I'll be including it in the roundup that is posted here, and I'll be measuring VRM and VRAM temps as well as performance vs flow so we'll see how it does :)
Thanks Martin - interesting - yes it reminded me of a laminar to turbulent transition plot from back in the day. But I thought we always had turbulent flow these days so your explanation might be...
Cool I'll try this next - did that help your temps?
Yeah I'll be retesting all the blocks, I'm trying to run every block once first in case something dies.
I did forget VRM and memory temps on the EK block, and Koolance had a backplate so I...
EK are releasing a new jetplate for the Supremacy. I got to run a prototype on the same setup used for the CPU block roundup and got a ~1C performance increase on my 3930K:
...
Alright then. I got done with the first run on the Koolance block which is a real puzzler. I'm definitely going to have to run this block again to make sure this is legit:

Yeah they do get hotter when you run an air cooler as they would roughly track the GPU temps, i.e. ~70C when the gpu was at 75C on air.
Yeah we'll see how time goes, with multiple...
Yup I'll be doing that as soon as I have a second block done to compare :) That one becomes less important once you start talking about 3 cards in parallel I think because the restriction might be...
First result from EK, one run only with MX2:

Trendline is set to log style, not sure if this is the right choice, but it seems that higher flow would give...
You can use the supplied calibration files and it will give you a reading of the flow. However that reading may not be that accurate (in my case ~0.2-0.3GPM off). If you want more accuracy you need...
Thanks shoggy I'll get that fixed :)
Great work again Martin!
I haven't measured it, but it would be about the same as a small barb or a small section of tube as there's nothing really in the way (unless you fit the flow restrictor plate which you're supposed...

The MPS 400 is the first flow rate sensor for water cooled PC's that uses a...
Love that - makes me want to sell my titan and get a malta ;)

I gave up on EVGA loaning me a card so I sold my 580s and bought a titan:

I upgraded the bios to avoid throttling and increased the power limit of the card so...
Nice. Maybe I should get one of those "laser" temperature guns to see if I can measure it. I do wish I had this block rather than the copper version, it's really pretty.
Hydrocopper block arrived last night. Work's crazy busy right now so I probably won't have time to post pics and make an unboxing video for a little while.
I haven't used the maelstrom as I avoid bay reservoirs in general. However the mcp35x2 is a great pump and I love PWM functionality. For a quiet setup it is louder than I'd like when at full power,...
Yeah we'll have to see - the 480 was a high power card. If I do end up buying one I'll be buying an EVGA card with warranty so that mounting a waterblock doesn't invalidate the warranty. Hopefully...
Nice work - I love to see correlation so it's good to know that my 380/supremacy results look similar and that your ivy results look similar to st0ned's from what I remember. Your Phobya block seems...

Ick I hate the brushed metal look. I'd rather bring back the backplates with the EK symbol cut out. And also the nickel ones. And also white acetal blocks with matching backplates :D
Thanks for the info I dread to think of the shipping for something this heavy :) I finally found a local place that's going to take a look. If that doesn't work out, I might look at at least trying...
