OH MY GOD!!!

THE FIRST REVIEW OF EK VGA SUPREME!!!

THX vkbms for the review!!!

THX Eddy for has created the WB!!!

[NaeKuh]

Holy batman!

Look at the flow drop!

i will seriously laugh at people who will attempt a single loop CPU with SLI using these blocks.

it have same base

[Eddie3dfx]

Gorgeous block, but probably no need for the plate.

[gazmtk]

rip the plate out, it wont hurt performance much and will give back the flow

[twwen2]

I'm tempted to do this to my CPU Supreme. Do you reckon i'll lose much performance, given the increase in flowrate?

Hmm. Not sure what i think about the VGA block. It's a little complex for a VGA block imo. Good to finally see a review though.

[Baleful]

Wow, no 3 way SLI with this that's for sure.

[vkbms]

I'm the reviewer...

I'll repeat the pressure drop testing without the accelerator plate to check the gain....

If temperature goes up by 1-2° but the pressure drop goes down remarkablly i'll think that's a better way to use the block.

If it is anything like the Supreme, I think you will be pleasantly surprised
Ohhh and removing the plates increases Flow drastically, and when has a GPU needed great cooling, so even if it does rise over 2° it wont hurt the performance of a GPU

I Totally agree....

[septim]

probably need a revised plate. nice testing.

[AndrewZorn]

How is that hold-down plate worthy when it is missing a side? Seems like it would be super flimsy.

[LOUISSSSS]

sorry for bumping this thread, but how does this gpu block compare to the MCW60 R2?

[pokazene_maslo]

I'm interested when can be expected EK VGA Supreme HF?

[Onoff312]

Swiftech dominates this market i am fairly sure probably not worth ek releasing.

[Tackleberry]

i m sure eddy will rethink this statement

[blazarcher]

Wow, no 3 way SLI with this that's for sure.

Well.. that depends. If you've got a separate loop for your GPU's with Triple DDC's, I'm pretty sure you'll do fine.

At least you have the option of having a pressure plate to begin with.

If it performs anything like the Supreme HF I'll take one

[omegatotal]

im thinking about ordering one and using it in a single loop with cpu, but im not worried about the flow drop since my loop will be all of about 14-17" total distance wort of pipe, and not OC just noise reduction.


i am curious to know if anyone has tested to see if there is a significant difference in the flow rate / temp with the accelerator plate removed??

did you read http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?t=253337?

Irrespective of the fact that this block is made by a competitor, and that your remark is presented humourously, I feel that it contributes in spreading a myth. If this block performs decently well at low flow, then all you have to do is setup the blocks in parallel. Look at my data, it applies to this block as well.
