pic on housing: no, but I guess we could take some.

compression fitting: the block is compatible with G1/4" thread. you can use any compression fittings you want that have a G1/4 thread.

Definitely looking forward to seeing some user experiences with this. Heck, I'm totally new to WC (first CPU block to be delivered today, Enzo Sapph)) and I'm already looking at this and the HK 3.0 LT, heh.

I'll probably end up with all three!

Many thanks gabe. :clap::up: I know I'm not the only one that'll be happy when they finally show up, the other vendors prices are just too outrageous for them ATM. :yepp:

thanks but I mean if will be enough space for compression fittings (one has 22mm diameter)

also about pics I am wondering bcoz at all I will buy this block (but from USA so I will need to wait for them about 3-4weeks :(

If you turn the inlet 180 it should be ok. Wait for gabe to confirm this though :)

The 1366 backplate that I've now with my GTZ = the same is this one right? So no motherboard remounting?

I am going out on a limb here but if it can take 1/2" 3/4" compressions then I think it could take a smaller fitting in the alternate orientation. If you just take a gander at the pictures I think it is pretty straightforward how much room you have.

He confirmed it would take 1/2" 3/4" BP comp fittings. IIRC, those are the largest ones out atm.

ahhh I see now
but if I invert plate, performance will not drop a little?

I think he said most a degree.

edit: yep, just checked site. Gabe claims it is at most a degree. We will have to wait for Vapor to confirm this though.

Big whoop for a degree. Let's see I have my fans on at 2500 rpm.....I'll kick it to 3000rpm to compensate. Still have another 3000 rpm to play with when benching. :up:

Just make certain you anchor it down this time. NWA is getting tired of diverting planes around your house. :p:

LMFAO...:rofl: Yeah I guess it's pretty bad when you registering 400 watts in power in just fans!

On another note though...Powder coating that bracket black would really add to the value of this block. I think that' what I will do with it when I pick one up sometime next week.

haha! Stealing my idea! lol j/k

My only concern is I'd want to be able to buy another regular chromed bracket just in case anything went awry powder coating the original..

correction: our test show 0.1C difference.
the bigger difference is in pressure drop (see curve). this will not be noticeable in a cpu loop only, but could be more noticeable in a loop including multiple devices. although it should also be said that the XT is not very flow sensitive.
