cool review on 5870 waterblocks...check it out guys...5870 WB face off

thanks vlad.. impressive result made by EK FC5870 WB per average, but seems Swiftech Komodo won only the GPU temperature overthere

custom watercooling my GTX295 soon.. maybe with purple or pink coolant.. haha..

is there such a thing as a thin rad?
asking coz looking into a forum tht fits a 240 rad halfway internal using cm690(hv to cut d roof to mount it) n wondering,if there was a thinner rad,how would it look

Yes there is and HW Labs used to make them but no longer in production now

rite now HWLab Stealth is around 3cm thick.....high fpi, need a good rpm to get the best of it...not much of a performance rad though due to its thickness..if u need better performance, always go for a thicker rad...mount it outside if u have to

ok...its one of the most exciting unboxing of all....HWLAB people !!

the GTX gen2...kidck all others behind...raping them blind

the GTS gen2...slimmest rad hand down...<3cm thick...good for beginner and enthusiast alike...fit it all case !!! here are the previews....

again bro...one of the best unboxing for me...biggrin.gif forgive the bad shoot, one should hold'em in one hands to realy appreciate the beauty..so behold people...

products available for sale eh bro

yeah pretty much bro...

here the review ...

Not quite sure where to ask this, but i just wanna know, when is this product coming to malaysian market?

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/d...it-eco-alc.html

and what do you all think of it?

before you buy that might want to read some testimonials at newegg and amazon. most people complained that the CoolIT ALC cooler died after 'some time' of usage. think corsair h50 is the better one. save more money and join us custom watercooling better

now that you've mentioned it, i see some not-so-good reviews at amazon, but reviews on newegg are pretty good though

what's the cheapest setup that i can get for custom WC?

If you have a budget and even as low as RM700, I can think of something for you Fully customized water cooling kits which is a lot better than the product you're looking for. Obviously if you have a higher budget, I can recommend you better parts. What's important is that you get the parts which are value for money because expensive parts doesn't always mean it'll give you the value for money

That's what I can tell you with my 10 years of water cooling experience

poison jgn x poison
bro,pm me when d res n mounting arrive eh
place order 4 fittings lak

well, i dont have that budget yet
but know i know who to look for when i plan to get one

just buy a EK LT WB...
vry bad quality for the screw!!!

maybe wana "buang" it, buy a XT for my rig....

pls elaborate more on it is bad? higher temp vs Supreme HF yes it is bcos it's cheaper
HF is the real competitor against XT

not abt temp. , it is abt quality for the screw...

sorry to tell u the xt quality aint all that great as well, some pins inside the block broken, poor finish on outer surface r common ones.

all in all i think u r expecting a little too much i find ek products quality to be acceptable, not the greatest but acceptable.

basically these are from manufacturing line, so there are time when the end product are missed by QC...but thats why the market need local distru to handle any qc issue and RMA's...user can contact the manufacturer tech support too and manufacturer will instruct local distru to follow up...
as for maxk issue...gimme some pictures bro..and i'll talk to eddy about it...

You're not the only one and so far on my side, there are plenty of problematic EK products. In RR Tech and XtremeSystems, you can see people whining about it It explains why EK is normally cheaper, most likely due to lower costs in QC and I've brought this up with Eddy long time back. I'm not sure what's been done though.

I can assure you that Swiftech products are a lot better in QC. There's always a failure rate in every product, even Ferrari cars would fail and for Swiftech, the rate is considered very very low. You would be surprised how many people talked about problematic EK 250's and the LT water blocks as compared to problematic Swiftech made products. Besides if it's some broken fins inside the block, you still can use it and the effect might not be critical but if you're talking about the inlet/outlet threads going off, leaking, screws missing or not going in, that's a lot worse.

EK is innovative but they lack QC, that's what I can see
