Has anyone used any blocks to cool the NB/SB and mosfets? Do the 780i blocks fit?
I have the blocks have not installed them but from what JakUp EVGA rep said.. it uses same heat sink mounting.. so it would fit .. sb and nb.. but he said mosfet is different but when i lined up EK 680i mosfet part 1 it seem like itll fit but thats just eyeballin it
so basiclly it won't fit?Quote:

Anyone managed to get a Mosfet block to fit this board yet?
Already got the EK-NB 780i and EK-NB/SB 6 blocks for the board........just need a block for the Mosfet! :(
Are there any known mosfet heatsinks for 750i yet? The guy with post #27 in this thread says an HR-09 Type 3 would fit, but he doesn't back it up with anything.
ENZOTECH has just released a few mosfet heatsinks, one of them fits the 680i board and also works for all 780i reference boards on the I/O Chip side!

Anyone know if this will fit on the 750i mosfet?....I haven’t had my board delivered yet so I can't check the size...... :(
Yea I saw that at Petra's the other day, it looks sexy!!Quote:

Can any of you guys who actually have a 750i board measure the length of the mosfets, and the distance between the two mounting holes?
That's what I was thinking :idea: ........ but maybe mod an EK-Mosfet 680i instead :up:Quote:

From what I've heard, its the best alternative.Quote:

Bump
Finally got my 750 FTW motherboard today, time to check a few blocks....:shrug:
I had read that the EK-NF4 rev1.1 and the EK-NB/SB 6 would fit the board....lets find out.... :bounces:
First up was the EK-NF4 rev1.1 with an 8800 ultra with a EK-FC8800 GTX block fitted .....
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...F4rev11_02.jpg
There is no way to get normal barbs on the EK-NF4 rev1.1 as the block is too near the GFX block :down:
It might have been possible if there wasn’t a component on the motherboard blocking it! :hammer:
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...F4rev11_01.jpg
Well the EK-NF4 rev1.1 seems to be a no go with normal barbs, lets try the EK-NB/SB 6...........:shrug:
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...-SB_6_01-1.jpg
The EK-NB/SB 6 sits directly under the GFX card......a big fat NO :down:
Looks like I may have to forget about water cooling the chip and going for one of these instead :shakes:

Well I am about to order one of these boards as well. I am just waiting to here what blocks (If any), will fit the NB/SB/ Mosfets.Quote:

Thanks for the feedback Marquis. I was interested to see if you could WC the SB, I didn't think you could. What have you decided for the mosfets?
Nice Marquis you finally got your board. How long was it? :). Anyhow good luck with your chipsets, that's definitely terrible that it sits under the cards like that.
[I can't see how you would be able to make just a custom top, the motherboard component is blocking the base :shakes:.....but I'm no block expertQuote:

However....................:upset:
There are 4 nuts that hold the bolts to the motherboard, 2 are stopping the block getting full contact with the 2 chips!
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...-NB780i_02.jpg
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...-NB780i_03.jpg
The only way I'm going to get full contact with the chips is to leave the nuts off, find thinner nuts or mod the block...... :cussing: :censored: :cussing: :censored: :cussing: :censored:
Now I know why its got the acronym FTW.....
FOR THE WORK!
:rofl: :ROTF: :lol:
How much can you take off the block? Doesn't look like all that much. Just notch it out a tad.
However I do not think leaving those nuts off would be a problem. I think they are just there to help you when you are installing the block. The pressure from the block is still being applies to the back of the board, not to that top nut.
Just my :2cents:
Damnit. I didn't notice this on mine till you mentioned it, and I just finished bleeding the system! Looks like i'll be breaking that loop back down to notch this out. I tell yah what, this is the 3rd EK block i've had in 2 weeks with mounting issues. What's Eddy doing over there?
THANKS FOR THE P[ICS AND THE INFO, I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING FOR MY 750i.
I want to go water with all my boards, except the blackops, I will keep the heatpipes but watercool the
