Alphacool's New Range Of GPU Blocks For Nvidia 7950 GTX and 8800 series Cards

Don't 'That companty that shall not be named' do flowmeaters?

And i sware ive seen an alphacool one too...

If not ignore me...

Most watercooling gurus consider all flow meters besides the extremely expensive ones to be crap I think.

Some here

I was thinking of getting perhaps a spare pump and hooking it up to a "reservoir" (read: bucket) and testing the GPU block for flow that way (through pipes of course)

The sensor one looks good if only I knew whether it's plug and play or not...

That one?

Looks like it would do the job tbh.

Even if its readings arent that accurate, the delta would still show right?

 

[FarFarAway]

Well I'd assume it would give consistant readings, even if they are not accurate. This would mean I could show a difference in the impingement when the block was in place the not in place.

But hows it work? I need a T balancer?

Looks like you put regualr barbs in the two holes in the front too me.

I doubt these are accurate. I was thinking along the lines of something more professional, but.. as long as they show an accurate difference.

 

[Nagaru]

What about like two 5 gallon buckets and see how long it takes to pump from one to the other, that should do it right?

 

[NickS]

Wow, good idea

 

[Nagaru]

Thanks, I have them occasionally.

Was talking about how I get the reading

@ Nick - can't see anything more accurate...and I expect anything like that would cost a fortune

Kempez, I'm liking that simple idea .

That and a stopwatch.

These certainly look very interesting. According to Chris @ Alphacool these aren't restrictive...so we'll see when I have on in the labs

OK, I am smack in the middle of a G80 waterblock review. Who do I talk to about getting a set of these blocks to include in the review? Will they be @ CES next week? I will be there.

I'll have a word with Alphacool about it mate. If you hit me or XMS up on MSN then we can discuss you getting something done on the homepage for ur block roundup?
