[lexusxxx]

Hi guys!
that the distance (mm) between EK-FC285 GTX PCB Rev.2 in 3SLI configuration
what SLI-link i need?

Hi gays!

intentional?
lol

sorry, i dont have the answer either...

[Eddy_EK]

Hi!

Use dangerden or feser shortest SLi fittings.

[LonghornN]

I'd go with this

[Eddy_EK]

They don't even say what is the distance user can achieve.
This is very important...
I ment those: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=24980

[PiLsY]

Feser do a variable vid SLI set which gives you 3 different length tubes and the 2 ends. This is the safest bet if you're not sure what the gap you need to cover is or if you intend to re-use in the future on a different setup. Very little price difference too.

Thanks for answers guys!!!

i am have this one, bat it look not good... http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...---1-Slot.html


25mm link not compatible with 3sli EK-285ver.2 ??? http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14simid.html

To Eddy EK! can i use these, they beautiful... (Bitspower Premium Mini Shiny Silver D-Plug Set) http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=24676

If I order at first water blocks, and then to measure and order sli-links,i will fine overpay for delivery to Russia...

intentional?

sorry, i dont have the answer either...

sory for my english... lol

I have just ordered the Bitspower Premium D-Plug Set (BP-WTP-C07) to go between two GTX295 dual pcb GPUs so will update you in 5days time if they fit or not. Hope so as it cost be £25 for two shipped from PPCs

30mm

so, if information from swiftech is correct http://www.swiftnets.com/assets/imag...-SETUPx800.jpg
distance between EK-FC285 GTX PCB Rev.2=25mm
Because a thickness of swiftech waterblok=15mm, thickness of EK-FC285 GTX PCB Rev.2=16mm
and in picture show that distance between swiftech waterbloks=26mm

16-15=1
1/2=0.5
26-05-05=25

so distanse is 25mm

Thank All

[cx-ray]

The distance between two identical full cover blocks can be found as follows:
measure distance between the two PCI-e slots you're going to use
measure thickness of a water block between opposing fitting flats

subtract thickness of block from the PCI-e slot distance = distance between front and back fitting surface of two identical GPU water blocks

[Eddy_EK]

To be precise distance is 24,6mm.

oops...

To Eddy EK, thank you
so http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14simid.html this link is to big for my setup...
or Danger Den CrossSLI Fittings/Spacers or http://www.aquatuning.de/product_inf...---1-Slot.html
or To grind off a file these http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14simid.html bat it is not good idea...

so only one kind serially let out for EK waterbloks,
Eddy EK whether is not present at you in plans to let out the own sli-link

[Eddy_EK]

Eddy EK whether is not present at you in plans to let out the own sli-link

We are about to offer a sli fitting solution

[stangracin3]

any preliminary peeks?

[lexusxxx]

We are about to offer a sli fitting solution

It is very good, because people eternally guess what link it will approach, and so there will be a clearness at once at purchase

As I would like to suggest to write to you to instructions how to connect cards in parallel or consistently

[lexusxxx]

i bild my system, foto coming soon

EK 285 v2 very good!!!

in papalel flow not more 55C in furmark

This link bigger that i need about 1mm http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishg14si1id.html
3sli cards install in slots very nise and no problem
bat
3SLI PCB link install very harde and lowest GTX285 PCB a little deform

also a need use abrasive wheel to do sli-link litle smaller(1mm)

I'm getting 43-45c maximum load here, very happy indeed! didn't use standoffs.

I think these EK Blocks are great, only two major issues though.

the first was how the instructions said in one place to use thermal paste for the RAM and then in another place to use thermal pads, well there wasnt enough thermal pads for the RAM, only the voltage regulators. so i coated the RAM with thermal paste.. mounted the block without standoffs and after numerous attempts the block did not make ANY contact with the RAM (nickel plating?). this made me reuse the thermal pads off my original heatsink.. which made perfect contact thankfully.

the second was one block fit my PALIT 285 GTX 2GB card perfect, and the other didnt fit my GAINWARD 285 GTX 2GB. now I bought the specific blocks required for this, it isn't another "xxx 285gtx block didnt fit my xxx 285gtx card" post. thankfully 20 mintues with a file solved this but potentially ruined the resale value.

im still very much impressed with EK offering probably the widest range of choices for the 285 GTX and its board revision raping otherwise my rig would not of been possible

oh and the Feser SLi Link was used at its shortest setting:

[Tackleberry]

I think RAMs should be coated only a bit (a small drop) to make pads there more adhesive.

I

That the temp of the water and air in room?

if the temp in room is 27
then temp of water 27+9=36 in You loop
so 43-45 it is anbelivebl temp of GPU in load

[ell]

here is the filing modification i was talking about, this came out of someone else's build log:



notice the top right corner of the block, and without filing it would foul the small black block in the way.

as for my temps, I dont know the temp of my room, and I dont know the temp of my water, all i know is that with a pair of 285 GTX 2GB's with ek blocks without standoffs using arctic silver 5 with a feser quad rad and 8 fans in push pull and a mcp355 18w with xspc restop with distilled + pt nuked water my load is 45c MAX.

as for the instructions you posted, i've never seen them before, i was sent these : http://81.90.180.2/ekwaterblocks/sho...0046993892.pdf

if you used standoffs try remounting without for better contact and pressure.

sorry, i dont have the answer either...

Forgive me, I have just learnt. It is very a shame...
I did not know that such small error can lead such insulting expression
Once again I am sorry for the English

After processing SLI of bridges on a grinding stone for knifes
I have removed nearby 1мм both from an external part and from the internal

Parallel connection is cool
bp fiting the best

You never see this instructions because You use diferent GTX285, look at the picture

i not use standoffs, but problem is not hare.
Problem that block have not 2 screws after mostfets(2 red circle in picture), the 1mm thermal pads is too big for (2+2+2)BIGmosthers(in third line) ,
if use 0.5mm the contact is good, because PCB will not unbend.

i hav not unbent PCB foto(in area first line mostfets) , bat if the need, i do fofo and show
