New Block from Bitspower

[slim142]

I wish I had $600 in hand to buy a Rampage II Extreme and a 940. Also another $200 to buy a Nehalem block and a new NB block.

Unfortunately, that is not the case thats why Im planning on keeping my Striker II Extreme for some time...

and just where are you pulling the these price tags?



try 250-300 for the board, doesnt need to be a rampage.

try 250-300 on the cpu.
<about right but how much is your 790i + Quad cpu>

Try 15 dollars for the i7 mount on your existing block.



talk about inflation.

I should have said $700 or maybe $800
i7 940 is going to be ~$260. Rog boards go $50 higher each time a new one is releaed. I expect the Rampage II to be $450-$500 (keeping in mind S2E was $460 at release).

There you have it, $700-$800 on two components. For people like me, there is absolutely no point on upgrading to i7 unless you have $ trees on your backyard.

Why should I go for i7? Why spend another $700-800 on a new CPU & motherboard?
My Striker never gave me problems unlike 50% of the people out there.

Now I bet there are many like me who want this block because they know that the Striker II will remain a strong performer for a good next couple of months.

Man, if I wasn't so tight on cash right now I'd almost be tempted to pick up the 790 block on the off chance that it actually will fit on the 780 board... That damned NB heatsink is about the only component left in my case that isn't using water or passively cooled.

Here is a picture of my 790i FTW PWM bitpower mosfet and the bistpower n/s bridge coolers:

I had the extra kookance compression fittings. And for every 90 degree it is equal to an extra foot of tubing. The koolance tech gave me that info.

Finished and mounted! Thanks Bitspower and Vincent! I couldn't have done it without you're help!!! and the D-plug sli-fittings are so sickening cool for my Tri-sli!!!

[ShoNuff]

crossover8 nice rig! I like the black tubing. Any more pics?

[Zeus]

That is one very cool and expensive setup you've got there! Really nice, shame the 3 vga cards are covering most of that beautifull bp block.

[sundaysinner]

Any word on these for the 780i vincent?I would appreciate any info.

[metachronos]

Anyway to use just the NB/SB block for the Striker 2 Extreme and leave the other mofset sinks as is? I want to keep my lighted ROG thingy.
