Not one single gram.
I would have replied sooner but the compression explosion device in my motion traction system needed to be replenished with distillation fractionation of fossilisation extraction....

I heart gomeler!
If you are using another graphics card that would be no problem since the waterblock is much smaller than the stock fan.
For any other cards (soundcard for example) it will depend on its height but normally there should be no problem. The wing towards the board will also be a bit modified for the regular production since we had one old board in our company where it interferes with the lock mechanism of the RAM slots. With other boards we had no problems.
Thanks Skinnee.
Hope to see your results ASAP. Also excited that you included the EVGA/Swiftech solution in your round-up. Since they are using a "hybrid" design, it will be interesting to see if it will cool the VRMs well enough. I'm also curious to see if their thin pin matrix performs notably better than some of the more standard GPU cooling options.
I think I'm rooting for DD in this one though. Their product coverage, YouTube tutorials, and interaction with customers has been great. I just feel like they supported their launch so well.
Enjoyed the Koolance 360 review too. Nice work.
How about non-fullcover blocks? with stock plate
Sig is under construction
Hey Skinnee, are you going to ask to Swiftech for a MCW80? It would be amazing to compare all those water blocks to that universal water block, at least, in gpu temperature concerns.
Keep it good
I cant wait for the showdown between blocks.
I saw the bitspower waterbloack for 480, man it looked so good. If its temp are as good as it look.. I am getting it and selling my ekwaterblock which I havent used it yet.
sweet looking forward to this one

I finally have my first 480 FTW HC infront of me and it looks real good. Now I just need to wait for EVGA to release the next batch so I can at the very least have two allowing me to start putting together my new builds GPU loops. I just pulled my 296GTX out and its going back tomorrow for a stepup to a vanilla 480, so I can't wait to see the results as I will need to grab a block for it shortly as I know running it on air will last a week or 2 before I gone nuts by the fan and heat compred to WCing.

Thanks Skinnee, holding of on my purchase until this review, your the best!
WOW..
I got my Nickel+Copper DD in and I'm going to be adding it to my card today. It's a pretty one also.
I do have a question. I'm worried about the Weight of this Block. it is very, very heavy. This will be my first GPU to be watercooled so maybe I'm just worried. but it sure is way heavier than i thought it would be.. Do people use a support bracket coming up from there PSU or anything. lol

wow, copper plus nickle is sexier . . .
I have been contemplating a support bracket. Let me see what I can come up with. If it is good I will make you one as well.

I like the DD !!!!

By the looks of the blocks, I like the Aqua Computer one the most. Looks solid, the base looks like it's been well polished, I like the fine fins in the GPU area. It's all copper and stainless steel, it would match the HK3 just fine.
I think this is what I will go with, I am waiting for my 3 480's to arrive, just had to decide what blocks to go with....
Do all of these blocks get water over the voltage regs, or are any of them just passive cooling on the vregs?
Yea Darth.. it's very sexy looking huh. haha. I like your shot of all 3 though
yes I'm pretty worried about the weight. It's going in my HAF, obviously I'm not using the Tool-less design things. but I'm still thinking a simple 2 screws wont hold this up. I think the bracket will break. haha. it's really heavy
