    Wow, this block is IMPRESSIVE. Seriously nice work MIPS! This is the block for me .

    I think I'm starting to see why so few places are willing to make board specific Gigabyte blocks, it's quite a design feat.

    Where/ when can I get it?

    Yeah all of these combination blocks are restrictive. I would much rather prefer just having the nb water cooled and the copper transferring the heat from the sb. I'm not too sure if you get what I mean lol.

    Still I would love that on a 3/8 loop with my video cards and keep the CPU on a second loop 7/16 - 5/8'th

    I like the stepped design, I think it maximizes the space available,,

    So where can i buy themmm, they would look great on my modified MM Duality turned to do 1 motherboard horizontal.,...

    You can buy them by www.mips-computer.de or later by www.aquatuning.de .
    They ship worldwide.
    Will take one or two weeks more till they are in the shop but first pieces are allready available.
    Here on XS a groupbuy is running http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=210836.
    Maybe also a possibility.

    Wonder what the $AU price will be?

    hi
    they look great
    but you need the nb / sb and 2 morfit coolers which add up to £160
    i would of like just the nb/sb but what do you do about the morfits
    (except cutting the heat pipes)
    the other question is do you really need to cool these item with water
    i used to do with amd / nvidia chip set but ran v hot
    i like the fuzion block used on the extreme but i have the ud5
    my mistake but still v happy with 21 x200 = 4200
    also i think you would have to run two loops

    I count NB/SB (one block) plus two mosfet blocks Euro137,7 = £124,7252 + shipping.
    Maybe its possible to get a used heatpipe from a EX58 Extreme and use the fusionblock ?

    Dunno, maybe he included fittings in the cost.

    Anyway, just ordered from aquatuning, I'm so excited it's almost embarassing.

    Ordered the nb /sb combo block, as well as two mosfet blocks and compression fittings to go with.

    I'm going to make a second loop with a pa120.1, ddc3.2 and the mips blocks as I don't fancy adding more resistance to the main loop.
