Danger Den Ready with Radeon HD 4870 X2 Water-blocks

In the TPU review of one of their other full coverage blocks, the review mentioned that those machining marks aren't that visible to the naked eye. Only the camera picks them up. The blocks were still flat, and smooth.

If you look closely, that "effect" is on all the RAM IC blocks and where the GPU die makes contact.

@ MK how flat were the surfaces of the block you had pictured a few posts ago?

they wernt mine, someone else on TPU posted them for his cards.

I believe you may have been refering to the review i made of my DangerDen 2900xt waterblock. The machine marks really do show well on camera, but otherwise appear highly polished to the naked eye.

The dangerden blocks are great, I run my 2900xt at 1.35V core, 920Mhz core 24/7 and it reaches 58C on a very warm day.

Those were mine. Yes they look just like in the pic, but they are very flat. You can't even feel the marks with your finger nail.

Maybe im just paranoid or highly cautious but i think id still sand it down a bit first and make it mirror finish when a pic is taken.

i think the effect is just made with the polish used.
