Is there a Full Cover block from Copper for this monster ??

GigaByte X58 Xtreme,
*************************
Danger Den and EK will make them. Just be patient (it got released just yesterday !!)
I also realized it's probably the only card which make using a full cover block mandatory. I cannot imagine fitting 2 MCW60 and Enzotech ramsinks due to the way they are built unless you use a extension kit to widen the gap.
Darthbevis, where can a guy get benching station like the one in your pictures?
DD Torture Rack ?
I'm looking for a nice benching station that can be left set up and not have my kids destroy something when I'm not looking. There was one in the watercooled case gallery, that had dual 120.3's running vertically on the sides that was nice, I'll see if I can locate the post number for reference.
Here it is: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=7473
Oops, I see it clearly states what he is using. I would assume that it has been modified.

Mine is a custom job by DD but they sell these which are better benching stations:

they can special make a top and front for you as well if you call
I know, I just stepped up my 8800 Ultra for one, can't go wrong for $26 shippped... Now I have to sell my Ultra KO and my two EK nickel blocks so I can get my second GX2. With my extra parts I have I can almost make a second system, sad thing is everything is less than six months old. I upgrade way too much...

I'd say no dice on the spacer kit idea unless that ribbon cable connecting the two cards is not only removable but replaceable with a longer version. There seems to be zero slack in the one that comes with the card. Actually it does look removable. So maybe there's a chance. I think the spacer method would have to be the cheapest and maybe the best solution.Originally Posted by ownag
I seems to me it would be something of a challenge to get a waterblock to make good contact with the cores on the inside of the sandwich. What about the RAM chips etc....?
I just installed 2 EK X2 blocks in the past two days and they touch everything that needs to be touched.
But for some reason, sliding the cooling into the middle of the sandwich doesn't inspire too much confidence.
Does anyone have pics of the GX2 naked yet?

Also as you can see from the pics, you cannot widen the gap between the cards to fit two standard blocks unless you can find a longer version of the ribbon cable they use

If I had one of thoses, I would put 2 regular waterblocks facing each other (if that could fit), ramsinks on the mems, vrms etc and some silent fans cooling it.
Are we there yet?
