EVGA X58 Micro Water block

**nateman_doo** · 10-13-2009, 03:30 AM

The block just finished its first overnight leak test with no incidents. Further testing must now be conducted as far as temps go.

**TheScavenger** · 10-13-2009, 06:21 AM

Good news! I am sure the temps will be significantly lower than the stock heatsinks.

**nateman_doo** · 10-13-2009, 06:44 AM

I certainly hope so. I still have testing to do which I hope to conduct on Thursday.

**TheScavenger** · 10-13-2009, 08:21 AM

Any chance that this thing is going to be black in order to match the rest of the board

?

**nateman_doo** · 10-13-2009, 10:25 AM

Let me say... just based on that statement...you will NOT be disappointed then... I am just dying to post these pictures!

My pleasure! now hopefully I can get some good test results

**archieb** · 10-15-2009, 04:46 AM

That looks great!

**nateman_doo** · 10-15-2009, 02:41 PM

gentlemen... I would like to report absolute success...

I let the mobo idle for FIFTEEN minutes with NO WATER in the block...
once the NB and Vregs reached 40°C I pumped water through it, at a very slow rate.

Vregs were unwavering at 40°C.

Standards were a 65°F room, pumped 75°F water through the block.

NB temps were in the mid to lower 30's(C)

Sounds good ... can you tell other settings (CPU OC, Vcore, etc?)

**TheScavenger** · 10-15-2009, 05:18 PM

Sounds great. What about load temps?

**nateman_doo** · 10-16-2009, 02:14 PM

I was not able to check any load temps because this was just done in the bios for now. No hard drive was hooked up. However... I did OC the board to 4.2 GHz, and the bios temps were unchanged (with the exception of the cpu

**TheScavenger** · 10-21-2009, 04:25 PM

**nateman_doo** · 10-25-2009, 06:17 PM

Switched screws to stainless and Chrome Bitspower fittings to match the Heat Killer 3.0 full copper block.
