EKWB and SF3D OC cooperation

[SF3D]

Hi all!

It is time to move on:


I just wanted to do this thread, so I can inform you all about the latest changes in my pot production.
My cooperation with polish overclocker ryba is over and the current products I have been selling since 2010 (SF3D OC Inflection point and Triple point) will not exist anymore in their previous form.
There is still some undelivered samples, but after some time you can not buy the original ones anymore.

New names and cooler designs will be out soon. There will be also completely new models, which I have not been able to produce before (GPU pot etc.), so those should be interesting choices for the users.

This is very good thing for everyone who like high quality and good performance with decent price. Availability will be worldwide as there is already 43 countries included in to sales channel.

Here is the news about the cooperation in EKWB webstite:

So, stay tuned folks!

Thanks Petri, looking forward to seeing new stuff so keep us updated.

Lets just hope the top of the ln2 pot will be the only circle in the design

[SF3D]

Yes Charles, I will update this thread as soon as first new pots are out.

Dearest Dope_chaud. I don't get what you mean by your post in here and facebook.
My design have been round, cause it have been cheaper to produce that way. It does not hurt performance as you don't need internal volume in pots or you don't get any benefit from the edges of square shape.
The internal design have been based on grooves, which are the best solution for expanding gas bubbles like boiling LN2. If there is no room to expand gas will push LN2 away from the surface and you will loose power handling.

You can see how the old design looked like from this picture (unfinished in cnc mill):


If there was other issues just let me know.

SF3D, i think he just dislikes the new EK block design with the cirle pattern on delrin tops, that's all...


Nice design, btw

[SF3D]

Ahh yes, now I see what he meant.

Well, we will see how they will look like

[Buckeye]

Its funny how many complain about Ek's circle patterns on the new designs, but I sure see a lot of people using their blocks.

Nice work SF3D and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with

[jimba86]

should be good to see what comes of this.

[Ivanlabrie]

Any news regarding this collaboration yet?

[SF3D]

We finished the new Inflection point design last week and I should see some samples in next week or week after that. If everything is OK in our internal testing, products will be available soon.
These products need to fulfill all the expectations, so they will come out when they are ready for real

Stay tuned!

[M.Beier]

Congratulations Petri.
This is indeed very good news for your customers, much more reliable delivery (which sometimes were unstable, according to what one reads), after all EKWB is very well established, hope things will work out well for you.

Oh, and hope this will mean lower production cost, and.... Lower prices for the interested - next up would be lower LN2 prices
Nice move!

[jimba86]

Does this mean I will be able to buy your pots where EKWB is sold?

[SF3D]

Does this mean I will be able to buy your pots where EKWB is sold?

Yes, they will be available in all 43 countries directly and from EKWB web shop. The whole world is pretty much covered

I should get first samples in to my hands next week and if all is OK, they will be for sale immediately
Just wait and see.

[MTP04]

Sounds good SF3D...looking forward to the new designs!

[tiborrr]

Pot samples on my desk already, will be sending it to SF3D for further validation while I do mine. Thankfully the Messer plant is only about ~5km away from EK Water Blocks headquarters

It is ready! SF3D OC Inflection point EVO by EKWB



This product will make many people happy as insulation will be done totally new way. There will be some extra stuff coming, what I will show later.
This picture is from early sample, so take that in to account

I hope you like it! I sure do!

[Buckeye]

Now that looks very interesting, going to show us how that works ?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

very interested to see this new insulation method. . .

[MTP04]

very interested to see this new insulation method. . .

+1

Looks like the round part is basically a large nut that would spin down a threaded base??

[Calathea]

go go petri, show us some more

[ChanceCoats123]

I want moar pictures!

[SF3D]

Pictures and info will come out during next week. I and EKWB people were busy because of CeBIT 2013, which was held last week in Hannover Germany.
We don't want to rush with these products as they are meant to be perfect

Estimated price? I like the looks of this, a lot. It might be time to retire my old pots
