XSPC 7970 block is the worst performer.Quote:

Benchmarking time! :>
Dang...I'm too flipping cheap to buy just one let alone three or four.... nice!
So many multi-GPU Titans and yet so little system pics. Guys, step it up! :shakes::up:
I had some system pics here:Quote:

Didn't want to spam the thread. ;)
Don't forget the 205FPS valley bench. No problem spamming the thread, we're all waiting here for testing to start not much else to do except drool at tech. XSPC block arrived last night, probably won't have time to get photos and flow testing done until the weekend.Quote:

Ya, LN2 CPU really helps the numbers in 3DMark11. At least I can say I have the fastest 24/7 ambient cooled machine on the chart. ;)
Thanks, your rigs have been posted on our social media sites!
@Stren, excellent! Bring it on! :)
Cool. ;)Quote:

If I may make a suggestion for future blocks. I really love the brushed metal backplates, possible to make a version with the block "cover" the same? (I know I would pay extra instead of the bare acetal). Just a thought.
Ick I hate the brushed metal look. I'd rather bring back the backplates with the EK symbol cut out. And also the nickel ones. And also white acetal blocks with matching backplates :DQuote:

@Vega, stren: Thank you for your input! :up:
matt220: PM when you're ready to sell that 295 :)
