The block's exterior design looks reaaaaally similar to another company's product...
Good move on AC's part though, they're producing copper MOSFET blocks too now.
I love your blocks Eddy, looks to be of top quality as always. I also like how open you are to peoples suggestions e.g. copper mofset piece instead of aluminium, I don't think there is any other manufactuer that would respond in the same way (that's a good thing ).
Hey Eddy, when are those gonna be available for retail?
Circles SucQ!
If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig
Bribery won't work on me...just say NO to AT!!!
people shouldn't be encouraging full cover blocks from manufacturers in my opinion but rather just memory/mosfet heatsinks and normal blocks
that way you can keep using them on upgraded cards and just changing ram/mosfet heatsink and would be cheaper for end users in the end because you won't have to buy new blocks every time a new design is out
The choice is the end users .... with graphics card memory getting so fast and hot its the best way IMO, but there are plenty out there if GPU block only is your preference, just let Eddy keep producing his works of art
Also I have to say, props to Aqua and Eddy for getting these ready so quick (I don't have a GT, but I am very impressed with how fast the blocks have materilized).
I know which would be my choice, and it isnt the Aqua ... in fact one of the 8800GTX blocks of Eddy's will be winging its way to me before much longer
If/when I change my graphics card, the cost of the block is a small proportion to the cost of high end graphics, so its not an issue TBH
The first 8800 blocks will be out end of next week (till 16th) for distributors/resellers and also in our webshop.
I can assure you that!

Number one rule as a dealer or manufacturer is to not talk bad about your competitors. Seems there is another thread in this same forum where you have done the exact same thing of showing a block and not posting the internals.
Pot meet the kettle...
Now on the OP I can say that a few things may be in store for the new AC block. With it's apparent thin size it looks like the floating core may be a thing of the past. I hope not as that was the unique engineering that made AC GPU coolers something special that stood out in the common crowd of people like EK, DD, and others.
Can't wait to see the finished product as that G92 prototype already looks yummy from my perspective. Too bad it's not aluminum as I always liked the black anodized look with the AC logo lit up.
Aqua Computer has released pics of the internals of their new G92 water block. You can see it here. I'm bummed about no floating block and it's all copper now, what a waste.
" The graphics processor is cooled, as is the VRAM together with the 10 voltage regulators. In addition, another three voltage regulators which are not fitted on the current card can also be cooled with this design. "
Seems they are in league with Nvidia as they have voltage regulators cooled that aren't showing up on current boards. Hows that for reducing TCO.

Learned a saying in 1st grade that applies here (mostly)...
First is the worst
Second is the best
Third is the one with the hairy chest
(apparently the 3rd line was an insult in the first grade...either way, the first two lines apply here )

Its my fault.. and no im not sorry about it either.[12:37] skinnee: quit helping me procrastinate block reviews, you asshat. :p
[12:38] Naekuh: i love watching u get the firing squad on XS
Just saying that I like the EK more than the AC
If the third one released is bristled, the saying is complete.
I definitely have a hairy chest.
A wolf in wolves clothing.
nice
they've improved
now someone's gotta start making them much cheaper
copper is only important for internals and CPU core
the rest should be ALU to save on cost and make them priced well as performance will not deteriorate
another advantage is weight >> it will reduce a lot

Maybe I'm going crazy, but I actually like the AC block. Just something about it. If I get an 8800gt, that is probably the block I would get for it, as long as it performs reasonably well.

i canceled my mcw60 order to wait for EK's block
im waiting patiently to "add it to cart"
he said end of this week right?

Hey.
If my eyes are not playing tricks on me, I see a 2mm deep channels.
Look, are this wave channels?
EK-FC88 GT block will be out on Monday-Tuesday.
I miss the date every time for few days. I apologize guys

Since the release of the Double Impact block, Aqua Computer uses G1/4 threads
Actually the "waves" look like the Aqua Computer logo?
That is one very finished looking block. I really like how all edges are machined and rounded on the top side.
