Seriously, you guys are so childish smile.gif A small problem and a bit of teasing, you feel offended and say it's an attack. Don't be a kid and if especially if you're a business man, having this type of attitude gets you no where. Now please get on with the topic, I wouldn't want to waste my time debating on this either. Doesn't make sense if it's discussing with cry babies smile.gif

can refer HERE for the quality of MIPS...the nickel finishing is really2 bad. i was there when the block is unbox. it was like a scratch all over it...u can feel it with ur fingers. really bad QC.  laugh.gif  but i guess all brands have their own prob. its the production. so cant blame straight to them rite?
Actually I can't see anything about the part where it's bad? smile.gif I only see people discussing about a case mod in LY.net laugh.gif

Maybe threads like this would be more useful:

EK 5970 water block, 84-86°С VRM temps:

I agree that we can't blame them because everything has production issues but EK is just like Proton while other brands are probably Toyota's or BMW's smile.gif If people wants to defend Proton because they screw up, I have nothing to say - let's be rational and use our own judgement. Continuously defending something that's not right won't get us anywhere but instead learn how to accept the fact and work towards how to improve it.

It's just like defending that Proton is GREAT (although failure rate might be 40%-60%? - hypothetical example) and Ferrari's would have problems too (1%) rolleyes.gif Hence, Proton and Ferrari are the SAME because both are failures, lol. I sell EK too but I rather be honest about their products than keep on selling because if people come back for something faulty, it's additional resource and time to get it fixed.

hopefully its way cheaper than EK block .
anyway, the ram waterblock is compatible with dominator only ?
*
Some of their blocks are comparable but for the R3E it's more expensive by a bit, still within the RM500+ range if you compare with the EK Acetal+Nickel biggrin.gif They have many models but the 2 that I've shown is compatible with Corsair/Mushkin.

QUOTE(DzX @ Jul 14 2010, 06:34 PM)
claw..
is that ram wb compatible with all type of ram?
or its just for Dom ram?
*
There are too many types but the one shown is for Corsair/Mushkin biggrin.gif
Here's another example:

If more people wants to buy, I can try to go a bit lower on the price. The cost is not that cheap as I thought it would be sad.gif

if u willing to spend rm99 for one fan
better u buy 120mm noisebloker multiframe m12-p
or 120mm gentle typhoon 1850rpm fan
better perfomance..
Have you tried? smile.gif Honestly, I can bet you the difference is not substantial at all and it's just not worth spending on the NB's unless you have no idea what to do with the money biggrin.gif The NB are expensive because you're paying for the removable frames, rubber screws, bla bla. Expensive doesn't always means practical and it's the best around.

Here are some reads (conducted by a normal user like us). The NB can't even beat the S-Flex with a comfortable margin (price VS performance):

Another example of Typhoon being a better pick to be used with radiators:
http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling/70821...itch-noise.html

I can only advice but the choice would go to the buyer. RM90+ for a fan is really difficult to justify unless it gives you a 3-4C drop (which does not happen in this case).

I have tried enough of fans and those high end ones are always more or less the same. In the past, the market is about high cfm fans but today, it's about silent and high static pressure fans for CPU hsf or radiators.

My intention is to let people know that some are just fancy looking fans and we are paying for the design and aesthetics more than the performance. I am not stopping anyone from buying but if people insists then go ahead so don't get me wrong.

At the end of the day, it their own money and my point is spending on a rm99 fan doesn't give you the performance you're paying for.

Vat makes U say MIPS is top brand? How top is it? unsure.gif

You can ask around in XS, RR-Tech. In fact those that are long enough in water cooling could easily tell you what brands are good and what's not smile.gif It's not like the crappy brands have been improving a lot anyway, lol.
