7970 Waterblocks on FrozenCPU

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 12, 2012, 06:54 PM

Been Looking around for about a week.

FrozenCPU now has a list of waterblocks coming for the 7970. Should be available very soon.

http://www.frozencpu.com/search.html...&go.x=0&go.y=0

Can't wait!! I am on the notify list.

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 16, 2012, 10:09 PM

In stock! And Cheaper then originally list. $130 w/shipping.

I went with the EK-FC7970 -Acetal+EN

erocker · Jan 16, 2012, 10:35 PM

Bah! Out of stock already.

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 16, 2012, 10:44 PM

wow that was fast. well best I can suggest is get on the auto notification.

erocker · Jan 16, 2012, 10:46 PM

Just ordered one direct from EK for $122 shipped.

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 16, 2012, 10:47 PM

That is a better price. Mine was $130 shipped!

Have you guys seen this, that the blocks don't make contact with the gpu and that you need a buy a spacer?

I just read this earlier today while looking around

I hope this is BS!

The install guide shows gpu alignment correctly and it doesn't state anything about a spacer. The EK online store sells nothing like that.

manofthem · Jan 16, 2012, 11:16 PM

Yeah, EK doesn't mention it so it must be inaccurate, no worries

erocker · Jan 16, 2012, 11:22 PM

It is BS. The shims are for this: http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/ek...-hf-plexi.html

EK states this right here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post5029253

I'm pretty sure they do the rear exhaust cooler thing to limit returns. Many cases don't have very good airflow.

These were just released yesterday I think, but I'll let you know how it goes when I get it. There is no club yet.

DOM · Jan 17, 2012, 06:16 AM

Cuz when i first got it it went on the bench rig in the garage 40-60F temps

I just put it on the main rig today and its one hot card and loud my 4yr old was dad why your computer so loud

But wanted a lighting ver but I wanted to wc it also and end up selling off my other cards

Does yours get a bad vdroop ? Say 1.2v is like 1.175v then with load its down to around 1.1v
?

You know that is the first thing I thought when I opened the box. Wow that is one big Squirrel cage fan. They just keep getting bigger and bigger.

My waterblock will be here on the 18th. Hope to have it installed before the weekend.

DOM · Jan 19, 2012, 03:38 AM

So did anyone's block come in already ??????????

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 19, 2012, 03:59 AM

Tomorrow morning. Will have it installed later that night.

DOM · Jan 19, 2012, 04:36 AM

So what's the different types of wb's cuz what's the Acetal+EN look like cuz the pics are all the same

Wrigleyvillain · Jan 19, 2012, 04:51 AM

Yeah they all sold out at PPCs too FTR. No real surprise there...

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 20, 2012, 12:24 AM

All done. Looks great. Idle Temps at 31c. Going to run Furmark and see what happens. No leaks, so that's a major bonus.

erocker · Jan 20, 2012, 12:29 AM

F&%#^g EK.. They are bastards. Ordered my block which was in stock, now I have to wait a week before it ships... At least I'll get one fresh off the CNC machine I guess...

ZenZimZaliben · Jan 20, 2012, 12:31 AM

Looks good. 39c GPU @100% stock settings.
