EK FC 580GTX water block for the newest GF110 monster core

[Boulard83]

You can use it. you have to use an extender piece. That's what I used on my ek 580gtx block. Same tubing size. 1/2 x 3/4

The extender dont work for me

Wow! That sucks then. Is it the fittings your using? I'm using bitspower fittings?

[Boulard83]

Im using Bits 1/2 all the way. But i ordered Feser compression for my GTX580 to make it "classier" but it wont fit.

[Chickenfeed]

Boulard, have you tried any BP fittings on your blocks? It's not the end of the world if I need to use a normal fitting, it would just be a shame not to use these compresions ( won't use extenders )

[Boulard83]

Im 100% fine to use straight BP fittings ... its just a lil less "classi" ! i could use larger spacer from koolance or other companie.

Not surprised, they don't seem to be too popular outside Italy or central Europe, and tbh, some of their acrylic res's look to be of questionable construction.

all card will fun with WC

@Waterlogged: Their benchtable seems fine to me. Although I'm a fan od Coolermaster's Lab Test Bench. The only downside - it doesn't have a PCI bracket holder therefor the card with heavy FC wateblocks or LN2 pots tend to wobble a bit :P. I have to get a few pieces of the holder machined and bent to fit

Which I didn't mention. It's just some of their earlier cylinder res's that P-PC's still have that look a bit iffy. The new Delrin models look pretty decent though, I'm tempted to get a nano if they show up @ P-PC's.

So if I have Bitspower 1/2 3/4" I will need to use some kind of extender?

We're at EK are designing a new waterblock for GeForce 580 GTX with built-in brass standoffs.

tiborr: what are flow differences between the blocks? I'm guessing that microfins are much more resistive then old basic waves?

[wanderer256]

tiborr: Does new revision have different base only, or block top has been modified too? If former, maybe you could think about some upgrade program with only replacement base being sold separately?

[CryptiK]

When will this GTX580+ be released? Can't find it in Australia yet.

[Klockradio]

We have prepared the new revision of EK-580GTX series water block..

Ah, dang. I just ordered a block for my 580. Oh well..

[Trice]

Yeah not real happy my block is obsolete. Those temp differences are huge.

[RCG_Bex]

Indeed... just bought mine as well...

Now I have to do another NV roundup... damnit.
