The additional water channel looks so much like an afterthought.

[EvilClocker]

Honestly. You dont really need the water over the VRM.. the block I got now doesnt. and my VRM stay cool enough....

[Hondacity]

ed,

you are right.. DD is making a new Version this week. where the waters going to pass over the VRM

What I have Found out is the VRM Get HOT Fast When you Overclock! My Card Runs 1000Mhz on the Core 1250 on The Ram.. but when you fireup Furmark.. The VRM Gets 85C Which is Way cooler then Aircooled.. DangerDen has a new Rev of the Block I will have next week to have water cooling the VRM Also.

I found that 1.25 Vcore is need to get 1000mhz. Keep in mind I Running a Dual Boreas WaterChiller.. My Water Stays at 20C


My Card Idles at 22C

let us know what you find out compared to the numbers you previously have...

[EvilClocker]

I found out that putting my spotcool blowing on the back of the card made a 10c drop on the VRM

does the new block perform better?

[EvilClocker]

Yes it does.. Here are the results this is 850core 1200mem 1.165 vcore and 1.15 on the Ram

[Razrback16]

Good results. Dangerden block you say?

[Onoff312]

Nice results but the blocks are hideous they could put some effort into the looks.

Unless you have a certin orientation you don't really see much of the block

[Jamesrt2004]

most li-li are inverted though =( i would see it, and i agree it looks awful lol. but hey functionality over performance...

(although id go switfy komodo or ek)

[WaterFlex]

Nice temps

[jaredpace]

Hi Evilclocker! Can you post a screen of maximum OC load temps on the revision 2 block?

[EvilClocker]

Sure..

[Dude_Person]

You should try running fullscreen and without aa. The draws more current in those conditions. My card will draw around 70 amps. See what temps you get then.

[nusihb]

I have a Koolance AR-597 on my 5970... GPU temps are good, under 45+C with 1.25V/1ghz running Furmark, but the VRMs getting really hot... up to 130C.
With no overclocking/overvolt they get up to 75C, idling around the same as the GPUs, 35C.

I need to tear it apart and check for bad contact I think.

[EvilClocker]

nusihb, I getting the koolance block friday to do some test.. anything close to 100c on water is not good.. Report back.. I have my testing done by friday nite

[nusihb]

Thanks EvilClocker, we will then know if the Koolance is junk or not.
I personally would like the Swiftech block, but it's not out yet...

@ EvilClocker: Sorry to ask again, but this is the second thread you have ignored my request in. Your card is drawing a lot less current than mine and possibly a lot less than nusihb too. I think it would be useful for us all if we could see your blocks performance when under proper stress.

[X2beach]

Dude Person.. I havent had a chance to test again yet, Been busy with holiday. I get you the result you want tonight.

Are you and evil the same person?

Regardless, I understand if your busy. No hurry. It's just that no response was made to my comments in either thread (I would have accepted you telling me to off ).

Thanks

[jaredpace]

Are you and evil the same person?

Heh, I wonder this also

[nusihb]

I remember seeing 70-74A powerdraw reported by Furmark... didn't look in GPU-Z logs though, but I still have them, so I'll check tonight after work.

[nusihb]

I checked GPU-Z log, the worst number I could find was:

VDDC - 74A
Phase 1 temp - 149C
Phase 2 temp - 155C
Phase 3 temp - 146C
GPU 1 temp - 39C
GPU 2 temp - 42C

Running Furmark full screen, 1920x1200 8AA, 1.25v 900mhz core 1200mhz mem.

Seems like I need to check VRM contact with the water block...
