Here are some temps from the EK blocks at idle for now.Install was pretty basic and blocks are very nicely made.

That is nice, can you post load temps as well? In the past some of their blocks have had issues with high VRM temps..
Anyway I have my EK 5870 nickle block lying right here, just didn't get around to installing it yet.

Envy me already? No problem, I'll send you my power bill and you'll instantly feel better
I will try and get load temps later on. I need to let it run for a bit to get rest of bubbles out.

Nice temps. Btw, can you post some photos of the blocks with the cards in your casing? I'd like to get an idea how they look like (been searching for some real photos with no luck).
Looks similar to the temps I get on my 5870 with EK block, being cooled by a PA120.2 on it's own. My load temps for the GPUs didn't get above 40C on full load using FurMark, though one of the VRM touch 50C. If I can get my camera working again I'll take a quick pic...
