Pure :banana::banana::banana::banana: Aka bitspower! (pics)

[Martinm210]

Now those are gorgeous looking, but we need some for X38/48 boards...

Yes!!

Blocks are georgeous, there's just something about all metal blocks that I like! But after going from my 680i to my DFI, I think I'm officially a DFI fanboi. I've just never had such a good stable board before..I'm spoiled now.

Would love to see some of that all metal goodness on the DFI X48 mosfet..

any internal pics of this?

Possibly soon, if not from Vincent sooner.

[NaMcO]

Those coolers look absolutely superb. The colour is just awesome!

[eXa]

You guys are going to get me into some serious trouble!!

My wife accidently moved the mouse on my machine at home and saw the liquid cooling forum page.

The first thread says "Pure Pr0n aka Bitspower (pics)" She thought that the forum is frequented by some sexpot named BitsPower.

She looked through every post in this thread and then called me

{This is true.. not Friday humor, although its pretty darn funny}

Lmao... u know what i find truly funny..? That she actualy red the entire thread and still called you...

Probably to make fun of him for reading a thread called "Pure :banana::banana::banana::banana:" that had no :banana::banana::banana::banana: in it.

I said that in XS, BitsPower is also known as Bitty (Bit@h) Power. Rofl

Of course, bigslappy's avatar picture only makes matters worse!

[bluphysted]

So, am I correct in saying that if you're in for one, you're in for them all.

To fit that sexy N/S bridge block, you need to remove the passive heatpipe sync from the 790i, which in turn includes the mosfets.

Yeah?

[slim142]

Wow finally!!!!!!!!!!
Yeahhhhh

Now... just waiting for Sidewinder to get the ASUS in stock

[zlojack]

Nice stuff from Bitspower. I ordered some of their swivel L-fittings for my rebuild. Now I need more and they're sold out everywhere!

[slim142]

Omg, why is this taking so long?

I have a question for Vincent
Will 1/2 compression fittings fit in the block for ASUS?

[terente0081]

Where can I get these 790i blocks in Europe? Any retailers?

[Philly_Boy]

I checked PPC's yesterday....no luck :-(

[bigslappy]

@ BP-Vincent === any News on the blocks for the Asus Rampage Formula == Thanx !

[Spawne32]

hot lookin but horrid design for cooling on that northbridge/southbridge combo

[Bojamijams]

To be fair, the neck between the NB and SB, seems really thin. I think it would be quite restrictive.

Didn't get a chance to see it, does the water go that far down?

[slim142]

Agreed on that mcoffey
Besides, it looks sick and the SB doesnt really need that much cooling, as long as it doesnt affect the NB, then is cool.

Man, I will be done buying stuff in one more week and I really hope this blocks gets at least an ETA soon!

[slim142]

Yes, I also planned on having a fan on the SB (evercool gpu 40mm fan)
But with this, I know I will be able to do Tri-SLI (if I do it anyday) and one less fan

Now, if I could only hear one word from Vincent...

[Pellepel]

Yeah,

But I'd still like to have a all in one if it works half way decent. If for no other reason, just so I didn't have to listen to the SB fan, or worry about GPU clearence over the SB. Akward position on the Nvidia ref boards, that's for sure, so it would be nice to have that taken care of with the NB block IMO.

I'm not worried about flow to awefull much, the block will be in it's own loop with the mosfets if I decide to cool them.

andyc

Yeah I had the same idea. I don't really care about flow too much since it will be in its own loop. I just want that NB fan out of there, its so freakin loud.

andyc

YEAH Ditto that above

& that's why i'd like ta see a Rampage Formula block like this block

That GPU clearance being a Big issue with the EK block i got now on my SB & not hear a fan if i choose to air cool the SB to get a C/F up & running
Even a heat pipe over to the SB from the NB would work for me

[slim142]

andy I hate you :P
why so much gpu power? xD

[slim142]

I see, but what about the 3 9800GTX? Were they just deals that you got that couldnt resist? xD

[Bojamijams]

I still think there's no need for the water to flow over the SB.

Having the water go in and out around the NB would lower the restriction and provide plenty cooling to the adjacent SB (as much as it needs and its not a lot).

Yes for those of you having a separate loop it's not a big difference, but it would help those of us running single loops if we could add a NB/SB cooling solution and not kill our flow.

[slim142]

Well is not that I dont care about the SB but I heard a review from kingping that the key to his overclock was voltage for the SB, I know it does not apply to everybody but thats one thing. On the other side, The SBs from now are getting really hot and not giving them proper cooling might bring trouble so I prefer to stay safe.

[Pellepel]

While your waiting, you can remove the stock little fan, and use a 80mm. If you use long CPU WB mounting studs, you can actaully slip a 80mm over top the NB resting on those studs. Intel's mounting holes, and the holes for a 80mm fan are pretty much the same.

It was hardly noticable, and did a better job of cooling. here's some pics so you can see what I'm talking about. Might save your sanity while your waiting for the block It did mine until I WC the NB

Good point, but too bad I use the pro-mount (Fuzion). I guess I'll have to figure out another way. Zip tie or something
