 Make sure you are ordering the right water block!
While installing this water block on my GPU I quickly realized that it wasn''t going to fit correctly at all.
This was because my GPU is the regular reference design, not the V2 reference design.
Before getting this, make sure you have the V2 card or it will not fit correctly!
Aside from that, it looks like a fine block and I''m sure it would be excellent on the right card. |

 No problems, no leaks
Used these fittings with no trouble at all, no sharp edges or poor construction or anything like that.
Actually the short threads are good because you can damage components by over tightening with threads that are too long. |

 Very Satisfied
Although there were some significant problems with the product - this controller is of great quality and I would recommend it to anyone.
Mine had some problems, and I should hope that they are somewhat atypical.
Firstly it did not fit well in my case, it was too wide. I don''t have some unusual case, it''s a regular 5.23" slot like every other device in the world uses. I had to remove 2 screws that connected the metal on the sides to the circuitboard on the bottom, this way I could bend in the sides so they would fit. This doesn''t seem like a problem because the circuitboard is still resting on solid metal.
Secondly the 4-pin molex connector is bent way back and torn away from the circuitboard. It still works - I was worried I would have to solder and I''m not that great at it - but it is obviously damaged.
Don''t get me wrong, it''s working *great* and I love it, I just hope my problems are unusual. |

Great fans
I purchased 3 of these and 1 140mm in the same exact style, my machine came with 2 fans of poorer quality (so I''m upgrading 2 and adding 2)
They''re *great* fans and came to me recommended by very experienced overclockers. They seem tough and certainly move a lot of air. So far I''ve recorded a 7C drop in GPU temp (my CPU needs a better CPU fan).
There were problems though and I do want to put those out there.
* I didn''t buy screws, just never thought of it. Don''t just assume screws come with it. I had screws of my own though.
* I really underestimated how hard it was to get those screws in there. I pressed so hard to turn a screw that I made my hand bleed, that''s a bit too much. So I went out to the garage and got a round file and put it in the power drill (it wasn''t made for that but it worked ok) and filed the screw holes out so the screws would turn more easily. They''re in now but by the hardest.
* I wouldn''t use these fans without a fan controller, they''re too loud to stay on like that when you don''t need the power. Get a quality fan controller (I am using the Lamptron High Wattage 4 Channel Rheobus bought from here at FrozenCPU) and turn these things down or even off when you don''t need them.
* They make a high pitched whine when they are undervolted to a certain degree. Once I turn them up to a certain speed I don''t hear the sound anymore.
This might be something that not everybody can hear - there are a lot of things that only me and dogs can hear.
Again, very good quality. I don''t want to sound like I dislike them (my hands are still really hurting).
Oh and my case exudes coolness now, the blue LEDs have no lack of awesome. |
