If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig
Bribery won't work on me...just say NO to AT!!!
Aww, we're not that crazy... besides, it's fun.
I has pie, that work?
Meh, besides, I'm with Waterlogged on this one. A GPU block being a degree or three better than another isn't going to mean jack squat when it comes to the vast majority of users overclocking their cards. Additionally, comparing GPU-only blocks to full-cover blocks while trying to maintain a "controlled" environment is a problematic proposition.

pressure drops and temps from 1 or 2 mounts (not the usual 8 or whatever craziness vapor does : P ). I agree that as long as one of the blocks isn't some crazy 10c over the others it is pretty irrelevant.
I really wouldn't expect a FC roundup from anyone that would be a LOT of effort and variables. An mcw-60/80, Fuzion gfx2, etc would be nice.

Fairly soon I would suppose as it is already in testing and it has no NDA

I like this. Can't wait to see more pictures of the actual block.

So it looks a little different but it seems to perform better then my mcw60's as well (no idea what the loop is but assuming) What other differences are there and how long has that 58xx uni sink been out im interested in the series if i can get the unisink
GTX480 mounting and a copper/brass top possible?
GTX 480 has identical mounting to G80 series.
Sig is under construction
Just found this picture of the inside:
looks pretty similar to the apogee XT...
I suppose this is the best / most expensive GPU-only-block around atm?
Does anyone have an idea how much of a difference this block would make compared to my old DD Maze 4 GPU block on my 5870 GPU?
I'm kinda doubting if it is worth it to buy a new block for it...
Thanks!

Yep, thats what it looks like inside.
I actually have the block.

I'm having a heck of a time with mine on my 470's. I've tried remounting them, even with fresh thermal paste but it seems like it's not making proper contact.
Everytime I remount it and power up the loop I get about 4 minutes before the gpu fan ramps up to 100%. I kill it in fear that I'm overheating the card(s). I'm gonna start my own thread, if anyone wants to help.

its a cheap solution but with a full block vrm would not hit 35c but for the core i doubt a full block will be better

so does anyone know how it compares to my ancient Maze 4 GPU block? (or how my block compares to other more recent blocks?)
I wonder if much has changes for GPU blocks in those years... If it is actually worth it to buy a new block...
thanks!
