Here is our new block, designed for the GTX 260/280 cards... you can get it nowThe acrylic pic you see below is a prototype version, shipping version is black delrin.

Also, the pics don't really show it, but it also includes a unique backplate to cool memory. (and aids in the transfer of heat from the backside to the front)
Works in 2-way and 3-way configs also

It looks very massive...

what kind of fittings are those on the 3-way config? the block looks very good itself, and i still think those "E" are super creative
price? pre-installed cards?
Block 179.99
Pre-installed $879.99.
Yes the bleeding edge hurts.
could you show a pic of the backplate cooling the back ram?
and what's the actual thickness of the block? thanks

3-way fittings are a type of interlocking plug that are specifically fit to the space in between cards, weight of the block is about 3lbs.
Also you can find pictures of the backplate here:

Wow 1,36 kg...
That is heavy...
EK basic block should weight about 0,63 kg which is 1,37lbs.
Copper is heavy and very expensive.
The part that we are making the block weights over 2kg.
But we mill out as much unneeded copper as possible to make it lighter.

Block and the oc of the card are nice

I'm a little disappointed that the video card is not matching the 9800GX2, but great job on the video card and water block anyway!
wouldn't it flow better if the block had more well rounded bends ? The bends look a little angular and jagged.

Very nice looking block, I wondered how long it would be before vid card manufacturers got into the WB business.
Eddie still has the sexiest blocks on the planet.

nice block... 1kg is heavy tri-sli wouldn't bend the mobo would it?
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
I would think horizontal positioning of the mobo would be the best.

Nice, but too rich for my blood. Thanks for the heads up though.
By the name of Jesus himself! 30 of those blocks in a box would be just as heavy as me!
few questions for eddy and evga rep
firstly to evga
can i buy that back plate separately and will it fit with other water blocks?
you market "multiple patents pending" so what are they? and what is there significance? for example, what is "co-op technology"?
when will you have some numbers?
what kind of warranty exists on the card? lifetime? same as waterblock?
do you guys take time to put the thermal paste on by hand and make sure the block fits smoothly by testing it?
eddy:
can you make some back plates like this for extra? maybe 1/4' think and covers the entire backside of the card? it can be sold separately, i would buy it
why does the weight matter? isn't more copper, more heat distribution better?
Evga claims they have very low restriction, i hear, not from experience, that your blocks are somewhat restrictive... what are the cost and benefits to ur cards over evga? will you have more surface area, etc etc
thank you both for acknowledging my existence, and answering my somewhat dumb questions, take care, peace
edit: also evga, is ur cooler 1 slot or 2 slots? if it's 1 slot then how come you didn't use the single slot PCI expansion slot sover...

Does the GTX 260 and GTX 280 share the same block ?
From what I've heard, yes.
