Very glad to hear it all worked out and you're happy with your card+block!
I just finished my water cooling system in my sig, my GTX 480 with the EK block idles at 28-36C (night/day) at room temp 73F. I am amazed at the very strong water turbulence in the top of my res, I had to fill it a few milimeters from the top so that the turbulence wouldn't create bubbles that would otherwise travel through my water cooling loop. Time to start overclocking!
@Skinnee:
Hi Skinnee, I know you have an estimator for flow rates that does not cover the GTX480 radiator so what is your best guess at my flow rates given the extreme turbulence in my res? I need to get a good quality flow rate meter!

Hello Guys,
Iīve got a Testsample from the new Innovatek GTX480 Waterblock, so you can have a look at some internals from this expensive block:

That looks like the old Storm series blocks. They were awesome IIRC for monolithic cores (which today's GPU's are, but CPU's are not).
Very curious to see what happens.
Wow, what an awesome yet very weird design. I'd really like to see how it performs .
Little expense had been spared to create the impression that no expense had been spared. - Hitchhiker's GuideMondays:It's better to ask dumb questions now, than to look stupid later
Those compression fittings on this block look wierdly not leveled, as in they were some 15deg angled fittings.
Pitty about aluminium though, i doubt to see customers buying top hardware, which gtx480 are, and buying waterblocks where manufacturer has skimped on block material for less weight/cheaper manufacturing. Otherwise block inner structure looks interesting.

Where oh where do I begin...or maybe it's better if I don't?
Circles SucQ!
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!!!
That would be nice but...no... this IS the final 200 Euro Waterblock, what you see above Only the core is nickel plated copper.
There is a discussion since many years about the inno blocks - itīs because of the prices and why they still using Alu
There is afaik 1 test available, where this block is included.
Itīs not in english, but iīm sure you can check out the results charts -> Last Place in GPU Temp :

@churchy: The pic with those EK fittings is a demonstration to show you guys, that 16/10mm (5/8") fittings are to big for this block without using adapters

bundymania: If it's common to all innovatek waterblocks, it looks like someone@innovatek that makes decisions about material choice is not doing his job at studying market / target customers properly. LC is such a niche, where most users are tech savy enough with doing their homework about reading on LC & possible issues topic. So i'm guessing that alu instead of copper automatically results in just 1/5 (who knows, maybe even less) of sold block volume that could have been, as aluminium blocks is like big red stop sign for many LC-ers out there. Era of zalman aluminium waterblocks has passed long time ago.
Zalman, LOL!
