WOW

Does anyone know if nikhsub1 or martinm210 has received a block for testing yet? I think that most of us here would trust their testing methods and data.
Until I see data from some independents such as these two I will continue to use my FuZion.

I have an EK Supreme that is on its way to me, which I plan on sending to Martinm210 once I receive it.

I also ordered an EK NB block, Mosfet blocks, and EK 3870 blocks.

I plan to send one of each for testing..

The blocks should be here in about 2 weeks.

I'm seeing an idle temp of 21/24/21/27 not sure on ambient, but they're low.

I'm not using the proper mounting hardware, I'm getting a different backplate that can take M4 sizes screws to use the mounting hardware provided.

**Garrett** · 01-12-2008, 09:49 AM

I already had a backplate with longer M4 screws (tapped it myself, was M3 originally)
No problem with the EK springs here, got them pretty much compressed at least halfway, the pressure the cpu must be going through *ouch*

Which backplate is this Garret? I'm not using the EK springs but wish to with the M4 bolts.

**marauder16** · 01-12-2008, 10:10 AM

I used some old, but great Scythe backplate, but used the screws from the Storm, tightened it down as much as I could.
About fuzion-supreme comparison, I think they are almost the same in performance, just guessing (that includes bowed, nozzled fuzion), but since Eddy's from Slo, it was much cheaper for me to get a Supreme, now I'm retweaking my system and having lots of fun with lower temps

(got what I expected, and getting roughly -10C in Small FFT load with any settings I tried)

Of course I'm speaking strictly from a common sense perspective, not a extreme XS perspective

andyc

LOL ANDY!!! your a XS person.. you cant say 1C isnt worth it!

also martin is working on something special right now. Something that we concieved and may allow someone whose on water to tune there water temps within a delta range of 4-8C. :T

But i'll leave it to him to show you guys what it is.

So the block now for sale at Petras, does it come with the new plate?

**JoeBar** · 01-12-2008, 03:01 PM

Eddy are u going to release tops as separate parts?

A backplate would be also a very nice addition...

Plus can u put a photo of the 775 plate on your site?

**hiwa** · 01-12-2008, 03:48 PM

This week i try to mount new kit by Ek , i had EK fullcover GTX and D_tek fuzion

ok it's not a photo but you get the idea

Don't think it will, as the plate has only been released a couple of days ago.

**Garrett** · 01-13-2008, 02:31 PM

No problem man, should be released already, if I'm not mistaking

**JoeBar** · 01-13-2008, 02:31 PM

Deleted by mistake...

**Qhs** · 01-13-2008, 02:32 PM

Now for some EK backplates.

I'll drink to that...

**Garrett** · 01-13-2008, 02:58 PM

Well there's always Cooler Master backplates... cost me 4,95 euro INCLUDING shipping lol... Stainless Steel and all... can't beat that price eh?

**Qhs** · 01-14-2008, 09:16 AM

Stand Alone Acrylic Plexi Top and the new 775 mounting plate up on EK webshop.

New 775 mounting plate

**TheJollyFellow** · 01-14-2008, 11:10 AM

about time!

Perhaps there'll be an option to buy the block with the acrylic top, rather than just separately?...

**Hardass** · 01-14-2008, 11:18 AM

Any idea when we will be able to get the block and new plate from a store here in the states?

I'd say maybe 1.5 weeks?
