It's in Slovenian language, but you'll get the most of it - lot's of popular games tested:
- Pictures of water block & overclocking with it: Page 7
- Game & 3DMark tests: Page 3 to 6
I can sum up in english language if you would like so. :yepp:

Pictures of block internals please. :)
wow I never noticed just how close Slovenian is to Bosnian, I can understand 99% of that article.
Shiznit, many Slovan languages, including Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and even Russian sound very similiar, it's not hard to learn even Polish & Czech very fast.
Pictures of block internals?

Very nice. May need two of these :p:
Great job again Eddie !! Block seems to work fab as it cools the X2 at my current 8800GTX levels...
The block in Europe retails around 130 euro's

Id be better off getting a custom block for that much..... or even investing the $207.182 into a phase change unit capable of 9800GX2 SLI load.... (actually for SLI its double that... so $414.364!!!!!)
the price isnt actually high, 130 euros is on the cheaper side compared to what full cover blocks for low volume cards have cost in the past, its the conversion rate that completly destroys the value of the product outside of the euro countries. The dollar lost a lot of value, which caused the euro to go up... Importing something to the us is insane expensive due to that.Quote:

I think Petra's Tech shop will answer your question about MSRP soon :)
@dinos22 & mcbalaban: Thanks guys, you are sure welcomed to stop by any time :D
$200? thats a new mobo for that price!
Euro : Dollar
1 : 1
don't forget that...
the EK is pricewise on par with the 9800GX2 cooler of Aqua-Computer
http://www.hardwareluxx.de/story.php?id=7273
but I think the EK is less restrictive.
Those HD coolers they show on that page look pretty nice :)Quote:

Why not just convert EUR into US$?
cause Americans are spoiled :rofl:Quote:

It's lacquer coated copper wire, 100% insulated, always worked like a charm :)Quote:

Will do... but I might just get a bigger phase unit to handle heat load of the SLI setup of two 9800GX2 cards and a quad core 45nm chip (probably a Xeon X3350)... but we will see... it depends on the builder in what he thinks and feels comfortable with.... Ill let you know either way.Quote:

Ah right, enamelled wire the stuff for coil windings. I like the sound of that, what gauge? Maybe 33SWG?Quote:

If you show me a builder that can build an affordable 3-head single-stage phase change cooler unit that can hold a load of ~ 750W @ -20°C (that means ~ 5 ~ 10°C ++ on the core temperatures) under full load, i'll give my hate off.
performance is more of a concern to me than the price if were talking about phase change units... but it would be nice to pay a budget range price for a high quality unit.Quote:

Ill have some rough estimates this week if your interested. Just shoot me a PM.
That will never happen.Quote:

Talk about globalisation:p:
What kind of rad would you need to wc two in SLI? Would you need a triple or could you get by with just a double?
Yeah its been on, HD as well. Shame about poor Terry :(Quote:
