I need one of these backplate !
Eddy. I have just ordered nickel backplate from aquatuning. Can you show some installation pics?

Exactly the same as with stock backplate. Just use the screws that comes with the backplate.

Mmmm, I think I need to buy one now for my HD5870

Anyone know what size Thermal pads to use with the EK 5870 block. I seemed to have misplaced mine. I am referring to thickness.
some roundup here in german. but pix is clear enough.
and nickel-plated version of aqua FC-block for thous who want'em.
You need 0,5mm for RAMs and 1mm for the rest chips.

Eddy, is there any chance for universal 5850/5870 full cover construction?
To be honest, that's the only things that stops me from buying EK block.
Why?
You planning to go from 5870 to 5850?
We decided for separate block for 2 reasons:
1. the fitting position is in the same line so 5850 and 5870watercooled card can be connected together in the same loop, as the universal block would no allow.
2. the fact the 5870 cards have free space for additional chips at top left of the PCB. So block will be compatible also when these chips will be added.

great review, if only i could read it, good thing numbers are universal. and basically any FC block for a 5870 is probably going to be worth the price, except koolance which is a little too pricy.
Manicdan, google translate is not too bad, you know.
which performs better the ek nickel or ek copper block for the 5870
i9-10900k@5.3ghz//MSI MEG z490 Unify//32GB Gskill TridentZ b.die@DDR4666//RTX 2080ti(+150/+700) kingpin bios//Samsung 970 Pro//Corsair AX1200i
Custom Loop: Dual DDCs->Dual EK XE360 w/GT's -> HK IV CPU -> HK IV GPU ->EK X3 Res controlled by Aquaero 6
it's nickelplated, meaning it only has a microscopic thin layer of nickel on the copper. There should be no noticable performance difference.

Both are great. Just choose the one which looks like better for you

i just read thru a few more pages of this thread and im wondering if my VDDC temps are out of line... during furmark with 1000/1200 at 1.3v vcore my VDDC still tags 100C... in normal games like Modern Warfare 2, iRacing and Dirt2 ive yet to see over 54C on the VDDC #2 IIRC all of my other temps are phenomenal and stay under 42*C
it was an epic PITA to get all of my puting done in my system when i added my EK-FC5850 but if im able to fiddle with some screws to adjust the pressure on the board then im down for it.

The Komodo is quite idiot proof as far as installation is concerned, though the VRM temp is only decent for my rig.

Please read the updated installation guide. It contains a tweak on page 6 under the chapter "advanced thermal utilization"

Geez, would love it give it a go but redoing my loop is out of the question for now. If only the instructions were there when the block was initially launched. I just wonder how will the EK performs without the thermal pads?
Nevertheless, the GPU temp is pretty solid and the Komodo is so much easier to install!
