780i SPP/NF200 (NB) Water Block from Viper John - Finally!!

[ViperJohn]

John, are most waterblocks finished while assembled like you do with your blocks to minimize distortion? I would assume not but just curious?

Normally no. The 780i SPP/BF200 WB is a special case though where you have to have a very
large copper base to be able pick up both chip dies with both of those die well off center of
the mounting hole pattern. Heck the NF200 die is completely outside the mounting hole pattern
and the base in cantilevered out over that die.

John, I read good things about your 780i mosfet heatsinks. Are you planning to make a set for the 790i reference mobo?

Well the mosfet heat sinks for the 680/780i will not work thats for sure. I can easily make mosfet
heat sink sets to fit a reference 790i no problem. I just need a reference 790i motherboard to get
the measurements from.

Who ever sends me one first to get the measurements from will get their heat sink set for free.
They just have to pay for the shipping.

bump from hell!

Anyone using Koolance compression fittings with this block (or any other brand of compression fittings for that matter)? If so did you leave the stock recessed o-ring on plus the o-rings provided with the block?

The standard machining on the water block is not compatible with Koolance nozzles
or any hose barb the has a recessed o-ring in the hose barb itself. I can machine/
remachine so they can be used though.

I assume using a barb with a recessed o-ring will leak?

That is correct. There is one exception that I know of. I do bore the ID's of the SwifTech hose barbs I install and they fall into the large bore, hi-flow class after doing so.
