    Nice block that AC, But the most important thing is hidden under the top.
    And we all know why they don't want to show it

    I know I was being a smart ass, I don't think EK has done a full cover that is NOT SLI capable.

    The final version of the AC block will be offered in Plexi aside from the stainless steel top, from what I've read. Nice that they are switching to copper.

    yup, pretty nice.
    But aquacomputer always has those G1/8 threads, god i hate those things.
    Anyone knows EK is the baddest thing for your gfx card, so why bother?

    Eddy I love the mix of metals, makes it stand out without being obnoxiously flashy.

    Standard acrylic/delrin top for that beauty?

    If I had an 8800GT, looking for a fullcover block, there would be no doubt in my mind which I'd go for
    The Cardboard Master
    Crunch with us, the XS WCG team
    Intel Core i7 2600k @ 4.5GHz, 16GB DDR3-1600, Radeon 7950 @ 1000/1250, Win 10 Pro x64

    Least AC deserves some props for moving to copper/stainless. Looks like I know what I'm after now...

    EK blocks are awesome, until you get to that tacked on aluminum part.

    If the reason for it is to make the block interchangeable with different length cards, at least offer a copper option.

    Yes, that's right. And the plexi cover will offer the possibility for SLI use.

    Nope, not this time. It's G 1/4". They're changing this obviously.

    yeah a copper bit would be nice... i guess eddy eddy sees no need for as the aluminum part isn't touched by water...Would bring the price up a bit aswell i would assume... (Only cools the vrm's anyways!)

    Doesn't bother me too much...still like the ek over other fc block dd,ac etc

    although i would rather the end bit to be black apposed to silver looks so much better black...

    I understand your point of view.
    But let me tell you that the mosfet chips needs very little cooling.
    And if the aluminum part would be made of copper I am sure there would be no significant difference.
    The only difference is in weight and easier milling of aluminum.
    Perhaps we might offer a copper version... for the perfectionists like you

    I'm sure many people would pay the difference.
