[Fragger]

i just wish they have a retailer here in the us...

40euro shipping is just not fair practice...

Fair practice? An average order from the US costs me $60us or $120nz..........

LOL! $227 delivery plus $120 customs duty to get my Extended Ascension in the UK.

Another $150 delivery plus $72 customs duty for an order from PPCs.

In total, a whooping $539 in delivery charges and customs so far for this build.

€40... LOL...

Here we go:





both coolers nickel plated silver. (made by another company)

[JOCKTHEGLIDE]

how are the temps???

[peebee]

Must take a look at the temps, when I am home again. Both cards are together with the NB-Block in one loop with a Nexxxos Extreme III Triple Rad. Not just perfect, maybe a better Rad in the near future.

Are the inlets on top or can you choose?
A pic of the top would be nice

I must say the cards look really sexy with those blocks installed

[peebee]

Of course you can choose, but left is the inlet and right is the outlet (parallel in and parallel out)

[aka_GK]

this connector looks awesome

[Gadgeteer57]

Best connector ever?

[Garrett]

yeah Bitspower ftw fittings
I have one as well, very useful

Hmm just thinking... if you run 2 or even 3 cards parallel then the water would flow via one inlet through 2 or 3 cards simultaneously, so would that mean less restriction?

[Mabyboi]

question.... doesnt the g200b series also fit the gtx 260 55nm?? i would LOVE to get this block for my gtx 260

I agree now I regret buying the koolance version when the heat killers have a adapter that lets you pick and choose the inlet and outlet.

[peebee]

You can only pick upside or downside. Inlet must be on the left and outlet on the right.

@mabyboi: The GTX 260 55nm is a little bit complicated. Too many non-reference designs, Watercool decided not to make a waterblock.... Thanks to NVIDIA and all the manufacturers who wanted to save money.

Im sooooo jelous Peebee, those blocks are just gawjus.

craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap, i wonder if i can get in contact with a manufacturer for a 100% answer...... i could have sworn i saw that the g200b would work :S.... thanks though!

[peebee]

Thx guys.

For more pics, just click on the link in my sig. I also have pics from the whole board installed in my cube now.
(on the last pages for sure)

[RCG_Bex]

I know it's parallel but that's sexy and clean! And I suppose with it's own pump in a single loop, the flow loss wouldn't be quite so apparent...

Hi Guys!

I just bought their CPU-Block an gave it away to be nickel plated.
That is the yummy result

Hey peebee, nice block!
Does this block was nickel plated inside too? Does nickel plating affects on fitting threads and overall perfomance of the block?
BTW how much it (plating) costs?

sorry for too much questions

[mindspat]

Those nickle plated Hk's looking ing awesome!

[noobzed]

is it possible to nickel plated mobo heatsink ?

[peebee]

Nickel plating does not affect the performance or Threads because it is only a few "my" thick. it is so thin, you can´t measure it.
Simply all stuff can be nickel plated. It should be copper or aluminium. I don´t know which materials else, but I think steel is a problem.

Costs are totally different. Better ask a company in your country. I paid 9€ per Part. Heatkiller consists of 3 Parts, so I paid 27€ + shipping.

peebee
thx for your answer!
