Nice one .

That's a big plate of copper right there xD.

Wow, that is impressive you managed to get a block on that board Six.

How long before the nickel ones? haha

Cheers

Good question, next question. Maybe 3-4 weeks.

[Bolas]

Hmm... newegg is selling a P6T7 open box for cheap.. wonder if it's worth the risk?

Just got this

Suggestion: Supply with thermal pads for the mosfets with the block, the ones from the original heat pipe are stuck on.

No I mean the mosfet blocks. The big block is good as it comes with two thermal pads.

I know I should have tons of thermal pads lying around, but funily enough I dont

[Six]

Ah ok thats true. For the mosfet blocks pad´s from the heatpipe.

[Biffa]

I think they must be doing the pads differently now on the P6T7 because the pads on the heatpipes don't come off in one piece they just fall to pieces as they are stuck onto the block part of the heatpipe, even with a scalpel I couldn't get them off clean and I Didn't want to scratch the bjzs out of the heatpipe block just in case I need it one day

Its no biggie, I ordered some thermal pads, they should be here in a few days, and to get moving for now I pulled some pads off one the GTX470 heatsinks I removed, they were like new Should be enough to get through initial burn in and testing, I imagine even with no heatpads the blocks probably perform much better than the original heatpipe.

It´s on you to use thermal compound on the mosfets. But fasten the screws only hand tight and maybe check contact.

Heh I'd hate to put a "dab" of mx3 on each of those tiny chips
