iamSneaky
For those running single or dual GPU's I am sure it would work OK but 3 or more may be a bit cramped.
TBH Nate, I am interested in the Chipset block but I would be much happier with the original design.
If you are not happy with the shape, just make the delrin top over sized and more square shaped
(don't match the shape of the copper base). I think I mentioned this before. :-)
Something like EK have done with their RIVE block?:
Nateman, those blocks looks sexy! As for the chipset block, as iamSneaky has mentioned, this is what I had in mind. Something more squared off, even if it is just the delrin/POM top. You could slightly round the edges more like the VRM block. However, to my eye, the VRM block is very square (which I love), and I'd love to see the same sort of shape/style on the Chipset block. Maybe just like the above block, but with slighty more rounded edges, like the edges on the VRM block, but still retaining it's square shape. Tried to do it in paint and it just became very messy. Haha, can have another crack at it if you need when I've got more than 5 minutes.

Your more squared off corner:  I am going to roll with this design and see how well it works.

Great! Glad you like it. I am going to start working on the tool plate to make these. That will take me a few days. batches will be possibly 6 at a time.

OK, I am still in, for both the VRM and the SB block. I prefer the current incarnation that you have above, really was not in for the enter/exit between cards, even if it would fit. Also, Nate, please disregard the pic I sent you earlier, I see we were already kinda going in the same direction as it was. Great minds think alike I guess.
BTW, EVGATech_MattM was also wanting in on this wave, he asked me to pass it along too.
Is an SB block absolutely necessary, not really, but I definitely want to Get it Colder as well. And if it is covered and doesn't get good air flow it does get warm, so again I would definitely like to get one.
Also, a thought I had, for the tops, rather than Delrin, maybe a clear, or smoked clear plastic, I think it would fit with the overall look of the Dark. I think a smoked grey clear top would look awesome, just a thought, and yes, it is meant PURELY aesthetically.
Far and away the pic you have on this page is the best one so far.

If MattM gets an order in, he is going to bump Jacob off the list ;) I will be in touch tomorrow.
I am going to start accepting orders for the chipset blocks, and the VRM's. Start-up a que or something so I can order the raw material. Just deposits for raw material. More tomorrow. I have my machine torn down awaiting parts. Thankfully it didn't happen on a friday when I can't order stuff.

Oh no good Nateman. This must be costing you a fortune in tooling and parts. You've had quite the bad run of broken bits, screen and now this coupler. Well take a break, put your feet up and have a few drinks! Hopefully not frozen ones.
Take care mate.

either way... if your sitting in Russia right now, it has to get to you.
You will pay for shipping twice (or if you have family in MA that will ship to you for free)

AWESOME!!! there should be NO interference then. BTW, do you have calipers? or a semi-accurate way to measure how much the CPU block sticks out from the CPU socket? By out, I mean the distance past the CPU socket towards PCI-E 1? Looks like a few millimeters at best. If you draw a 0.63" circle from the closest CPU bolt, that is when it would make contact:  That figure is in inches.

You mean this distance!I think it will fit.  That does not make me worry, but I want to use this revolver Rigid Compression Fitting, which is probably closely.

I should ask if you have a printer first?
