Why is standoff's the new anithema?
Oh noes! I can't tighten it down with all my might.....
Every block I have owned didn't have them. My Aqua Computer block doesn't.

**century child** · 03-07-2009, 03:05 AM

In the product description for the 295 block it states that special distance rings prevent over-tightening in the VRM-area. So it sounds like standoffs are included.

HK 3.0 nickel plated .. can't buy it like this.

**dM@n** · 03-07-2009, 03:18 AM

Can anyone confirm if the block comes with a backplate and if the block works with 1/2" ID 3/4" OD Bitspower/Feser Compressions?

**Jamesrt2004** · 03-07-2009, 03:49 AM

Backplate is sold seperately and it won't work with 1/2" ID Feser compressions, it's not even close. It does work with the 45° Feser 1/2" compressions just fine though, I have it lying here in front of me

Le Chuck. That looks very nice!
When will see more pics of your builds/worklog? I want to see that hardrive block in action. I also think you showed us a homemade-rad box once too. Keep us posted on projects

looks amazing! is that a normal HK3 with a nickel plated top?

**Blacky** · 03-07-2009, 05:23 AM

Looks like compression fittings won't work on these right?

**BringerOdeath** · 03-07-2009, 05:56 AM

not without 45 degree adapters!!

Aquatuning.de is your friend.

Amazing store and great folks working there. Super cheap and delivery is fast

**~~ILikeCosmosS~~** · 03-07-2009, 06:13 AM

(mcp655, mosfets will be cooled in the loop not to mention on a evga classfied)

this block seems good

cpu 350
heatkiller wb
apogee gtz
d-tek v2
ek supreme LT

How about buying em from Watercool http://www.watercool.de/online-shop/ it's Germany (EU) so no worries.

**quattro_** · 03-07-2009, 10:47 AM

yes it wont work with BP 1/2" or 7/16" compression fitting, only way it to use a 45 :

iv been using it for a week now and its grate, got it from aquatuning.de .

**generics_user** · 03-07-2009, 11:24 AM

finally you guys over there can get this block

i still wait for mime because this dam aquaero is out of stock

and FYI: the top part on the full copper version has a clear coat so you it doesn't get stained over time

Very trick block and you just can't beat German millwork and Engineering IMO.

andyc

give us a small preview, and i hope you also got the original watercool backplate!

Not sure it makes any difference, but I always like to get it right per the instructions is possible.

andyc

afaik away form mb

does the 1366 backplate come with those red standoffs so the backplate is flat on the motherboard backplate?

how is the mounting mechanism? it looks great on the pics!

will post some results once i get my rig done, i can't do comparisons between other blocks but with the aquaero i will be able to measure flow and water/core delta

Thats a good thing! As the phobya block proved with its 1mm base, heat is transferred much quicker with a thin base.

**pika198** · 03-07-2009, 11:53 AM

Makes my GTZ look like a a Thermaltake block

**bigKr33** · 03-07-2009, 11:58 AM

Wow thats a fantastic looking block. Too bad it doesn't use the 1/2" compression fittings. I would've considered this block for my i7 build coming up. I'm still thinking of either the koolance 350 or dtek v2 though. Still would like to see the results of the block.

neither does the Dtek

i don't see the problem in not having compression fittings, 7/16" tubing on thick 1/2" fittings is just as secure as the ocmpression fittings are

@mcoffey
did it come with English Manual?
