Heya guys
1. EK 680i mosfet block fits PERFECTLY on the EVGA 750i FTW

After reading that I ordered the block...

So did I!

So did I!

Oh outstanding I was not the only one. I should have waited, oh well. Will make a nice paper weight!

Had the new SB-VGA-790i delivered today let's hope it fits!

The block will fit two ways, although as you'll see below..... only one way will work ok....

The block clears the component that was blocking the EK-NF4 rev1.1 ok



However having the block with the barbs between the Gfx slots is not possible with EK/D-Tek barbs, one of them touches the waterblock on the GFX card (8800 Ultra)





Lets hope it fit's the other way better.....



Having the block this way does give a better fit, however it is very tight to the GFX card and large 1/2" compression/ fat/wide boy barbs will probably not fit......



With 1/2" D-Tek barbs there seems to be enough space for 7/16" hose , maybe 1/2" (3/4" OD) hose





I wouldn't want to use Steel Worm Drive clip on these barbs, shorting on the GFX card would be a sure thing!

So this seems to be the best way to use the block on this board, all I need now is to sort out the Mosfet block?

I decided to try placing a 3mm copper plate between the Mosfet block and the Mosfet chips.

The copper plate was cut wider than the mosfet block so that it would cover all the mosfet chips.





I used thermal tape to attach the copper plate to the mosfet block.







The block and copper plate fitted fine The only problem now is that I need to get some longer screw to attach the block with.

N1 Marquis. I have a bunch of copper plates floating around. Guess i will try it out.

Block does make a nice paper weight though

Still waiting on my 790 block. Ordered it from EK a few weeks ago. Still not here.

Re the SB cooler, couldn't you use the worm clips with some of that insulating/isolating sponge that normally protects the surround chips on the nortbridge? Or how about some shrinkwrap? I don't know what to use on mine as I don't like using unclamped tubing
