i want a silver MCP chipset block.

Why cant a company make a silver chipset block? Something you can keep in loop and act as a biocide.

Being a chipset block it would be small, and wouldnt require much mass or quantity.


I dream of this. And im sure those of us that run straight distilled would jump all over this.

Chipset block? Id settlefor just a freekin Silver plug cap, or a Brass one with a Silver core facing the water. Just use it to plug a hole in the res and it will work for every loop you ever make :P

OK So I am trying to install the DD backplates now but it seems I am missing 3 screws for each backplate? Has anyone put these on yet and did it come with the screws for you? I have the seven screws that go through the backplate and screw into the actual waterblock but then there are 3 more holes in between the barbs that I have no screws for? I checked to see if one of the seven screws they shipped with the unit would work and they do not thread in? So looks like I am bringing my waterblock to the local hardware store(Trial and error time).

I would like to take this time to thank DB for his efforts in working as a s#%t filter on our behalf. I would like to see better pics of DD blocks the one on their web site shows it on a card but no view of the actual working side of the block this is what I want to see and they still have not posted a pic of their backside plate, EK has a w/c back plate for this card the evga one uses a heat pipe, you can buy the evga block on new egg price 159.99 after mail in rebate, I myself will get the evga gtx260 core216 hc16 as an early Christmas gift for my self 494.99 usd. @the egg not bad if you figure in the price of the SC card (309.99) and the w/c block.
One question does anyone have a n.b. water block that will work on an Asus P5N-D (750i chip)??

I do have a DD GTX280 block with the copper backplate on a BFG GTX280 OC. Got the card a few weeks after it's release. Fit perfectly, been running it for a few months now. The backside is milled nicely, all screw holes were good and the backplate snugged down just fine. My temps at ambient 28C idle were 39C GPU and PCB temp 33C. Load comes in at 45C using Furmark at 1680x1050 (22" monitor).

Temps are good, I'm sure the other FC block makers come close to the same temps.

This block worked for me just fine.

Ohh, I haven't OC the card yet, just no need to now.

Edit, ran Furmark again temps got to 51C, still awesome.

well the mods can probably delete 2 pages here...

well you guys who have those dd gtx280/260 full cover blocks, how about some pictures.... including that copper backplate, hope it doesn't short anything...

When I do my semi annual cleaning and we get another camera I'll post pics of the inside, outside, backside, and inside out. December I think.m
