I'm wondering the same thing. Also are the red LED included? And do you plug it in the same place where the stock pulsating red E is connected?

If not then can someone point me to where I can find the LED and cable to connected the LED to the motherboard.

Thank You.

Is there a risk that this will break or what are you saying?

All the time? LOL
We got currently 5 RMA blocks and we replaced the tops with acetal version.
This is what he ment all the time ;)

If you're getting a block, make sure yours has O-rings before installing it. Not saying that it's likely, just something to be cautious considering the price of the mobo.

Edit: I should in all fairness point out that there is next to no chance of getting a leaking block if your block is from newer stock.

Where did you get this quote? I think I read it at aquatuning trademark grab. :confused:

Regarding acrylic top for classified. I will think about it as we would have to use different material to eliminate cracking possibility.

Hi Eddy, the quote's a ref to an old Sega game...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_you...e_belong_to_us
Heh, my iTunes/ourtunes library was affectionately named "All your music are belong to us" back in the day.

Yea, that would be super awesome... I've been looking all over for one of those acrylic blocks. Thanks, and keep us posted. :up:

JEALOUS! Every place I've checked so far, short of ordering direct, has been sold out. As soon as they are avail, and the EK-D5 v2 top are once again available (also seem to be sold out everywhere), then I'll be placing a big order.

Hi guys,

Anyone who has this block running on, can you please post your temp of both vreg and system? I would like to be curious to see. My temps are average 45c for vreg and 40c for system.

Some feedback would be appreciated.

Its funny how everybody made it clear they wanted red top on the block but yet in every picture nobody but 1 person has red on it. Im gonna be ordering mine shortly. Cant wait.

I see replacement parts for the Classified block on the official website, but no acrylic version, it would be a good idea to manufacture acrylic tops only so we may purchase it as an optional part if EK doesn't want to take the risk, cause truthfully i do prefer the acrylic and i see myself sticking with this board for a very longtime.

can someone who has the complete setup please post up a screen shot of there board temps on eleet like this?

id like to see your spread on mosfet and system.

I'm benching on mine right now, under LinX load system reads 30-31c and VREGs read 43-44c. E760 on a dedicated loop with EK full cover nickel block GTX 280 rad with med speed yates loons push/pull and a ddc with xspc res top.
Under load, testing for 4.4GHz stability:
http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/p...ks/ekblock.jpg
LinX fail:
http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/p...cks/44fail.jpg
No change in the system temps, but VREGs are lower at idle

So glad I found a second hand plexi model. Cracking issues be damned!
Thought that White top on the EK website could look awesome as well.
Eddy, you need to start making more things in white acetal and plexi. If I see another classified with a black and red themed case I'm going to scream.

thanks trn!

exactly what i wanted.

After screwing around with my new WC loops i've dropped the OC back down to my 24/7 4.2GHz. My spread there is 39c VREGs and 31c system.

Question for you; how did you get a 21c system temp? I thought my GTX280 dedicated loop with push/pull fans would give me some of the lower chipset temps :D

System != chipset temp... it's air temps near mobo (case temp). If I am not mistaken, you can see NB temps using everest with the last bioses.

I have the VREG running at 45-47C, with one loop consisting of 2 GTX285, 1 975EX, 1 X58 Classified, and low rpm fans on 2 radiators. The NB temp is good too, i dont remember it exactly (not at home here). That's when overclocked (VTT +200mV, Vcore 1.26).

Well since the board is itself red & black it makes sense to have a red & black theme around it...

Thanks, that explains a few things :)

cold ambients and also i have a dedicated loop for the board only.

This is the setup for the board only. :P

Its a PA160.

SAE i could of sworn those temps are the ones reported in bios.

My board loop is just Overkill.. my entire computer in fact is overkill.

Im looking at the spreads because i wanted to see how small of a delta u guys had having 1 large block instead of 2.

How can you tell? :D

No, honestly, the super i/o had both nb and cpu hs temp on same line so that we could not get both temps displayed in windows at the same time. I.e. just the cpu hs temp was reported by eleet and nb temp in everest was cpu hs as well. Later Shamino and his team changed that to show the right nb temp. I dunno what exact bios that was... nevertheless it should show correctly with latest bios revisions. But I doubt it's the temp labeled as system (pls feel free to correct me).

/edit. Maybe you can check against everests nb temp under load.

i could never get everst to play right on vista... so i retired it on 7...

Hwmonitor vs eleet.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p.../Capture-1.jpg

oh im not on the EK... i wanted to see the spread on the EK because i need to help a friend build his classy, and wanted to see the spread difference against a koolance.

Note im saying spread difference, not overall temps.. :P

Board under load: Thats my kagami Load Meter.. :D
BTW: PWM frequency in bios is @ max.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p.../Capture-3.jpg

You can see why now everyone who knows me calls me a scary whore...

Yes i need a remount on because i think i missed cores 0 3 4.. :shakes:

Gotcha... i'm a big fan of overkill; with my 24/7 OC 100% load my delta is 8c.

my build theme is white, blue, black and silver. i think ive done a good job minimising the red.
And i love nickel plexi.
