Hi!
Use dangerden or feser shortest SLi fittings.
I'd go with this
They don't even say what is the distance user can achieve.
This is very important...
I ment those: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=24980
Feser do a variable vid SLI set which gives you 3 different length tubes and the 2 ends. This is the safest bet if you're not sure what the gap you need to cover is or if you intend to re-use in the future on a different setup. Very little price difference too.
Thanks for answers guys!!!
i am have this one, bat it look not good... http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...---1-Slot.html
25mm link not compatible with 3sli EK-285ver.2 ??? http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14simid.html
To Eddy EK! can i use these, they beautiful... (Bitspower Premium Mini Shiny Silver D-Plug Set) http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=24676
If I order at first water blocks, and then to measure and order sli-links,i will fine overpay for delivery to Russia...
sory for my english... lolQuote:

distance between EK-FC285 GTX PCB Rev.2=25mm
Because a thickness of swiftech waterblok=15mm, thickness of EK-FC285 GTX PCB Rev.2=16mm
and in picture show that distance between swiftech waterbloks=26mm
16-15=1
1/2=0.5
26-05-05=25
so distanse is 25mm
Thank All
The distance between two identical full cover blocks can be found as follows:
measure distance between the two PCI-e slots you're going to use
measure thickness of a water block between opposing fitting flats
subtract thickness of block from the PCI-e slot distance = distance between front and back fitting surface of two identical GPU water blocks
To be precise distance is 24,6mm.
oops...
To Eddy EK, thank you
so http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14simid.html this link is to big for my setup...
or Danger Den CrossSLI Fittings/Spacers or http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...---1-Slot.html
or To grind off a file these http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14simid.html bat it is not good idea...
so only one kind serially let out for EK waterbloks,
Eddy EK whether is not present at you in plans to let out the own sli-link
We are about to offer a sli fitting solution ;)Quote:

i bild my system, foto coming soon
EK 285 v2 very good!!!
in papalel flow not more 55C in furmark
This link bigger that i need about 1mm http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14si1id.html
3sli cards install in slots very nise and no problem
bat
3SLI PCB link install very harde and lowest GTX285 PCB a little deform
also a need use abrasive wheel to do sli-link litle smaller(1mm)
I'm getting 43-45c maximum load here, very happy indeed! didn't use standoffs.
I think these EK Blocks are great, only two major issues though.
the first was how the instructions said in one place to use thermal paste for the RAM and then in another place to use thermal pads, well there wasnt enough thermal pads for the RAM, only the voltage regulators. so i coated the RAM with thermal paste.. mounted the block without standoffs and after numerous attempts the block did not make ANY contact with the RAM (nickel plating?). this made me reuse the thermal pads off my original heatsink.. which made perfect contact thankfully.
the second was one block fit my PALIT 285 GTX 2GB card perfect, and the other didnt fit my GAINWARD 285 GTX 2GB. now I bought the specific blocks required for this, it isn't another "xxx 285gtx block didnt fit my xxx 285gtx card" post. thankfully 20 mintues with a file solved this but potentially ruined the resale value.
im still very much impressed with EK offering probably the widest range of choices for the 285 GTX and its board revision raping :up: otherwise my rig would not of been possible
oh and the Feser SLi Link was used at its shortest setting:

I think RAMs should be coated only a bit (a small drop) to make pads there more adhesive.:up:
That the temp of the water and air in room?Quote:

here is the filing modification i was talking about, this came out of someone else's build log:
http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/3579/img0739g.jpg
notice the top right corner of the block, and without filing it would foul the small black block in the way.
as for my temps, I dont know the temp of my room, and I dont know the temp of my water, all i know is that with a pair of 285 GTX 2GB's with ek blocks without standoffs using arctic silver 5 with a feser quad rad and 8 fans in push pull and a mcp355 18w with xspc restop with distilled + pt nuked water my load is 45c MAX.
as for the instructions you posted, i've never seen them before, i was sent these : http://81.90.180.2/ekwaterblocks/sho...0046993892.pdf
if you used standoffs try remounting without for better contact and pressure.
Forgive me, I have just learnt. It is very a shame...Quote:

I have removed nearby 1мм both from an external part and from the internal

You never see this instructions because You use diferent GTX285, look at the pictureQuote:

i hav not unbent PCB foto(in area first line mostfets) , bat if the need, i do fofo and show

I also wanted to confirm what Lexus said should other people be having the same problem. My motherboard block from EK was great but between being shipped the wrong pads and the instructions being inaccurate, this one has been a thorn in my side.Quote:

Thanks for sharing your info Lexus.
