[Review] Round 2: EK Supreme HF

[Blueking]

On monolithic dies it shouldn't really matter, on 775 quad cores with their two seperate dies you might see more of a difference.

what about i7 980X ?

[Boogerlad]

980x is a single die.

Vapor: have you ever thought to test HF with custom more restrictive plate aswell (eg. single line)? I'm somehow predicting that while restriction will go up (but it has more room to, as block is less restrictive then eg. CPU360/Kryo even with most restrictive and effective plate #1), it will reclaim top performance spot?

[Vapor]

A Supreme HF with more restrictive plates would definitely be an interesting test

Unfortunately, with only 1 blank supplied per block with no option to buy more (and the fact it's stainless steel--not easy to machine at home), the ability to test it is limited. I modded my Plexi HF and gave it to skinnee for a different project, but I'll probably be buying a HF Cu shortly and might be able to explore midplates with that.

[Church]

Vapor: i'm pretty shure that Eddy_EK will be willing to suply few of blanks for testing sake on request ..

[Aedubber]

Which plate is recommended to use with the hf supreme ? Since they send about 4 diff ones from ek

Plate 1 (the one with two slits) was the best in my testing. I think it's the stock plate in the recent Supreme HFs.

It is!

Acrylic Cover: Sanding and Shiny

[ScottALot]

So you sanded the acrylic top? I can't really figure it out.

Plated.

Yeah, I think he made the cloudy parts of the acrylic clear and shiny.

His base was already plated, IIRC

JET PLATE #2 (Mod)

JASSAF: and temps?

[JASSAF]

JASSAF: and temps?

my radiator is to dirty to run the test at the moment. In my new waterbock i used a jet plate (1.05 x 30mm) and the gain was 0.75°C (my previous jet plate: 0.75 x 30mm with two channels). i belive he HK Supr HF must follow he same tendence.

[Church]

Rad dirty or not shouldn't change relative result, if you test both jetplates with rad of same dirtyness . Good to keep ambient temps same with AC during all the time of tests aswell.

EK-Supreme HF - Full Nickel

Is there a difference between that this http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=26784 and this http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ucts_id=27631? water block

[jumper2high]

Performance-wise, probably not. It's the same block, one with a plexi top, and one with a gold plated copper top.

[JASSAF]

JET PLATE #2 (Mod)

Rad dirty or not shouldn't change relative result, if you test both jetplates with rad of same dirtyness . Good to keep ambient temps same with AC during all the time of tests aswell.

after cleaning up the radiator, the test´s result was: 0.25°C more than Jet plate #1


EDIT: That was not my intention. im sorry
.

[Vapor]

Are you seriously trying to directly compare temps from two different testbeds?

EDIT: or are you overlaying your difference between P1 and P2m on top of my chart? Either way it's deplorable.

[Cookiesowns]

Hey, is there a new version of the HF acetal/copper ? On the EK site, the pictures varies from performance-pcs, the new one sure also looks much better

loving the nickel cpu!!

[PatRaceTin]

what about new design EK SUpreme HF ??? some result

[M_T_M]

Wich pate jetis the best choice for block HF? After the tests, the best #1, or any other?
