How did the chipset blocks go? Got any completed pics of them?

You emailed us, but there were no pictures attached... At least not for me.

Can you resend?

OK, here is my mock up of the engraving, positioned taking into account the PCI-E slot locations to make the engraving most visible.
Acesi7, let me know what you think
 

 
The proportions of this 'E' logo look different to the one on the original Heatsink, I can fix that, also
I may outline it just slightly so it looks a bit chunkier.
 
EDIT:
How about this? Matched the 'E' to the same angle as the original Heatsink and made it proportional & chunkier ;-)

 
 


Hello, Nate! whats you mean about this engrave?
An when is total work will be done?

I am not engraving. I don't have the epoxy to fill the engraving. I could do a copper inlay, but that would cost quite a bit.

The 2 he is talking about are from the First Batch, they are for Sneaky and Myself. We just waited for both blocks to be finished before having them sent out.

Re:EVGA X79 DARK WATERBLOCK 2014/02/03 10:48:00 (permalink)
Ooooh yea ... One of those (picture of Vreg coppers on fixture block) might be for me, unless I got bumped to batch number 3. Nateman I picked up the third Dark so I'm definitely in for three sets total (3 Vreg an 3 Chipsets) and I'm flexible on schedule since all three Darks are up and running but will be running stock speeds as time permits me to finish testing before I can oc. GPU conference is next month, so won't be even considering oc'ing unless I do one of the three Dark for s¥!ts and giggles before then. Invoice me at your covience (I have only paid the material cost and agreed to terms on one Vreg) i.e. Invoice all now or how ever you preferre. I'll catch-up on email later today on other ... Last week was beyond busy. Also thanks to those for the links to past projects ... Made my spare time this weekend watching Nateman vids of CNC eye candy! Unbelievable Nate .. Wow

As far as engraving, I had planned on having mine engraved locally with just a simple "Custom Block by nateman_doo, dd-mmm-yyyy" just as a reminder of the effort he has put into not just making but the effort to have the ability to make the amazing blocks he does.  But I'd be willing to pay what ever for something he wanted to do.

What Kolich wants is a whole other thing.

Who wants in on the 3rd batch?  My machine is already setup for VREGS, so if someone is interested, post here in the next day.
 
I will send out invoices for the chipset blocks tomorrow.  The Vregs are all cut & coated.  Just tapping at the moment, and have to make the delrin tops for them, and they are all set.

Woohoo!! It's go time!
 
Payment sent Nateman.
 
Hopefully we'll get hold of them late this week, although I think early next week is a more realistic time frame. Let the engraving begin!
 
I've got 3-way 780 Classified HC's in my build. They are beautiful cards. You won't regret the decision!
