EK-full-cover watercooled 9800GX2 reviewed

[fornowagain]

It's lacquer coated copper wire, 100% insulated, always worked like a charm

Ah right, enamelled wire the stuff for coil windings. I like the sound of that, what gauge? Maybe 33SWG?

I would like to see you geting a single-stage unit, capable of handling 3x ~ 250W = ~ 750W of thermal load @ some frosty subzero temperatures. Even 2x 150W @ -20°C is a very nice achievement with some ordinary reciprocracy compressors, not to mention 750W. I'm talking about direct die unit with three evaporators, not a water chiller unit.

If you show me a builder that can build an affordable 3-head single-stage phase change cooler unit that can hold a load of ~ 750W @ -20°C (that means ~ 5 ~ 10°C ++ on the core temperatures) under full load, i'll give my hate off.

performance is more of a concern to me than the price if were talking about phase change units... but it would be nice to pay a budget range price for a high quality unit.

Not to mention the mounting accessories for the two 9800GX2 cards...

Ill have some rough estimates this week if your interested. Just shoot me a PM.

[Nosfer@tu]

that is 207.182 USD

Id be better off getting a custom block for that much..... or even investing the $207.182 into a phase change unit capable of 9800GX2 SLI load.... (actually for SLI its double that... so $414.364!!!!!)

That will never happen.
Remember, It is only so expensive for you because the $ is at all time low!

Thats some very thin wire on the volt mod, has that any insulation?

ok, thats OT: great ava fornowagain! was TCOM already broadcasted on SkyOne in the UK? one of my professors has parkinson's desease as well and it's very scary. it always hits the wrong people.

Nice, I got most of that article with my czech. I find that written, slovan languages, apart from russian, are easier to understand than when spoken.

yeah, just like dutch is to me. I don't understand much if someone tries to talk to me in dutch, but I can read most of it because most of my relatives speak "plattdeutsch", which is a bit like dutch.

cause Americans are spoiled

I wasn't going to say it...

But that price situation made me order my GTS block for California, and I can drive to you guys in 2hrs
Talk about globalisation

[metachronos]

What kind of rad would you need to wc two in SLI? Would you need a triple or could you get by with just a double?

It's in Slovenian language, but you'll get the most of it - lot's of popular games tested:
- Pictures of water block & overclocking with it: Page 7
- Game & 3DMark tests: Page 3 to 6

I can sum up in english language if you would like so.

Uhm...
Can you tell me what freqs you see on water, without vgpu.... THereby I mean, default voltage... : - )
I think the block looks sweet =)

you have a point there...
