Look forward to your work, I just hope it ends better than Skinnees 480 roundup which resulted in a dead 480. Unlike a CPU it seems all the testing abuse on GPUs is less tolerated. The word "Loan" would bother me but hopefully the GPU's have gotten better since the 480 days. That has been my hesitation with trying it, have seen too many issues with GPU blocks having little issues here and there and just feel it's a bit risky to put a card through the ringer like that unless someone was going to sponsor potentially losing the card. I've killed enough motherboards on my own by now just with CPU testing, 2011 is the first to seem durable enough to handle it with the build in back plate. GPU i would be very cautious with. Maybe do some visual TIM and thermal pad contact checks before hard benching or something and also ensure standoffs avoid bending the pcb at all and verify backplates do not make any circuit contact somehow...etc.
Would be awesome to see some low flow data. With the AIO units and with triple parallel, I don't think it is unusual to see really low flow rates down in the .3gpm range.v With most DIY CPU blocks falling off at .5gpm with their more dense fin structure, I would think GPU blocks suffer more rapidly and the practice of triple parallel is something that should be questioned more. Not much GPU flow sensitivy data out there right now, so it would be a huge hole filled.
