Anyone even considering EK products needs to have their head checked

A block for the FEs? How does it mount?

Peer pressure?

Peer pressure?

My curiosity is with the FE daughter boards and flat cables, what arrangement is made with the waterblock?

Doesn't seem like their manuals are online yet. I was curious too.

 

[jmeistr]

Don't buy EK.

Don't buy EK.

Could you elaborate on that? Why?

 

[erocker]

Could you elaborate on that? Why?

There's well-known issues with the company. A simple internet search should come up with all the info you need.

 

[Konomi]

Is nice and all, but when are they introducing paychecks for their employees?

 

[Broken Processor]

All had been quite on the EK front for a while I'd thought they were skipping RTX 5000 series not that I'd buy from them but for those that do I fully recommend you buy from a 3rd party store that has actual stock given the problems people had or maybe are still having with orders with EK's own store. Or at the very least ask about for the current state of their service.

Same as the stock cooler - the fullcover reaches all the way to the back slot and You screw the daughter boards to it. Check Der8auer's prototype block to see how it works.


As for EK - in Poland we have a quote "Please stop, save yourself the shame"...

 

[Athlonite]

Could you elaborate on that? Why?

1:Their business practices are shady as fuck
2: They don't like paying their staff
3: They also don't like paying their taxes either

Go watch Steve on youtube @ Gamers Nexus for the full details just be warned some of the videos are quite long but very informative indeed
