Any blocks for new 470/480 cards?

[dpajur]

Are there any waterblocks available or coming up soon for the new nvidia cards?

I'm thinking of picking up a 5870 and an EK block, but I'd wait a few weeks for 480 if it's coming up. Does anyone know?

Where did you see this posted? I had been hoping Eddy was going to chime in on one of these threads and show even just renders of their planned blocks for 480/470. It seems based on Nvidia's tight control of available cards pre-launch, however, that maybe EK hasn't gotten a hold of one yet to design a solution.

Eddy what's going on with Fermi blocks?

It's on the EK website.

koolance is just about to release their GTX 480/470 blocks

[Koolance]

Ours will be arriving late next week. Photos and pricing will be available then.

Unlike our previous full-coverage VID blocks, we will be using 0.5mm GPU microfins on these (with LEDs): http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...hp?cPath=29_46

koolance is just about to release their GTX 480/470 blocks

ditto for their 295 blocks.

[xguntherc]

well I'm going to be snagging whatever block seems to be the best and at a good price as soon as possible. I have a eVGA 480 Ordered and waiting for the 12th.

hmm... DD, or EK, or Koolance?

[H2O]

I have a DD4870 block and it is awesome. The built in standoffs make installation so easy, I'd definitely use the DD block if you are going to be swapping out the block often. I like EK for looks, and I can't comment on Koolance. I'm sure all three will be excellent choices, though.

Our GTX 480 and GTX 470 blocks are now available.

Looks like one hell of a core size, wow!

[xguntherc]

wow, so any video's or up an running Temp tests or anything Koolance? I'd like to hear some info regarding it. I just saw the DD video this morning also

[xguntherc]

So, DD has 3 out, same with EK, and Koolance has theres, is there other brands I should wait for. or should I just snag one now??

I wonder what one cools the best

[EvilClocker]

XGuntherc. I have both Koolance and DangerDen ... Dont wait just get the DangerDEn Call them tho. there website might say out. and they actually have them. both block are probally withend 1-3C

[xguntherc]

they are in stock.. I'm debating the Acetal+Nickel EK, or the Full Nickel DD

actually DD is out of the Full Nickel.. so I can wait, or get the Nickel+Copper DD. or the EK.. ahh I called also, the lady wasn't in the warehouse, but said if the site shows it's out of stock then it probably is

[DoggRoger]

Waiting for my 2 480's to arrive, in the mean time let me break the ice here by posting some copper.

[xguntherc]

Yea I ordered the Copper, Nickel top DD today. be here in a few days. I already have my 480 though.

[H2O]

The DD blocks are sweet! They would look sick plated in black chrome.

[mechman]

Nice looking blocks...I see that DD just did run some tests with the core at 900...So these cards look to have a huge overclock potential! 60C under load with the wimpy ProII rad and pump in FurMark Xtreme Burn and 46C in the Heaven Benchmark.
