[Hudzy]

Is there a default LED behavior if you don't use one of the RGB supported motherboards?

 

[orbitalwalsh]

looks like 20th earliest the 1070 strix will be under water

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Any 1080ti versions of these planned?

Yeah, I saw this on techPowerUp.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Nice one, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Cheers

All the GPU blocks should be with us by the 17th I will update the ETA as soon as I get back to work.

These and Strix version still inbound tomorrow? if so will they be able to make it onto the PDP van that day ?

Hi,

These are now in stock.

awesome! does that mean pre-orders being shipped out today

something that might help your sales and Phanteks sales... you got any dead RMA cards you could bolt these to for ACTUALLY representation. hate it when companies use 3D renders, specially for the 3rd party cards

Hi,

Pre-order will be shipped today.

Well great as of late, OCUK had stock 1080TI variants today and out of stock already lol

 

[Mcthommo]

Any version to fit a pallid wind force 1080

I will just leave this here:

Full review coming up soon on TPU.

Any version to fit a pallid wind force 1080

If your on about Gigabyte Windforce, it's a G1 PCB

 

[Mcthommo]

Its a Palit Jetstream - I was getting my wind/jet thingy mixed up!!!

 

[orbitalwalsh]

It's here ! Although son awake so still in box

Is a video on YouTube of a Jap build log with FE version

 

[orbitalwalsh]

one bad point, the finish on the contact side is poor... GPU raise you can clearly see the machining. Intels stock cooler has a smoother finish!
To lazy to polish the Die and Ram contact area but with the rest of the product and box looking above par, was really shocking to see!

 

[VKleita]

Looks nice and well made but that uneven die contact area ...

Yep, can feel the butt crack haha. Will see under water. Sure I've got a snap shot of a smooth stock intel cooler for comparison

Here's the thing about machining marks- some of the best diamond tip tools leave those marks, but the surface is as flat as practically possible. If you can move your fingernail on the surface and not feel anything, you are good to go. A polish to remove said marks can sometimes do more bad than good, although it is possible to buff the marks and still get a near flat surface.

oh you can feel the Butt and crack - there is a score mark running down the center of the die contact area ....

I do get the feeling this is first batch run teething. and seems OCUK has reported this on to Phanteks. Have fitted the block, paste fills the butt crack area....
see how temps go whether or not I RMA it off, to much of a hassle but at the same time, its an expensive block. will try and get a snapshot of the score mark

**** see the bottom side of the die contact area for the score, right in the middle and runs to the core of the contact area
