nice review!
btw you're a brave man putting as5 on the memory chips! I'd feel much more comfortable with Ceramique! ![]()

![]() Edit: Ill be doing some more benching to see how high i can take the core and memory on this waterblock while still on stock volts as part of my project, and if it does allow a higher stable overclock ill get some updated 3Dmark06 scores ![]() Last edited by mandelore; 08-09-2007 at 11:43 AM. |

Beautiful Mandelore and the pictures are superb. Very nice block indeed and it is definately worth the price.

great review man but one thing, it seems like there is almost too much thermal paste on the die, ive always used a new razorblade to smooth out AC5 on my graphics card but, meh, it probably dosen't make that much of a differance anyway. Want one but noe moneys for AsphyxiA so ill just have to dream.

Nice review

![]() To bad the block came with a cracked plexi top though. Notice the screw to the right of the 'Warranty void if removed' sticker from this picture: ![]() A simple washer between screw and plexiglas could prevent the plexiglas from cracking. Don't you think? The HD2900 block is still a peace of art imho Great job DangerDen

hey mandelore, apart from it being a great review, what are you getting on 3dmark right now? I didn't see them above so thats why I ask you.
Also lets say I get this now, later on if I decide to get the rest of my pc water cooled do I have to go and get another kit, or can I just go ahead buy whatever I need to finish it off seperately? Any feedback is appreciated, thank you.
