eventually, the water in every loop stabilizes at a specific temp.  My blocks go either direction, you can install the hoses as you wish.

A part of me feels 90's would be good along with rigid acrylic tubing given the short distance it's traveling. The thing is with a large amount of 90 degree angles I feel like it must have an effect on flow. I kind of picture the loop running into a flat wall and changing direction everytime there is a 90 degree angle.

Rigid tubing can lessen the effect of 90 deg angles as usually the radius on bends are not too sharp and you have control
over how you bend the tube anyway.

So you are saying use normal connector then bend rigid tubing in a gradual arc to lesson the flow disruption? That would probably be best. Though I would have to get a proper tube bending kit.

A big fan of your work nateman!

IT IS AWESOME!!!

Wow, I really need to check this more often. Paid! Paypal shipping address is correct.

OMG so excited to finally get this block. I realized I better wait until I have it installed before buying the fittings and hoses. I didn't want to be guessing on hose lengths and appropriate fitting angles. It looks fantastic from here. I will post an installed pic ASAP

Mine arrived today. Thanks so much Nate, I really appreciate the work!
 
Sadly, I won't have any temp info for a while since I'm waiting till I get my 4960x before I install these. Build is already done and complete without them and with a 4820k in it. So I want to only tear it down once and do both changes.

hey nate I have not read the entire thread, but have gone through about 25 pages :P has anyone asked for a 680 classy block? ive been debating this forever. I used to have 2 680 classy's with hydrocoppers, had to sell one, and now want to buy another one again to make a set butttttttt.... waterblocks are nowhere to be found of course ;P i have been debating on selling it and going with a different card, or finding out if i could get a block made. was wondering if you could make a near replica of the hydrocopper (obviously with a slight variance since its more than likely patented). obviously could care less about stickers and the nickel plating on the bottom, just a bare copper bottom and black copper top would be fine by me. If you can do it, I might just sell the waterblock i have, and get 2 that you can make :) thanks in advance, keep up the good work man, followed you in the get it colder 1 and 2 threads, your a god ;P
 
I also know of some people looking for blocks for 680 classy's as well. I can point them in the right direction if you have the ability for the work load :)

I literally just got my Vreg block from Nate today, looks amazing cant wait to get it in and running. Then I saw your post and thought, "damnit, I want one too". Ive been searching for a 680 classy block for a while as well and havent found anything but universal blocks (boooooo). If your up to the challenge nate I'd strongly consider getting one as well. Especially since the 800 series is now projected to "2015 sometime"

There seems to be a demand for the 680's, so I will happily take care of your needs. Remember I can't exactly "mass produce" them, just small batches.

Any news of my blocks? Did you send them? I hadn't the tracking number 

Yes, I sent it. I have to find the tracking numbers. I'm not sure what I did with them.

Ok if you find the tracking numbers send me, so I can track them.
 
Thanks

That sounds great nateman_doo. whenever you get around to doing them I sure would take 2 of them. you have no idea how much I appreciate this. I have been trying to find those 680 classified evga hydrocopper blocks for months now with no luck lol

nateman your the man :) small batches is all we the people need :) whatever your able to do man, we dont want to stretch your time with your family thin.
