EK-FC295 GTX Single PCB - Released!

[Eddy_EK]

No one answered yet that I saw, at least. I wanted to know if it's ok to start with the main front waterblock, and add the backplate later? Is this pretty easy? Are there any real issues with doing it this way if I simply cannot afford both blocks right now?

Also, does eddy do package pricing for XS members if we want to buy both blocks at one time?

Hi!
You can simply buy front block and add back later f you wish.
Regarding the spacial price, I dont hink this would be fair to our resellers

Thanks for the response! I just wanted to make sure their would be no issues. And it doesn't have to be specific to XS forums. Just a suggestion. Sometimes people are more motivated to buy more and spend more when they are getting a "package deal." It's all business numbers though, I wouldn't expect anyone to go upside down selling these, but a discount for even the general population if they buy both the front and back together might be a good way to spur more sales of both rather than just one side.

Nevertheless, I'm drooling over that transparent block now. It's nice to know it can cool just fine by itself.

Did any one try these blocks? Can you post some test temps? also pics of the blocks with the back block.
I think the clear version looked awesome too bad it's cancelled

great work by EK-my first product was the EVGA classified full board block but I'm guessing it won't be my last.

Cheers. Yes, I finally found a good use for the MORA. Somewhere where it wasn't overkill.

I've been fiddling with OC's on the 295's and they're humming along quite nicely now at 684/1476/1080, the same speeds as the EVGA CO-OP FTW. (I've had the shader clocks higher, but with the occasional EUE, so they've been backed-off.) Anyway, I achieved my aim of 70K PPD from a single folding machine, so I'm pleased with it.

Onwards and upwards... I started working on a new folding build yesterday. A pair of Xeon W5580's, Tyan S7025 motherboard, 12GB RAM, and another 4x GTX295's. The CPU's will be cooled with Swiftech GTZ's and 4x EK-FC295 water blocks for the GPU's, clear plexi this time. I have another MORA, so the same again, single loop, and see how we go.

EDIT: I should also note that even with the overclock (576/1242/999 -> 684/1476/1080) on the 4x GTX295's, the full load GPU temps have only risen by a degree or two, (47-50 deg C), so plenty of heat exchange capacity on the MORA and great waterblocks from EK.

Yes, you do. Have a look at the EK-295 single PCB waterblock instruction manual.

ok thx you.

I've a question about using the block with the back block. When using both, are the screws that come with the back block intended to be used with standoffs for the main block or should the standoffs be left out in this case?
