EK 8800 GTX block

[marscay]

just a couple of pictures of some new toys

EK 8800 GTX block & Alphacool Laing DDC-Pump 12V Ultra

flushing my rad and storm block with a vinegar solution for a good 6-8hrs as i haven't used them in ages then we'll see how this block + new pump performs, not to mention my nice 27B 6600.




not that it affects performance but the EK block really is a stunning block, by all accounts performance is a lot nicer than the DD block too.

Will be very interested in the results.

Let me know how the Alphacool Laing DDC-Pump 12V Ultra runs as im after one myself.

How much m8?

I'm desperate for a new block

 

[marscay]

it wasn't cheap, in fact the price is ridiculous....almost double the current 7800 price.

but like you i was just in need to get it sorted.

I will be interested to know if you can push the core higher under water.

Just wished they had used the same spacing as per the 7800/7900.

here's a couple of pics, GTX at stock.

will do some clocking when i get some time.

so far it's a brilliant little pump, absolutely quiet ....the water gushing through the GTX block makes more noise than the pump.

had a aquaxtreme 50z previously which was ok for performance but a little on the noisy side.

Use the top inlet for better flow

 

[marscay]

i did

that's the main reason to get the the plexi top

Just happened to come over this at xs

So how much did it put you back? I'll most likely buy one for myself, but I'm sure you paid a ridiculously amount of money for it


Sorry, I don't want to derail your thread, but I just have to ask... I already have an mcw60 and 8 of those mc14 copper sinks. Would it be silly of me not to buy the new mounting system for G80 and 8 more ram sinks, rather than buying a spanking new EK full cover block? I could probably sell the MCW60 for a decent price though...

 

[marscay]

new toys are expensive, always been the same way.

if i had a mcw60 i'd most likely get the adapter, as i had a maze4 i decided on the EK.

You could put the link in your sig you know, would save the effort of posting it.

I wonder if ocuk would stock the EK block.......
