Block for RAMPAGE EXTREME Design Ready

[Zeus]

One more question Vincent; is this block also cooling the NB pwm's, the 3 coils and the Fujitsu ML cap that are on the left side of the NB?

The stock heatpipe does so i assume this block does also?

Personally i don't think it's a good idea to include the small block for the top right part of the board, i don't think there is any reason to change the stock heatsink other than eyecandy.

I'm afraid including this block will raise the price that is already.. hmmm well how should i put that?....not really cheap.

[ward0]

Me too!

vincent, said he would answer my question by the end of the week when these blocks were ETA

[quattro_]

Vincent, i just need to know if the block will be released before Xmas ?

sorry to post off topic here but does anyone know where to find the support page for this motherboard such as bios's and other info.. and does this board come with a snap on waterblock for the northbridge? i've seen a few pics of people with a generic red cap that screws on to the NB and would allow for water on the NB.. Thanks.. Asus.com does'nt even have this board on there site yet so i wanted to know where in the world can i find support and bios's for it?

There is a thread on the Intel part of the board discussing the RE board. You can also use a different block for the NB.

The fusion waterblock is standard and seated with screws. Theres a replacement from Swiftech, the NB-MAX which replaces the Fusion. Found here:

Was that it you were looking for?

got email couple day ago from BP

[BP-Vincent]

He hasn't been around lately but he could just be busy not sure?

Ya...Been very busy on my business trip to USA and now I am back..

So, any news on this block?

Here you have our last products list already...

got email couple day ago from BP

Thanks, Boyu...

Does one dare to ask how much the RE block will cost and if anyone does know which stores going to sell them?

For the pric ewill be available before the date we can ship out..


I need say Sorry to all of you for waiting so long time on those...

No worries, you're doing what you can, and the blocks you deliver are simply watercooling pron!

I need to make sure here, will the 780i NB/SB block fit the 780i FTW?

[xTKxhom3r]

it would be awesome if you made a block exactly like that one for the giga x58

Sure...N780NS can be fit EVGA 780i FTW...

I am thinking about this, too...it's a good idea to make giga x58..and dfi x58..

[p2501]

Sooo, just to get this thread back on track. Vincent, is there a delay for the 780i NB/SB block? It's December and I don't see it at Sidewinders or anywhere else...

[shoopdawoopa]

eVGA x58 blocks?

[NaeKuh]

You make a very good point, NaeKuh.

Some custom FC blocks would look very nice on my board.

Hmm...

i have awesome recomendations if you need some...





i couldnt do the waiting game anymore...

[skinnee]

Those screws desperately need to be countersunk and flush with the top of the blocks...otherwise, they look good!

[NaeKuh]

Sucking up?...Me?........if anything, the powers that be most likely cringe when they see my name as the last poster for a topic and they wonder if they should open it to see if I'm be helpful or 1 step away from causing anarchy.

WL you talking about me?



You know the instant i start a post, either a vendor or a mod is going OH SHIAT!!!
Defcon 1!!!!

I've always said I consider myself knowledgeable enough to be dangerous.....

Im hated but 2 vendors now i think.
Like pasionately hated...

I dislike elitist attitudes myself

:O
You hate me too? :O


Can we go back to the FB block. Vincent, i heard a very distrubing rumor about your mosfet block.

Did you address it?

[skinnee]

Vincent, i heard a very distrubing rumor about your mosfet block.

Did you address it?

It is being addressed in the next revision.

[skinnee]

What rumor, and which mosfet block?

andyc

NaeKuh...thats the last time I give you info ahead of time, you bean spiller you.

I'm working both sides of the bench presently, one side is working on an Asus Striker II Extreme chipset and mosfet block review with both EK and Bitspower represented.

[soulesschild]

Is it possible to retrofit a NORMAL rampage with these WBs?

[NaeKuh]

Not yet, but the disgust level has been creeping up lately. ...and "hate" is too strong of a word.

cant blame you... lately i know ive been getting uglier.. i guess my tollerance is just lower now...

And it really gets to me, when i cant fight with someone because im bound by NDA and have to just keep quiet.. :\

So yeah, if i get a little PMSy at times, sorry pal.

NaeKuh...thats the last time I give you info ahead of time, you bean spiller you.

your not the first to tell me this tho skinnee..

theres a reason why i went full custom.

[NaeKuh]

Rumor was you couldnt get finger prints on the block or it would look super bad.

[skinnee]

OK, I'll play the dullard. What the rumor/problem, and which mosfet block/board exactly

andyc

basically, the problem is with the restriction...pressure drop is off the scale.

All of the mosfet blocks for the current revision (Non X58) all share the same inlet/outlet design. The inlets/outlets go from 11mm ID down to roughly 5mm (I don't have the exact measurements in front of me, I'm at work still), and this just kills flow and causes significant pressure drop, I had a leak through a worm drive clamp while doing pressure drop tests.

I will not be able to provide pressure drop results up to the standard 4.5GPM on these blocks because the blocks just can't handle the flow rate or the pressure build up at the inlet, and the amount of restriction in these blocks is alarming to me.

My personal recommendation, do not run the current revision BP mosfet blocks in your CPU loop. Add them to your GPU loop or dedicated chipset loop, keep them out of a loop where pressure and flow are needed.

edit:
I was giving Vincent ample time to respond to my findings before releasing my any information. I really want to make sure this problem is being addressed.

As for what started all this, I did not violate any forum rules in telling 2low4u about his sig, I also didn't attack him. It was nothing more than a friendly notice. Links to non XS sites are against the rules unless approved by an admin, plain and simple.

What sig. Anyways... this thread is starting to get annoying. It seems that in the absence of the block form Vincent, we just turn on each other instead.

Don't give your bum boi to much to snicker at dude. He's already head deep he might slip in all the way & that wouldn't be good no would it! lol

No 40 minutes to do more things than worry about that then when I came back I added it. I can't live here now can I?

Not with the way you're conducting yourself...nope

Take a few days off, you've earned it.
