Koolance Rampage III Extreme block

[Koolance]

We know that placing any fitting down with the slots could cause conflicts in some hardware configurations. It's not our preference, although it does reduce bridge pieces (lowers $, restriction) and other things. Normally, we try to keep all the fittings up near the CPU area.

well i think its better looking than the EK one and def better then MIPS one..

I plan on using 2 cards in sli and a sound card in the future.. so plenty of space !

BTW : Tnx waterlogged for that option of using the lower one as inlet.. opend a possibility to connect everything better !

I like the straight flow through design of the Koolance, seems like you'd get better water flow and hence greater cooling. The card space is troubling unless you only using the board for benchmarking where you'll only have either water blocks or LN2 pots on your GPUs.

Still, a tough call, but not gonna get the see through EK

It does its work well >_<

Stock (idle temps)



Koolance WB (under full load !)



Ambient temps are pretty much the same

Ill make more pics tommorow!

This is the reason I never went with the block as well. Even if it didn't block a video card it is going to make a routing nightmare for your tubing if you are using videocards down there.

Why?

Mind you I always prefer 2 loops, one for twin GPUs and one for CPU/MB

Twin loops (assuming a pump on bottom of case and rad at top of case): Rad -> MB (top barb) -> MB (bottom barb) -> pump -> CPU -> Rad seems fairly simply
