Very sharp looking block. I am loving it!
I've just ordered mine.
Hi,
Just been reading the instructions of the EK 7970 block.
This will be my first EK block installation.
The above part from the manual.EKWB recommends using small drops of electrically non-conductive (for example: GELID GC-Extreme™ or Arctic Cooling MX-2 ™/ MX-4 ™) thermal grease on each phase regulator (that is being covered with thermal pad) in order to even further improve the thermal performance of the EK-FC7970 LTG series water block.
Q1: Is this necessary / recommended ?
Q2: Has it been proven to help temps?
Q3: When it says small drops on each phase regulator. Is that on the phase regulator itself before the pad is placed or on the top of the pad that meets the block? or to place grease on both sides of the thermal pad?
Q4: Might sound noobie... but what parts are the phase regulators ?
thanks
They are talking about placing tim on the mosfets (the flat metal squares/rectangles that are about 3mm off the PCB next to the chokes)
It is recommend to help adhere the thermal pad and create a bit better of contact. Is it necessary? No but it can't hurt.
Does anyone else feel the circles are better representative on this block because of the sheer size and amount of different cuts/heights? I actually like it, helps break it up visually. If it were the old style, it would look quite plain with just a slab of acetel covering it all.
I know exactly what I will be doing with my waterblocks the second I get them
This post is so full of win that I feel just like that girl on the right, and you the boy on the left. Must be why I could only connect threeI know exactly what I will be doing with my waterblocks the second I get them
