    I see MIPS got the MOSFET blocks right with the curve above the obstructions. Nice work.

    I was thinking about buying the EK version, but how do I know if they are the new version that avoids the interference? Maybe it will have a revision number to keep it straight like the reservoirs.

    Yes 160€ is a hefty pricetag för complete set of (ugly looking) MIPS mosfet/NB/SB-block. I want a nice delrin EK-NB block to go with my orderd TR HR05 SLI/IFX for SB and the two TR HR09S/U for motfets.

    Keep us posted on the EK set, I think some of us stock ROG boys may jump ship back toward the high end blocks.

    If anybody has completed converting their Maximus SE over to some aftermarket block, I would love to hear how high your NB temp can climb at it's worst. let Prime run for a while first, or some other program that will stress the system, and give us a reading.

    If you haven't been following 'Watercooling the Stock ROG Maximus' thread, Nikhsub1 report is making some of us re-think our decission to run the stock cooling.
    A loaded NB temp of 25°C is rather astounding.
    I would love more data from the high end block members, to see if others are close to that too...

    Reported stock ROG cooling temps so far:
    ROG Member ----- NB volts -- NB Loaded --------------- CPU ------------------
    Renegade5399 ---- 1.65v ------ 34°C ------------ Intel Core2Duo E6850 G0 @ 4GHz
    bill d ------------- 1.30v ------ 34°C ----------------------------- Q6600 Stock
    TheSamuri -------- 1.54v ------ 34°C ------------------------ Q6600 GO @ 3.9GHz (Reseated W/MX-2, was 48°C)
    ragge86 ---------- 1.65v ------ 36°C ---------------------------- Q6600 @ 3.8GHz
    BulldogPO -------- 1.65v ------ 40°C -24/7 QMC crunching clocks - Q6600 @ 3.8GHz
    DerekFSE ---- Green setting --- 40°C -------- Running Orthos ----- e6400 @ 3.6GHz
    weescott --------- 1.74v ------ 43°C --------(Q9550 444x8.5) 1.49v 62c under load
    j0nnyr0773n ------ 1.54v ------ 44°C ------------------------- Q6600 GO @ 3.6GHz
    Clump ------------ 1.62v ------ 46°C (After 1HR or Prime 95) ----- Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
    raju -------------- 1.65v ------ 49°C (Prime95 Torture Temp) ----- Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
    Note: After Raju remounted, max temp went down to 39°C
    Note: NB temps over 47°C are prone to failures during longer Prime torture test runs.

    Reported temps using afretmarket blocks for contrast:
    Aftermarket Block Member --- NB volts -- NB Loaded ----------- CPU -----------
    Nikhsub1 ---------------------- 1.52v ------- 25°C ------------- Q6600 @ 3.7GHz (NB Loaded was 41°C-52°C before mod)

    Is this correct?

    (1) EK-NB S-MAX Acetal
    - Fittings 1/2" ID

    (2) 1/2" ID fitting G1/4

    Are we just using our standatd NB backplate, or does EK have one?

    Are we just using our standard NB backplate, or does EK have one?
    Thats the one i ordered and is clamed to be the right one. Seems that the standard backplate and screws fit but not sure until i see it in live.

    As for payments it was easy for me, just a standard bank transfer by my own secured internetaccess of the bank to the given account and IBAN;nr. Toworrow when bussines opens the transfer will be processed without any fees. Should be over there in EK:s account a day or two. Thats how easy it is in Sweden to do bussiness. Bet that Petra will have that block too later.

    I also just like Pete thinking of running with no IHS since that one came of when replacing TIM before first run. Not as mutch for performance as for the not need to thinking if the AS5 under there is to mutch or too liltte or any thing that relates to that it came of when i removed heatpipe first time.

    What does fitting fitting G1/4 mean?

    I currently have in my system:

    Tygon 1/2" ID (3/4" OD) R-3603, and Masterkleer Clear PCV tubing 3/8" ID (5/8" OD).

    Is this going to work, and should I have baught some other fittings?

    G1/4" is the thread size where you screw the fittings. You need a G1/4" 1/2" barb to be used with 1/2" ID tubing.

    I think these are the correct ones for me?

    (2) 1/2" ID fitting G1/4
    High flow fitting for 1/2" ID tubing with integrated O-ring for perfect sealing and good ecthetic. The thread is G1/4

    The thread is G1/4 - This is for the block?

    My Tygon is 1/2" ID so I should be golden correct?

    It should be right yes. If i not read wrong their is 1/2" fittings supplied with the block if you choose the first option. G1/4 thread and 1/2 tube-fitting that is.
