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

[cstkl1]

Yeah, but, Vapor has got to eat.

that being said

shall we set up a paypal account for everybody in the review page
they have to eat and their test setup cost more.


u didnt think this through did ya.

[UrbanSmooth]

Nope.

My mind is about washed out. I'm just waiting for these results, man. No rush, want Skinnee to get it all right and all the data that he needs in his time, but, I've had my finger ready to click Submit on three EK GTX 480 waterblocks several times now, and I just can't pull the trigger until I see those results.

Hey, Eddy, are you happy to read that?

u know he didnt buy those blocks rite

You know he has spent his free time giving us excellent reviews and all of the data collected that gave Jonny the information he needed to make the best choice right? Show a little gratitude and quit being a freeloader!

[JoeChuo]

As I said 3 posts up, you cannot as the block is designed for the thermal pads.

I mean put both TIM and thermal pad together.

No donations, you folks keep your dollars for buying gear. I appreciate the offer, but we'd much rather you get to buy parts with your cash.

I am working to finish everything up and I understand the itch and complaints to hurry up and be done. Trust me, I wish I had the 8-10 hours a day I spend on the day job working on lab stuff, but that is not reality.

[seeka12]

BTW Skinnee May i ask you what do you do with all the Blocks you test? i know its non of my business but i was wondering where do this amount of stuff go?

[zeroibis]

He melts it down into a self statue of greatness placed in the pantheon of water cooling gods!

[skinnee]

HA, no statues.

All the gear I test usually ends up back in the box in the closet, some is used for various other tests, but blocks take a beating through testing.

I know I'll wait, As I'm really patient, But then I have to be on what amounts to retirement income, As I'm a disabled person. But I can plan in advance at least, Me I'm slowly putting together a Seti@Home(a Boinc project) cruncher with an EVGA Classified 200(or an Asus P7P55 WS Super Computer, haven't decided yet really), 2 psus(1050w&1250w, I have the 1050w in a HAF-932 case), five GTX295 cards(I have one now, a v1, the other 4 will be v2 types) and the whole thing will be water cooled of course... The cards will do work on Seti by using CUDA as I'm not much of a gamer.

I'm in no hurry so take your time as these things can not be rushed. I'm sure once you are done with your testing that it will become incredibly helpful for those looking to find the right product for their setup and wallet!

your closet must be an enormous one

No I think what he was saying is that his closet IS a "pantheon of water cooling gods!"

[mk-ultra]

it's a shame all that unused watercooling stuff just sitting there

U know what u can do with the blocks your not using *hint hint*

Why so curious?

[Conumdrum]

He wants free stuff.

I'm sure Skinnee has trusted friends and top notch builders who have known Skinnee for a few years and have been around longer than this month if he decides to let some stuff go.

Kinda sad how this thread has degraded. Give me results, give me your free stuff. I'm sure if he would to let free stuff go and take into account his hours of work, a $100 item just jumped to $250 at $40 an hour minimum for his expertise and one of a kind ability.

Johnny87, give it a rest.

[UrbanSmooth]

have been around longer than this month

Now that you mention it, not to get off track here, but, I look at my join date, and I've been around here for 5 years now! Wow!

He wants free stuff

from 2 days some people suggested skinnee opening a donation page for people to donate money and then here are some people suggesting skinnee donating with his blocks,OMG people's attitude changes fast

[Wryknow]

Well, I think that Skinnee has been very generous with his time and has provided a tremendous resource for water cooling newbs like me. His data is first rate and I eagerly await the next installment. I do find the notion of using this thread to beg for free stuff more than a bit tasteless but I am still vaguely amused at the inevitability of it

wot he said x2

(oh - 1 year and now 13 posts...)

[skinnee]

And this is why most of the stuff just goes into the closet, or off to Vapor for his testing.

Finishing up one more block with TIM, reviews and comparison are being written and making a "TIM Compatible" list.

Your lucky skinnee, Me I just got another GTX295 in a trade for an XP x64 OS CD, So now I've have a dual board and a single board with 3 more single board versions to get, One of these days they'll get water cooled just like the 480 cards in this thread, But without the testing of course.
