and watercooling the ram is pretty much useless, ramsinks with some air are sufficient to cool it. Even if you want to watercool the memory, why dont you just make a full plate block like the stealth.

So?Originally Posted by Aldy402
Anybody know where I can get a schematic of the boards layout?
.
so????
well I can't speak for everybody but i'll speak for myself
1) cost. thats 2 blocks and 1 set of ramsinks your paying for.. it will total over 100 bucks and the ramsinks cost about 13-15 bucks for the MC14s
2) two separate blocks means 2 ins and 2 outs. more unnecessary tubing/restriction..
i5 2500k @ 4.6ghz 1.335v [ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe]
8gb gskill ripjaws f3-12800cl8-8gbxm
600gb velociraptor + 1TB black
MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II + x-fi xtrememusic
corsair hx-620w + lian li pc201b + dell 2408fpw
d-tek fuzion1/ddc2 + petra top/thermochill pa120.3
So use your common sense and think about it.

So what would the pricing be like? $100+? might aswell get an ek?
I like it!
Asus Z9PE-D8 WS with 64GB of registered ECC ram.|Dell 30" LCD 3008wfp:7970 video card
LSI series raid controller
SSDs: Crucial C300 256GB
Standard drives: Seagate ST32000641AS & WD 1TB black
OSes: Linux and Windows x64
Maybe but unlike a EK, you can just update one of the parts separately instead of tossing all and get a full new set.
oh really? i think the EK waterblock looks is way sexier.

I agree, I have one on my way for my 8800GTS. I'm just stating the reason of Gabe's choice.
If the ram sink is cheap, ill buy it.
The EK block looks like a redesigned FC79
man can anyway say copy??heres some pics of AC's plexi top, taken from their forums
I still rekon the ek looks better and most probably will perform better aswell...
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
Seriously. AC users first bash EK products. Now AC blatantly copies EK's style AND makes the move to copper. Where did all the pro-Alu people go??

One solution would be
a Swiftech MCW60-R + Swiftech MC8800 SMC http://www.coolerkit.dk/product.asp?...6&sub=5&page=1..
But if you as i am running with a radbox and minimum number of chassi fans inside this will only end up with alot of heat spreading within the chassi.
but that would probably end up within the same price range as a full cover block.
like this one http://www.aqua-computer-systeme.de/...oducts_id=1848
I liked the new swiftech solution, a couple of F-fittings on top of that it would be great! But hopefully you sell it as a packet not in seperate parts because that would probably be expensive! but maybe your idea with this product is to reach out to users already equipped with a MCW60 block so they dont have to turn your backs for a fullcover block, just upgrade their current setting. A good idea thou to think about when finishing up this as a final product is to add F-Fittings and the small ram-sinks and maybe a couple of those small hoses =P
