That is going a little far . . .not undisputed. I doubt Eddy would say that about himself . . .

DD does not post here as EK does so you have no idea what they are up to . . .Are there numbers of side-by-side testing that you are referring to? I like both companies and think both make kick ass stuff . . .I don't think you can say one is better than another really . . .they are pretty much variations when it comes to the full coverage blocks . . .how much variation can there be . . .and how much of a temp difference?

I am not taking anything away from Eddy . . .I love his work. I will continue using his stuff along side DD stuff as they totally compliment eachother. If only us users would have the class demonstrated by EK and DD . . .they do not talk crap about eachother at least from what I have heard. It is like watching cage fighters scrap for 3 to 5 rounds then embrace after the fight and show respect regardless of who came on top that paticular fight.

Eddy make stuff we want but what he also knows the market is needing., He does it fast, proper and shows us. Also keeps us well informed on it.

DD, makes stuff months latter, doesn't listen to us. It looks crap, it performes crap, it;s a waist all of there last blocks i saw.

Eddy speaks to us, the end users, the ones that matter. You can have a full on convo with the dude as i do most weeks about everyday life and he has the time to do this. That means a lot to show he is intrested in what were all doing.

Eddy is the higest on FC and custom or demanding products.

DD does make stuff but too late and not interact with any of us

Looks is in the eyes of the beholder. Performance? Test results or you are just espousing opinion Pete.

I guess I don't understand the charts Martin made because I thought higher flow is better . . .but you are the expert so I defer to you.

I have yet to see any tests of the same generation products that show DD stuff performs like crap. Martin has done some testing which shows decent performance. No, you are just proving why DD will not come on here. You post is downright rude (using the term crap).

I understand why you like Eddy and I appreciate his responsiveness. YOu really have no clue about Danger Den as does most everyone who posts here. They do read the posts here . . .and they do listen and take into account what is said. They just do not reply.

Pete you normally seem to know what you are talking about . . .I am disappointedin you dude.

Dude, someone in EVGA needs to get fired. This is just stupid. I was hoping they learned some lessons when the corrosion RMA hit on there black peral series when people mixed it with the BFG videocard.

Seriously i hope they end up losing a :banana::banana::banana::banana: load of money on this one so they can be smarter next time.

sorry im very pissed at this move again. We can see other suppliers moving to Copper only. WTF is EVGA thinkn.

Better post pics! Also 3dmark on both platforms would be very much apreciated! :nod:

Here is a little something we have been working on :cool: EVGA designed. EVGA manufactured. Full copper.

Ouch, that will be a very heavy and expensive block. You can shave off cost and weight with a acetal middle plate ;)

Well said DB. I think we all owe a lot to DD for getting good products to the watercooling community before EK was around.

Very nice. EVGA is so badass these days. Gonna be uber heavy and expensive though. I am still wondering if finding a longer version of the ribbon cable would be an easier and lighter solution. Anyone have cable yet that they can analyze Number of cables, exact length, approximate awg or diameter of wires, any markings? The type of connectors. All that stuff. I wonder where Nvidia sourced them and if they are custom. These are all questions we should start asking soon. I'm also wondering if just using separate wires would work. I think it should be possible to just buy a ribbon cable and modify it though. Does Nvidia sell those cables as replacement cables for times when you break them or they are defective. I'd like to get one to analyze myself.

just take a bunch of standoffs and screw em together, a space mounting screw and go to home depot and get a couple nuts. Done and done.

There's a little custom PCB that comes with it too. It's longer than the stock one.

I am tickled by all the manufacturer pimping in this forum. Can't we be an impartial forum and stop this incessant bickering ? lol
