EK-wave now comes in delrin

I noticed a while back that EK released new tops for his EK-wave block but I haven't seen anyone mention it here so here I go:

I don't like plexi tops. Not because I don't trust Eddys constructing skills (I've never heard of a cracked EK block!) I just don't like the way it looks. These new tops look a lot better if you ask me, I'd choose this block over apogee. I hope he release a delrin version of the EK-VGA block soon.

I looooove these blocks and recommend them highly!! They are sexy and perform well...just wish the shipping wasn't so $$$.

C'mon, Eddie, when ya making a FC block for the G80 cards? Inquiring minds wanna know!

G80 Blocks are in manufacturing ptocess.
For both cards; GTX and GTS.
The plan is to release them in 10 days ;)

Sweet Eddy. Might have to see if you up for sorting me some block out on my 7 loops project

I like Eddys Gold plated blocks

Don't know how much it improves temps over copper but at
least they should never corrode.

Pricing?? Any plans for a Delrin top? Oh did I mention pricing?

This is one hella nice block.....typical EK sexyness!

Eddy says it'll be priced similarly to the rest of his fullcover designs, so if we assume it'll be a tiny bit more that'll put it at about 85 Euros, which as a direct conversion is $110 or £57.50. Unless of course he means similarly priced to the 7950GX2 block which is 120 euros.

Smashing. I did expect these blocks to cost a bit more due to the many components that need cooling on the GTX/S but if theyre going to be around the same price as 1 of your X1900/7900 blocks thats great.

I am all over that like a fat kid at a cupcake factory so I know I can water cool my GTS!!!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking of getting a Chipset block as well for my Ultra-D as I want a complete water cooled system so I should just place one order. Save on shipping.

TY EK!

Gold is a worse conductor of heat than copper :fact:

Agree.
But the layer is so thin... few microns so there is no difference in performance ;)

But surely there is a diference in aesthetics... :)

the difference is so small, that it could be measured only with some high-tech equipement, but I dare to say that gold-plated block would come on top

you all forget that at contact surface there is no coper, but coper-oxide, that has significantly lower heat conductivity that the coper it self and gold, as we all know in room conditions does not form an oxide :D

gold plated blocks... where? Any shiny pics?:D
Is the copper plated directly or is it nickel plated first?
I ask because i read that copper, if plated directly will stain the gold over some time. And I'm wondering if that is really an issue and does anyone know how long it takes for copper to "leak" through gold?

G80 block looks stunning. but from Ive read here on xtreme most are not recommending full cover blocks so im confused. which is better, FC or say MCW60 with ramsinks? and the gpu would be in its own loop if that makes a difference. i want to vmod the 8800 so want the best (water) cooling.
12-05-2006, 09:41 AM
[XC]Atomicpineapple

Well fullcover blocks dont give as much value for money because they can only be used on 1 card (fairly obviously), but given the large number of components on an 8800GTX/S that would need cooling with RAMsinks a fullcover block is perhaps a better and neater solution.

Water cooling newb question. What is special about delrin plastic over the acrylic? I like the clear tops, is it just for look? As neither plastic is corrosive.
12-06-2006, 01:29 PM
phelan1777

I think that delrin is less prone to crack over time, looks sexier to some.

Rolio,

Didn't you just install some EK blocks in your system? I thought I saw a job log on another board...what kind of temps did you get with them? :D
12-06-2006, 07:47 PM
el rolio

i got AWESOME TEMPS with them. and yea, i'd happily replace my 2x 79gt's for a gts. but i just can balance it financially :(

anyhoo of all the diff cooling equipment ive worked with over the years, to me, the EK full cover blocks are second to none. why? price is better than competitors, quality is better, and they actually cool damn well too. im a believer.

put it this way, i'll always reccomend someone go gpu block and ramsinks.... OR EK.*
