NomNomNomNom...

EK HF was my next choice, if they don't have the one I want in stock then I'll probably get the nickel plexi EK HF
 
Best things come in small packages, Biffa! I hope you are not hiding a four-way Magny-Cours board under your bed, somewhere, because that would just put the final nail in our combined lower division tiffy coffin.

Looking sharp on the Xeon front, although at this budget level, one would think two 5 gpu arrays would be a more sensible option ;)
 
The idea of the SR-2 was about best PPD/Watt rather than maximum PPD from a single rig. A GPU only rig will also set you back around the same as an SR2 build while producing less.
 
Well we will see what we will see. :D There is a guy running a sr-2 with 8 Gtx480's but im not sure how legit it is :eek:

The 140mm Yates arrived yesterday and I spent half the day getting Spam to agree to stop dithering and just give me a full refund on the wrong blocks. Of course the ones i wanted are now out of stock so i have ordered the more purposefull looking black and nickel EK Supreme HF's instead. Which is what I should have done in the first place. :rolleyes: :D
 
Couple of piccies:
Remember I said the SR-2 was a big box? :eek:

Thats most kind of you sah, but my two should be here today :)

They are also sending a courier to pickup the ones they sent incorrectly.

Must say I forgot what a bugger putting EK blocks on is, I hate the EK way of using TIM to stick the standoffs on then trying to flip the board over and align everything without one of the standoffs slipping out of position. Most of the newer block makers use metal standoffs built into the block which is much more civilized and much less Heath Robinson :eek:

Its hard enough with their GPU blocks, but with a mobo block like this, well lets just say I was lucky this time and it went together first go, but I was frettin I tell ya! :p
 
Words cannot describe the awesome..

What was written on the plastic warning thing in between the two cpu sockets? Did it have a cyanide pill in case you break it?
 
Nah not the stickers over the memory slots, in the first unboxed picture there is a plastic cube in between the cpu sockets, in the picture with the block attached it's gone and looks like there are only solder traces underneath it.
