New EK CPU block!!

[SiGfever]

I think on the board it would look clean, sort of like Ianh's custom block. The mounting plate is all down at the board level.

I would loose the springs and tall studs though, just keep it low profile. Personal preference, but I just don't like mounting plates with a zillion holes in them....I understand the economics of it, but it takes the custom out of water cooling for me. Sort of like those custom car wheel with 4 lug studs that have 8 holes for two different sizes...not for me.

Not sure on mounting pressure, being down low like this may help ensure a centered alignment on the chip, I can only think it would help mounting consistency some.

Anyhow sorry to be off topic, back to some EK stuff. I hope Eddie is still considering me for pressure drop testing when the new nozzles for the EK come out. I'd like to see a pressure drop and thermal performance of each plate..

Me too.

I think about cut this screws ( to get out this springs ) and hard mount, like swiftech blocks
