Good find!
Looks like a simplified Supreme, hence the "Lt".
Can anyone say "XSPC Edge"?
Its pretty cheap, I hope it cools well. I might pick it up to replace my fuzion v2 that still has no lga 1366 mount.....I did see that their gtx 295 blocks will be out on the 30th!! WOOHOO!!! I have dual gtx 295's and I can't wait to WC them!! I will just be extra poor after buying the blocks......:(
wow the all black one looks crazy hot... it makes me want to build a whole comp around that block :p:
Wowow, some new stuff from EK :up: Quite cheap btw
I wonder when they will be available here in the us without having to ship internationally....
I was thinking Apogee GTZ :DQuote:

Still, nice little block Eddy's cooked up there.
i want one :up:
they removed the picture with acryllic :rofl: weird
He certainly does and thats the niche that he's found in watercooling.Quote:

Eta and Eddy don't go hand n hand. Though I do find it funny he still uses the y, I dropped that when I turned 11 and then went with the ie :) :rofl:
Also, for those worried about ek restriction, take the plate off, and wallah, it's less restrictive.
quick question: does it have a backplate for 1366?
I've asked about this before, but how will removing the accelerator plate affect performance?Quote:

Undoubtedly or they wouldn't have put it there in the first place! Being as removing the plate would remove half of what makes that block perform as it does, I would definitely experiment with the idea before making it a pain in the ass to change back. I am guessing you would see a rise in temps of 3-5c (very rough guess).Quote:

Keep us posted on how it performs when you get it!! I am really interested in it and restriction isn't and issue since I have the CPU on it's own loop!!Quote:

Like the Supreme, minus the accelerator plate. Very similar to the XSPC Edge design, google/search it. EK had internal pics up (an acrylic top version) yesterday, but they've dissapeared into the oblivion...:shrug:Quote:

look really nice, especially the black one, love the block simplicity..
is there a review for this block yet ?...
time to get rid this Enzo REV. A and DTEK V1 :D.....
Haha, thanks Metric. Yeah, looks like an Edge. What's the funny o'ring in the middle? For bowing?
This is a good looking block! What will they cost in the US?
i paid 58$ including shipping...
what shop? shipped from the UK or US?Quote:

Love your work eddy, My 9800gx2 blocks were awesome! Now I just have to wait a bit to get the gtx 295 blocks for my new cards. I am really thinking about getting your new cpu block, looks awesome!:DQuote:

Are those a pair of LED mount holes on the side of the acrylic top?
Very nice looking water block with tons of room for even the largest compression fittings. I think I have found a good replacement for my Apogee GT.
They look like they are led holes.Quote:

I look forward to owning one soon :) It saves me having to mod the accelerator plates to increase the flow now :)
Standard 3mm leds works on it.
My Ek supreme.

They had a picture with the acrylic top that you could see through and notice that, but I don't see it on there anymore. You can't see this with the acetel top....Quote:

Wow, never been a big Supreme fan but this thing looks sick. Looking forward to any tests that come around. Skinnee, you got this baby on your list?...hehe Thanks for posting pics...
From that big pic in the thread it's got the insides of a Edge but the looks of a GTZ (only the delrin one) :p:
Hey Eddy! Do you think you could nickel plate one with the acrylic top for me?? That would look awesome with the blu LED's!!!!
Oh, heck yeah, that would be da bomb!Quote:

Question: is having the mounting system integrated into the top dangerous for cracking?
Nice, very simple, and I bet it works well..
If I could just get it in nickel plating to match my graphics card blocks I plan to buy I would pay double for it!!:(
If it comes in acrylic and in nickel plating I will pay up to the price of the standar supreme for it.
It does pose a risk, yes. Obviously Eddy will have used some sturdy acrylic, and is willing to back the product. Personally i'd be hesitant, given the stories and pictures of the acrylic DD blocks of old.Quote:

If such a mechanism doesn't exist, the endless remounts for optimal mounting pressure and the added risk would make it difficult for the inexperienced.

I went with the KL block simply because they said they're already shipping. I also want to give them 1 more shot at earning my business back after my own personal boycott.Quote:

Worse comes to worse, I'll buy an EK block. I have to say though, I'm quite disgusted with the price KL is charging for their 295 block. Seems way unreasonable.
The 9800gx2 blocks from EK I had before were like $170 dollars when I got them. They were the bare copper ones with acetel centers, they still are like $150 at performance pc's....So for as nice as these look, 159.99 doesn't seem that bad at all.....Quote:

$50 bucks :)
I've just received my EK Supreme Lt today and installed it. I bought it direct from EK's site and the postage was quick as usual. (To the UK.) I also ordered the i7 backplate with it.
Eddy has now started to put stickers over the base of the blocks he sends out which meant the base of mine was perfect after shipping. Installation was easy with no problems - The backplate was attached to the board with long M4 nuts / bolts and then the block is held down with springs and thumb-nuts.
I'm running an i7 920 using the auto-overclock of 3.2GHz. (Not had a chance to do it by hand yet.) Temps provided are from Core Temp, the temp read for the "CPU" tends to be quite a bit lower than the core temps so I'm not sure which is correct.
Using the stock cooler I was idling at around 60C, running one copy of Super Prime (I.e. One core loaded.) I was hitting around 90C.
Using the Supreme Lt I'm idling at around 30C and running one copy of Super Prime I'm hitting around 45C.
This is with a DCC 3.2 and a PA120.3.
Also it seems be very responsive. When I start Super Prime the core heats up in a couple of seconds and when I stop it, it cools back down in about a second.
Cheers Eddy. :3
NB: This is in no way a fair test, just take it as a guide.
Can you give us full temps on all cores laoded 100%? I want to either get this block or the koolance cpu-350....
I don't know which core is real and which is the hyper threading one so I run 8 copies of Super Prime 2004. Priority was 9 and test was Small FFTs.
E-Leet reported the CPU temp as 37C.
Core Temp reported the temps as:
53C
53C
46C
48C
53C
47C
48C
53C
Idle temps:
E-Leet: 23C
Core Temp:
36C
38C
32C
31C
38C
32C
31C
36C
PS: I always end up putting on way too much TIM so the contact probably isn't ideal.
Just curious has anyone seen any trustable comparison between this and some of the well known CPU blocks, maybe even standard supreme :yepp:
btw mine should arrive next week :)
The CPU Temp reading in E-Leet always reads low ... I believe E-Leet reads the CPU socket temp, not the core temps, so best to use the core readings to compare with Core Temp, Real Temp, etc.
When will someone review it and test it? Skinnee??:D
I will send a message to Eddy, so we'll see.
Are there any tests on this block yet?
Finally got it in the mail today, but I don't have the proper setup for testing
Well, I am guilty of something...I forgot to email Eddy. I will add a reminder to email him so I don't forget this time. Sorry! :shakes:
so no one tested this block out yet?
I am waiting to see what kind of results Hondacity gets. I am trying to chose between this block or the Koolance CPU-350.....:cool:Quote:

If this thing somehow had a "pro" mount that had metal wings and bit fancier screws, per GTZ or Fuz V2, it would be quite a winner. 350 and original Extreme are too restrictive imo.
