Yeah, I think I will give the ducky block a miss.
It would probably be of minimal benefit anyway but
very interested in results.

Nate,
Calling the chipset block a duck block was a bad idea. I like it, as long as it cools the chips it was designed to cool and the way you made it, reminds me of the Z78 block, a true performer. I know everyone says the chipsets are not as important as they once were but due to the failure with the $599.00 Classified X79 board and after I bought a water block set up for it and I got nowhere with it. I went to an ASUS board, I know this is a dirty word in this forum but it was pretty much the same board but built better and with the water cooling I was able to hit 5.2 with their cool offset setting of 1.396. my cores always stayed cool during benching never going above 62c.
    That cool block you made me with fan was the bomb for my Z78/P67 board.

I meant no ill referring to it as the 'ducky' block BTW.

My Dark arrives tomorrow, will seriously have to restrain myself and wait for this block to arrive before I install in...
 
 

Hey nate can you pm me? I can't send a pm  cause of the 10 post limit lol. Just registered.

He's got his email address in his signature. Maybe try emailing him?

Remember nateman_doo isn't a business, so his weekends are his own. :D 

 
Well aware he isn't a 'business' but he is still someone who may be asking me to send him money for a product and how long could it possibly take to type out 10-15 characters? All I asked for were prices.
 
FWIW, I sent him an e-mail last Thursday with no reply yet, also sent him a PM on Saturday with no reply yet. So weekend or no weekend he's yet to reply. I should feel confident when involved in a transaction with someone and if I were offering a product for sale I'd make every effort to ensure every potential customer would feel confident in dealing with me. *shrug*

Woohoo! My X79 Dark just arrived. Can't wait to get this badboy all blocked up and installed. Very excited!

Please get back to me regarding the blocks - I have left you another PM but am getting no replies. I am very interested in both blocks for the Dark but kind of hard to maintain interest when I can't get any info!

i would like to get both blocks for the dark too! :-)
