Too bad that XSPC one doesn't actively cool the VRMs. How much heat do they generate?

Well spotted, I didn't realise this.

The VRMs are passively cooled looking at the pics so hopefully they will be ok. I'm now torn between this and the HK block which does actively cool the VRMs. Both look good but the XSPC block would look better with the black/chrome color scheme I am aiming for. Hopefully the VRM cooling is not an issue and I can go for the XSPC block with the Raystorm to match.

I'm sold on this one it really looks über cool man... I'd sacrifice the cooling for the look of these.

edit: dayme didnt see the part that they didnt cool the vrm......

any idea if some LEDs could be rigged up to the EK Block to give a similar effect?

wonder how will koolance's block turn out, hopefully they have active water cooling over VRM.

What are everyone's views of the cooling capability of the AC, EK, HK, and XSPC 670 blocks, give the same flow rate for each? consuder cooling channel size, water path, water area over block.

wanna hear views smile.gif im holding back the trigger for my 4 blocks till im really sure.

Wow! Will that back plate work with any of the other water blocks? Anyone know?

the copper is still on the VRMs... im sure they will be plenty cool. the ones that do actively cool the VRMs put very little water over them. its kind of a trickle flow. I mean, except the EK blocks which are basically non point because of those circles.

edit: i would very much like to see a picture of the waterblock installed on the card.

My issue with the VRM cooling on the XSPC block isn't just that the VRMs aren't actively cooled, but also that there is very little copper actually connecting it to the rest of the block. Once that section of the block is saturated with heat, it will be limited by those two thin connection points to keep the VRMs cool. The center of the VRM portion is likely to run a bit warmer than the sides. However given VRM's high temperature tolerances, and the 670's inability to overvolt very high this is likely a not as big of a deal as with other cards. However I'd personally always choose performance over aesthetics, and I'm very happy I went with AC blocks (although DHL deicied to lose my blocks for three weeks mad.gif).

I am not sure if that variation in size would actually effect the way heat moves to the main part of the card... i dont think heat transfer is "bottlenecked" like, say, water or something.
