Re: EK WaterBlocks Discussion, Help & Question Thread 2015/01/22 09:04:18 (permalink)
Hey Derick! I'm leaning towards getting an EVGA GTX 960, and I was wondering if there was any likelihood of EK putting out a water block for it. Not the end of the world if not, I may eventually step-up to a 970 anyway - mostly just curious :-)
 
Thanks!

GTX 960 is "officially" out only since today so it's a bit early for waterblocks.

Hey Derick do you guys have a full block for a GTX 980 04G-P4-1982-KR. I couldn't find it in your configurator and was just wondering. Also love your stuff my next water build will probably be mostly be EK products I would say all of it but you don't make Ts

Yes. That is the same PCB as the earlier models. The only difference is the new reference cooler from EVGA. The regular GTX 980 block should fit that one. You can check the specifics on the site, like the dimensions to make sure. I am almost certain this card does not have a new or different PCB. I do not have that specific card, but I do have the GTX 980 with an EK block. You can look a few posts back and see my pictures.

Like Grey_Beard said, the 1982 looks to be the same as the 2982 which has a reference PCB so the standard EK-FC 980 blocks should fit.

Hey Luc...I need your help :) I am getting new CPU water block.. so I was wondering is there any peformance difference between EK Supremacy Evo blocks? or it's just "cosmetic" ?
for example, I was thinking to buy either EK-Supremacy EVO - Full Nickel EAN: 3831109800188  or EK-Supremacy EVO Nickel EAN: 3831109800065 ? what's the difference (except price lol)?

No performance differences it's mainly an aesthetical difference.  But since the Full Nickel top is milled out of a big chunk of metal, the price "expand" a bit.

Re: EK WaterBlocks Discussion, Help & Question Thread 2015/02/02 16:25:07 (permalink)
ok thanks .. just one more question. I am about to get pump -res combo EK-XRES 140 D5 PWM (incl. pump) EAN: 3831109840818, but I would like to go with longer res 250...so what should I pruchase ? EK-RES X3 250 EAN: 3831109841020 ? Can I remove 140 res from my pump res combo and install 250 res easly?
or is there a cheaper option for this combination ? to buy a res 250 without "black bottom part" for inlet/outlet ?

You don't need to buy the complete reservoir only the tube.  http://www.ekwb.com/shop/reservoirs-and-acc/reservoir-acc/ek-res-x3-series/ek-res-x3-tube-250-204mm.html
 
And it's very easy to install you simply unscrew the 140 tube and screw the 250 tube in place.

Hey quick question, would a EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (360) be enough for a three GTX-980's in SLI. It would be just the Cards in the loop no CPU, or should I go three EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (120)
and have each card, on it's own radiator. As a quick aside here just wanted to say absolutely love the new compression fittings that copper is sexy as hell keep up the good work

1x 360 or 3x 120 will give you the same performances....but oh the tubing nightmare with 3x 120!!!!!!!
 
To run 3x 980 on a 360 you must not expect a major temp improvement.  Yes you will see a difference but not that much.
 
Also don't OC your cards.  I don't know what's your case but if you can put another rad with the 360 that would help.

it would be a CaseLabs STH10 so I could put another rad in the basement what would you suggest another 360 or a 480 or hell a 240

An STH10!!!!!!!! Damn that's my kind of radiators warehouse! 
 
Then I would put 2x 360 in the bottom or top chamber.  Some will say that's overkill but that's my middle name so i'm ok

Well I'm already going to use a EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (360) for the I7-5960X, and overclock it to 4.5ghz . Yes I know that is way over kill kinda like using a Tactical nuke to dig a hole for a rose bush but I thought what the Hell, course I could put that Radiator in the basement, What would the loop look like would it be (res, Pump, Cards, T fitting, Radiators, Res) or (res, Pump, Cards, Rad, Rad, Res) ooh ooh how about two 480's that should keep everything down.

Re: EK WaterBlocks Discussion, Help & Question Thread 2015/02/17 02:23:14 (permalink)
Hello I'm considering getting a full set of ekwb watercooling for my 780 classified. I never used watercooling before and the configurator stops after picking block,backplate,fitting. So I don't know what else to be bought (reservoir? pump? tubes?)!
Can you give me a full list of what I need to buy from your website? Also, is there a difference between nickel and acetal+nickel besides looks? Personally thinking black one looks really nice.
However my case is cooler master silencio 352 mATX and even though it says water cooling is supported I'm not sure if I can fit huge reservoirs in it. It's not possible to cool down both cpu and gpu with one loop right? Can you give me some advice?
p.s.: mobo: gigabyte h97m-d3h, cpu: i5 4690

Res -> Pump -> GPU's -> Rad1 -> Rad2 -> Res will do the job.  Having 2x 360 for your GPU loop is like you would put a 240 rad for each GPU which is pretty cool. If you want to go dual 480 you can but dual 360 is already nice.  The 480 would be like adding icing on a cake lollll

hey Ek_luc can I install a different terminal on the 980 hydro copper block like this one on frozencpu
EK FC Terminal Replacement Connecting Link - Clear Plexi (EK-FC Terminal - Plexi)
 
thanks



The width of the EVGA terminal block is quite wider than an EK terminal so the mounting points aren't compatible. The EVGA terminal system looks more like a reminiscence of the old HC block done by Swiftech.

Thoughts on copper vs nickel cpu blocks? And would you need to keep the copper blocks cleaned from oxidation?

Re: EK WaterBlocks Discussion, Help & Question Thread 2015/02/22 01:32:17 (permalink)
Is there any place where I can buy just a CPU backplate for an older CPU waterblock to fit the new 1150 97Z motherboard? I have a EK HF Supreme CPU waterblock for 1366 socket and I just upgraded to a Gigabyte ga-z97x-ud5h black edition motherboard and the backplate does not fit. There is 3 screws that stick up on the CPU plate on the new motherboard and there is no holes on the old backplate where they would line up. I know I can modify the backplate by drilling 3 new holes, but I want to know if I can just by the backplate.

Sorry for the delay, I totally forgot to answer! Both copper or nickel will give you the same performances.  Oxidation on the copper won't change it's performances.

What you need is this if I read you correctly : http://www.ekwb.com/shop/blocks/backplates/cpu/ek-lga115x-true-backplate.html
 
If that's the case, as you can see we are out of stock on it but Performance-PCs has some in stock! Here : http://www.performance-pcs.com/ek-lga115x-true-backplate.html
 
Let me know if it's what you're looking.
