EK Fullcover for GTX 285 launched

so there's no ram chips on the back side? or any heat generating components on the back? I just want to be clear.

Nope, no heat on the back.

Doesn't splitting the flow like that hamper the effectiveness of the block? I would think that flow eddies, or very little flow at all happens in that little extra area on the left side of the block. Once that little turn area fills with water, hydrostatic pressure will force the flow through the shortest route, leaving that area stagnant.

Just curious.

well spotted... it looks open enough that water would still circulate

The screw heads look like they are countersunk so they are flush with the top... does this mean this block is single slot?

Hi!

Blocks are single slot.
The channels are designed the small chip gets totally enought water, ad it does not heat that much.

Someone needs to PS this flow diagram over a picture of the actual block. I would so wallpaper that.
