EK is far too run of the mill, you should see the Bitspower one Ive got coming

Wouldnt put TSW wheels on a Ferrari would ya

 

[fmsam]

well TTL thers a saying I use,

"you go with what you know", obviously you have access to many other top end parts and for me being relitivly new to water cooling, I cant fault the new gen EK blocks at all, the ones for the 5870's are just awsome and the full block for the RE2 is magic, completly non restrictive and do a great job.

You, on the other hand, are far more knowlegable (not sure if thats a real word) and besides that Ive pre paid using paypal ... lol so Im commited, if Ive made a bad decision, well its to late now. TBH I thought EK were the first to develop one.

I guess I was wrong, NVM as long as the temps are right Im not to fussed about the apearence as my rig is all about function and not window sided led bling look at me style, if you get my drift.

your rig looks nice fro the little pic i can see,also have you thought of using 2 Xfire bridges? as some ppl say they get more fps and its more stabe in games

 

[fmsam]

I did have 2 on there, only recently removed one .........didnt notice any difference tbh !

 

[fmsam]

well heres a pic of the block Im waiting for,

http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/b...cks/full-board-blocks/ek-fb-re3-acetal-1.html

as you can see its far to run of the mill for a nice board like RE3, I mean who would want this nasty looking thing screwed to thier M/B

never did find the bitspower one, maybe TTL could show us where to find it, the Bits power site is a bit odd half the links dont work,

BP website is proper poo. Ive just email BP to see if there are any oficial pictures yet as all the blocks Ive seen so far have been beta's.

Ok so the block finally showed up

the install was a bit tricky, and of course still to check out temps etc, hopefully will be up and running over the w/e

 

[tinytomlogan]

Looks cool fella will be good to see it finished

 

[fmsam]

Ive decided to go with a 6gbs C300 ssd and try to run the raptors along side it on the other controller.

Hope it works !!

Can you not get the RoG piece to go up and down? I would think you would want it to be facing the right way...

 

[killablade]

Looks great!

Pictures of it finished, I would like! « Yoda style ftw

 

[fmsam]

the rog bit is just sitting there not fixed yet till its all leak tested blah blah.

 

[Steve-O-]

Good stuff. Seems like a lot of tubing going on in there. But since I've never done wc'ing I don't know what's required. Looks good either way!
