    so instead your gonna watercool a P55?

    According to your statement,

    The P55 = runs cooler, less power consumption... thus wouldnt need watercooling... instead of spending the money on water get better GPU's then.

    If u do see FB blocks for the P55, it will be only on the high end.
    The P series itself is not in the enthusiast catigory.

    sorry for the long rant.
    Did u not understand what i said? and kept saying?

    So your gonna invest 200-300 extra dollars on a full board + setup instead of stepping up one tier?
    Does that honestly make any sense?

    And yes its about 200-300 dollars.
    We calculate full board block @ 100-150 + Pump (70-90) + Accessories.

    No it makes no financial sense, unless your going for looks.
    And to vendors it makes even less sense to please a small target of the audience.

    If you bought a P55... 90% of the reasons why u bought it is because STRAIGHT UP you couldnt afford a X58 OR didnt see the need for excess.
    And now your asking for excess when you didnt see/want it in the first place? (seriously... cry me a river.. you made a poor judgement in platforms).

    If your in the 10% catigory, then you guys are expecting the vendors to please you guys?

    Sorry... the 10% of you guys who have a P55, sell your stuff, and get a X58.
    X58 users are more likely to dish out the cash for all this stuff and also get a vendor response doing so, and your guys are really crying for the moon.

    P55 = budget / Consumer grade...
    FULLBOARD blocks IS NEVER IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS BUDGET... and its most definitely not consumer grade.

    I didnt want to wait for a vendor so i had mine customed out..

    If you really want to bling... custom it.

    Bei Fei + Duniek + Iandh.

    I just listed our 3 best custom builders our forum has to offer.
