    The website should be updated soon.
    Any news regarding the terrible VDDC temps on the first batch?
    I'm still getting terrible temps on them, while all other blocks achieve 50º under load the Koolance gets 85º-90º than the card throttle back to 40A to reduce temps.

    What was the problem with the Koolance blocks and how was it resolved? I'm interesting in buying one, but I want to know what I'm getting myself into in terms of potential problems. Please explain!

    Some standoffs were too long. We went through stock and replaced the bad standoffs and have included a slightly thicker thermal pad as secondary insurance.

    ok, thanks.
    I was thinking you would only have to compare some measurements, but it's obviously more difficult than that.
    cheers, drayzen
