I'm with Bojamijams on this one. Yes we need one Vincent :) The NB's fan is awfully loud! The EVGA 750i and 780i PCB reference board is so close.
EK's 780i's NB block fits the 750i's, not 100% because obstruction of the nut that came with the block, but the holes line up perfectly, and it will still work if you just leave the nut out...I hope you'll be able to find one, I'm thinking it might fit, but who knows there might be some capcitor that could destroy our hope...
Would love an update! I'm currently fighting with myself over evga 780i ftw or 790i ftw, evga failed me in not releasing the ftw with waterblocks, so these bitspower blocks look excellent! How are they coming along?
Its going to be September soon and still no sign of this :(
I need these end of September at the absolute latest or I'm going to have to go with a different block :(Quote:

Maybe they are running into some unforseen manufacturing problems, considering that they are not that much into designing and manufacturing blocks and hopefully all the issues are resolved before it comes out to the market. Sorry can't help but speculate since it's taking forever to release the blocks.
Sorry for the delay..
Here I show you new Black Freezer A790NS for ASUS Stricker II Extreme
Later will have all of them be announced
Very nice as usual vincent. :clap:
Hmm, i like it, but do you think you have enough bolts/screws on that thing vincent? :p:
Na i was having a cheeky jab at the amount of bolts used to secure the top of the wb to the base. And thus the <:p:> :DQuote:

True, that's a good thing. R3 knows a good thing when he sees it!Quote:

Huh? We can't even see the internals yet :shrug:Quote:

I'm not particularly worried about it myself. Cooling of the SB is really secondary, after all most of them are cooled currently using either heat pipes or very tiny heatsinks, so really just about anything will be an improvement. Being able to reclaim the expansion slots immediately above both of those is of far more value to me than a couple extra degrees or a little bit of restriction.Quote:
