Skinnee Labs - GTX480 Block Round-Up (working thread)

WOW..

I got my Nickel+Copper DD in and I'm going to be adding it to my card today. It's a pretty one also.


I do have a question. I'm worried about the Weight of this Block. it is very, very heavy. This will be my first GPU to be watercooled so maybe I'm just worried. but it sure is way heavier than i thought it would be.. Do people use a support bracket coming up from there PSU or anything. lol

WOW..

Its either you get a horizontal motherboard stand or you can make something like the lian-li gpu support link on some of the high-end lian-li case.

Couldn't wait anymore so ended up going to Microcenter and bought me the Danger Dan Block. only thing is they had satin copper, wonder if there are any good places in NJ where i can nickle plate the top part like yours and maybe some way to polish that bottom part. and yeah man i agree with you, this thing is heavy!! lol

Yea nice block I got the Nickle top and bottom. It is heavier than it looks.

Guess when the results come out those that waited are going to be waiting for backorders. Part of the reason I went ahead with the DD block. I'm not pushing the system to max anyway but I wanted to be able to game and not sweat. Use to be 92c gaming and now i'm 54c gaming.
