In watt man look on the freq/watt graph and it will tell you what the stock mv is
Just ordered an Alphacool Eisblock for my Radeon 7
Apparently shipping in 10-11 days which gives me some time to plan out the rest of the setup for my first watercooled system
Prepare to be disappointed. I bought one for Vega and it was so bad I gave it to @Illuminist, was the biggest £150 waste ever. Id say roughly 1 in 3 is doa in my experience. Also quality control is non existant. Sorry if this sounds like me being over fussy but they are proper ****

That was the all in one block version that was the ugliest piece of hideous engineering ever made, I think this guy is getting the see through water block thingy.
I still have that block x2 if you ever want it back

Hell no. Burn it with fire. Won't trust that crap. Shockingly poor engineering.

This is a full cover GPU block not an AIO so not much to go wrong unless it leaks? Not sure about GPU but there doesn't seem to be much more than a few *C between the best and average CPU blocks?
EK are taking their sweet time to release a block and I have a long weekend coming up in a couple weeks with with the girlfriend out the house which is perfect time to mess around rebuilding the PC for water cooling without being bothered

seems my water block has cleared customs and is with the courier for delivery, so I hope either tomorrow or Friday for week end fitment

Excellent! We look forward to hearing what difference it makes to the temps and OC ability

I was looking at copper and plexi as the cheapest option, but yours is more apples with apples comparison
Think I'll stick with the Alphacool order TBH
Still need to plan out the rest of the system, mostly need to decide between EK and Hardware Labs radiators.

Ye, the ek option carries a large premium. They have got greedy, not a lot more to say on the pricing really lol.I was looking at copper and plexi as the cheapest option, but yours is more apples with apples comparison

What size rads are you looking at using? In which case?
Case is a Fractal Design Define S, was looking at a 420mm slim at the top and a 280mm at the front. Choosing between:
EK-CoolStream CE 280 + EK-CoolStream SE 420
and
Black Ice Nemesis GTX 280 + Black Ice Nemesis GTS 420
Erring towards the Hardware Labs ones as they seem to be slightly better at low RPM from what I've read
