    Cool New EK CPU block!!

    Hey guys,

    Don't know if this has been posted yet but Eddy pronouced a new waterblock on his website is in the final stage of manufacturing.

    It's expected around november 12th.

    I hope Eddy don't mind me linking a pic from his website but here's a peek:



    Looks like it's suitable for more than just one socket,just like the FuZion, Storm, etc.

    Knowing Eddy's products this block is gonna rock.

    If Eddie makes it, it will be damn sexy.

    Looking forward to seeing the inside shots.

    Looks like it will be a more high performance block with pins than EK's other blocks. There's no obvious proof but I'd guess it is, no point in another channel type block really.

    careful, one could say there's no real point in doing a lot of things these days

    regardless of what it turns out to be, it's at least more aesthetically-aligned to the rest of his product line.

    Ditto here.

    "If" the image above is an accurate representation, it would appear that the inlet is slightly off-center while the outlet is off to one side.

    An inside view would be interesting at the very least!

    We all want.

    I think it will be something in the lines of the fuZion/ Apogee GT, it's likely Eddy focused on making a block for quad and dualcores.

    Let's hope a nice and sturdy backplate comes as standard, we all know the importance of that yet.

    Damn, i almost regret buying a FuZion a month ago.

    Inside shots - lets hope (and i think he has due to the time frame this has taken) he's moved from the "wave" design to something more suitable.

    His GPU blocks are good, but the design will literally be blown out of the water on a CPU version by many other blocks.

    Cant wait for the inside pics as I know Eddy has spent a lot of time on this block so we should see some sweet internals and hopefully great temps

    No kidding..

    EK products are always top notch in quality construction, but I was hoping it would have been a multi-level block or at least a center inlet, but it's hard to say without seeing internals, perhaps there is a very thin midblock you can't see from the concept.

    Center nozzle type blocks have much lower pressure drops because the flow rate is split across the pins. That's why the GTX has a higher pressure drop because you have the full flow rate running across all the pins. A center inlet block splits out the flow and it also allows the coolest water and the downward motion of the water scrub the base better.

    Time will tell, always glad to see another top notch EK product. I just wish I had one of their CNC machines in my garage..

    Sure it will be Eddy, im just wondering if this is the jetblock I helped design with you 2 yrs ago and you finally decided to ditch OCZ's involvement?

    eddy

    i have my money ready to go for a fuzion with a nozzle kit...but I will wait for this if you can GUARANTEE that it will outperform the modded fuzion on my QX6700.

    is it designed for quads...do you have any peformance numbers or comparisons?
