Does EK have GTX280 and HD4870 FC blocks coming soon ?

[Sparky]

I remember in another thread some issues people were having with watercooling the 4870. Does the EK block cover all the necessary chips properly? IIRC there was more than just the mosfets that needed cooled.

Lol if I could drain, take apart, rebuild and leak test in a lunch hour you would have your install pics

But if I don't get a speeding ticket around 5:00 illbe a happy camper muahah

After 1 month, I had some doubt that Ek release the waterblock for the ram on the gtx280 but finally, He will dot it



Nice work

I think that can be a problem with this ram block and memory slots on asus rampage formula. Or am i wrong ?

If it is not working on the rampage, it will not work on my maximus and on a lot of mobo. I will have the response this week

Edit : I've seen different pictures and I think (hope) It should fit. But that's true that the ram slot will be very closed from the waterblock.

Tomorrow i make some pics to show how that looks with my old 88gtx

I've also got the nickel 4870 block on the way. They're scarce tho! None at petra's, none in OZ, none in stock at EK!

PPCs had them tho

[Malik]

Some pics which show how small place is there ( gpu - mem slots on mobo ):

Yes, but without the corsaire ram cooler, I think It is ok (maybe with also)
I should receive my ram block this week. I will inform you If there is some issues or not.

[Malik]

That will be great because this is very important info for me.

You're lucky : I juste received my block this morning and finished to mount it. There is no problem with the ram slot. I can not take picture because I have no camera. The small part of the ram block (with a hole for a screw) come juste between the ram slot 2 and 3. I have 41°C in iddle with stock clock. More test latter. It is 14h30 and I have not eaten...

Edit : I don't believe that the corsaire cooler fit with the block.

Edit 2 : I have something wrong : in full, my temperature are worst than with the stock cooler. I have to check what happen.

Edit 3 : I think this is because I have only two metal o-ring with hole and I need one without for the junction between the two blocks. The liquid don't spread properly and pass more by the ram block who's less restrictiv.

frozencpu has em too

hehe yes, i spent 8 hours friday night cleaning every single part i could get with a Qtip and then rebuilding everything.

the hardest part was figuring out how to fill this new loop with a T-line. had never used one before. i finally came to the notion of opening the tline top, as well as the thermochill fill bolt on the top of the rad, and then slowly filling the system until coolant topped out of the rad have to have the radiator sitting with the fittings end on the bottom, and you also need to have the tline tube longer than the height of the rad. i should have taken a pic of that >< sorry. anyway, yay for atmospheric pressure!

for your enjoyment:

I tried two mounting and always very bad gpu temperature (more than 100°C in full). Print of thermal grease was ok. At the third mounting, when I would test the gpu block alone, I brake my gtx280
F*U*C*K*I*N*G day
Now, I use my 8800gtx
