Beautiful work as always, can't wait to see what else he has planned...

I'm eagerly waiting for the oc results and of course the load and idle temps that this beautiful block can do.

Looks great as always but for the price of an 8600GTS and that block you could probably get an 8800gts...
Very nice job... Eddy sure is pulling out some nice stuff atm :)
Looks like a little baby compared to other blocks.
Like it a lot, great craftsmanship
Funny coming from the person that accused me of being a size queen over on [H] forums.Quote:

that's gotta be the cutest waterblock I've ever seen, amazing :eek2:
Welcome to another relevant Ranker post - please just try to get over yourself, stop hijacking threads and stop embarrassing yourself :clap:Quote:

Oh please try to get away with spouting off about how AC products are superior to those of EK/D-Tek/DD/Swiftech and the likes over on these forums instead of the misled few over on [H] forums and see the reception you'll find. I can't imagine another store owner that tries so hard to push a specific line of products and uses faulty reasoning behind it. :shakes:Quote:

For anyone who enjoys a good, amusing read about the voracity of those that defend Koolance/Innovatek/Zalman/ and Aqua-PCs, please check out this thread. There's a vocal group that loves to spread misinformation (Top Nurse, Rick, Shoggy, Slame, etc). By their advice, we're all better off with AC products across the board: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1193634 Seems like only Arcygenical, ikellensbro, Erasmus, and Bio-Hazard are the few voices of reason in that thread.
Ranker - ill say this very very slowly so you can understand GET OVER IT, stop spamming forums and threads with pointless posts.
I was commenting on the topic in hand - try it some time :rolleyes:
That looks killer. I want to see one with an acrylic top though. :slobber:
3 pic down maybe? :ROTF: sorry couldn't resist
I dont have time to read all 9 pages as its midnight here and i need to get up early for work tomorrow. However just a couple of points (please dont take this as a flame):Quote:

Thanks for your opinion Ranker but im pretty sure I didn't say that the Aqua-Computer blocks performed better then Fusion. What im saying from my experience as a retailer dealing with the blocks in question every day is that if you put a Cuplex XT next to a Fusion the Cuplex stands out more for design and quality. The Fusion will be a degree or two cooler then Cuplex agreed but if you read the first post you would have noticed the following:
Cyp.
That's exactly what I told Eddy... Why buy a $200 video card and spend $100 on a waterblock for it when you could spend ~$250-$300 on an 8800GTS? Extra money spent on better hardware will almost always give you more of a performance increase than if you had put that money into cooling. This is especially true when you consider that the 8600 cards are cheap "mainstream" cards and that it isn't very likely that the people buying these cards are also going to be the type to drop $300+ on water cooling parts.Quote:

just looked at the pics again, those hyrdofoils looks like a very good design, great job on the block there EK :up:
I love EK blocks, the curves in the channels of the blocks give an organic feel to computers.
I need to switch pump to 7V, too much flow

Nice. :) Can you tell when it'll be available, and if there'll be an EK-Cooler for Ati's upcoming hd2600, too?
this FC block is already available, about HD2600 depending on performance of the card
Should have looked on the EK-site before asking, thanks.Quote:
