Just spotted this on the ek site, must be to retake the crown.

"EK is also giving away 1000 (one thousand) free jet plates for our users which will also be distributed among our resellers. Jet plates are free of charge other than the shipping fee (for end customer there is a limit of 2 free jet plates per order)."

Bagsy one if you get any Rich :D

Well that's pushed me into ordering some stuff from EK for these plates :D

Looks like a replica of the XSPC Raystorm plate.
 
Not really free of charge as they have a minimum order value of 10 euro's. You can't just order the plate as it won't let you checkout. If we knew how wide that slot is we could make one out of the blank plate.

Looks like 3mm to me. Shipping from EK is around £10~

Who's got the version with the spare blank plate :)
 
What even the new one? :)

Might just use some metal and cut one of my own, unless I can buy it somewhere in the UK.

It looks to me as a move by EK to get people to order directly from them.

Just the original 5, plate 1 is in my block

This plate is probably a new design to combat the fact the Supreme HF is crap at cooling the sandybridge cpus as reported on other forums and how i have recently found out grrrr

Really? I've just swopped my Dtek Fuzion v2 i've had for 3 years (I thought it was a v1, but it has the insert) for a Supreme HF. Hitting 72deg with 1.464v thru my CPU running Prime and Heaven benchmark to stress the GPU 100%.

Interesting - because I'm running only 1.41v through my 2700k and its hitting 80 Degrees C on one core with a Supreme HF and a Thermochill 120.3 (3 x Scythe GT's) :(

oh - you running a 2500k - they don't produce as much heat as the 2600/2700's.

Couple of users on XS have reported the same, and when they've swapped their blocks for older copper based ones - temps are much improved....

PS - I used to have no problems cooling an AMD [email protected]! - always 56 Degrees C.
 
So did I mate, but I've compared to more than a couple of users and it seems my All those with other types of blocks are getting great results - Supreme HF seems to be the weakest link :( - (bear in mind this is for those SB's with HT)

I would have said it was just my 2700K, but I was getting the same sort of results with my 2600K. Its evident theres an issue with the block as there is literally NO heat coming out through the rad - unlike when I was using my 1090T - you could easily feel the heat coming out!. I have an AE5 monitoring system setup with 3 temp sensors at different points throughout my system - water temps hardly rise at all whilst loading up the SB cpu's.
 
Maybe the die inside the SB's are not the shape EK intended to cool? Ie the stuff under the IHS. Used to be square but I think I saw some which were rectangular.

But I can't see how that could actually affect it, the other blocks are cooling the same area (center).

Is there any tests done where someone has swapped just the block and got better temps?
 
yup - couple of users reported they went back to their older non EK blocks (Think its the Heatkiller Rev3.0's both copper and nickel) and they've had no problems since.

Hmmmm.....

The single biggest variable for me has always been the mount and thermal paste contact. I find this depends highly on the block’s bowing of the base and also the processor and IHS shape. My 2600K for example seems to have trouble with some blocks bridging the IHS edges as if there isn’t enough bow or sharp enough bow to ensure strong pressure in the center. This may depend on the backplate support as well..I’m not completely sure there yet either. Many of the top blocks today perform very similar thermally, but it’s that mechanical contact and thin bondline thickness of the TIM material that seems more critical and varies depending on the mount and orientation at times.

I have noticed the paste doesn't spread out to all the edges, but stays in like a circle not touching the edges.... I ain't gunna go through a lapping exercise no way! lol
