A few words of explanation about this custom version of the X299 Dark monoblock.
It's just an experiment.
I discussed with Michael how to integrate the Bitspower Summit EF CPU block with the custom VRM LC block.
Does it make sense?
What we will gain..what we will lose.
I have an identical set, X299 Dark / Summit EF / delided CPU.
Concept of this monoblock version is unusual,
firstly it is adapted to integrate with the base plate of the Bitspower Summit EF block.
Why?
This is the fastest and most convenient way.
VRM block is also modified, simplified with the version available on xdevs.com/guide/e299ocg/
This is a prototype, requires tests, corrections ... at the moment Michael is considering using Fujipoly 17Wmk pads.
Gelid Extreme 12Wmk improved by lowering the VRM temperature.
The question is ... is there any point in using Fujipoly 17Wmk?
The second copy of the X299 Dark monoblock will be tested in my own project,
less efficient LC ... only 4x480mm SR2 rads plus 16x Eloop 120mm PWM fans.
Patience ... as usual with the prototype ... looks great but stress tests will show if this concept is correct.
We do not know that yet.
I am afraid that the CPU core temperature will increase when the liquid flow in the monoblock will be routed VRM-> CPU (first rev monoblock).
We perfectly know what is happening with VRM at OC 4.8 - 5GHz 14-core CPU.
Changing the flow on the CPU-> VRM requires a new version acrylic plates ... and new tests.
