Sorry if you've already answered this question nateman but are you still planning on doing a chipset block?

Shipping to Australia won't be cheap, so if they can be combined it would save me probably $50 or so.

Thanks mate.

Has there been enough interest in the chipset block?  I think at least a few people have shown interest, so I will try it out. 
 
I have been under the weather the past 2 days, but I did manage to tap all the blocks.  Now its a matter of assembling them, leak testing them and that is pretty much it.

Shortly.
 
Now, I just finished going down the list of folks for the blocks:
1 Aaron W
2 Mathew d'A
3 dipzy_v
4 Kim B
5 leland74
6 frankythecat
7 Francisco P
8 CCrunch10
9 boddaker
 
I don't have all screen names & e-mail address, but I do have everyone's e-mail address.  I do see some overseas orders so obviously shipping will be a bit more.  I have 6 blocks already leak tested and passed, and the other 2 will be done by today.  I will start sending the final paypal invoices soon.

Your first on the list of the second batch.  Now I have to start the prototype of the chipset block.  I am initially thinking about batches of 4 at a time.

Sent.  Now, I won't be able to ship for another day or 2, plus were due to get a foot of snow here in the north east.  Some paypal invoices went out.  Make sure I get your address.  Id rather hear it from you, then just go with what paypal tells me.

Sorry Nate, the email address that is attached to my paypal account is my wife's so I cannot retrieve the invoice if you sent it to that address.


Could you please send me a PM with the total amount and and your paypal email and i will fix it up.
Sorry for the hassle, thanks ;)

You are a god amongst men.

Can't wait to get this all setup, hopefully the last time I do anything to my build in a very long time.

Will you be starting the second batch of VRM blocks first? Or looking at doing some chipset blocks first?

Re:EVGA X79 DARK WATERBLOCK 2014/01/02 20:42:11 (permalink)
I am sitting here pondering the chipset block.  I don't like the old shape, and its way to tight with the inlets.  Is it safe to say, that if you guys want to cool the chipset, that you will already have waterblocks on your video cards?  If that is the case, I think I want to experiment with putting the inlets inbetween the first and second PCI-E slots.
 
More later.
