    EK Uni-GPU block acetal vs. plexi

    Finally have one of the 670 in the loop and the temp looks great, 32C max temp running crysis 3 and f@h . Seems that i've grabbed the last one of this http://www.dazmode.com/store/product..._block_acetal/ . I've been reading on the net about plexi not being durable and prone to leaking, is there truth to this? Should I just grab the nickel plated version (assuming ek fixed all their plating issues) or wait ti'll Daz get the acetal version instock again?

    Somehow I manage to messed up the tubing again lol


    Ooops!


    F@H at max 32c



    Do those 140mm blue led fans actually runs at 2800rpm?


    Cheers,
    "Casper B!"

    While there is small possibility that acrylic may have material structural defect. 1 out may be 200 blocks from what I see...

    Truth is that with enough determination you can equally either crack Plexi or you can strip Acetal threads.

    But who would admit of being an idiot?

          I think i'll just order the acetal/nickel then or just toss a coin 3 times and see what happens hehe

          Neo, I haven't folded in a while too. Just started all over again. Hopefully all the bad luck i've been having on my hardware will balanced out a bit.

          Gdesmo/Daz, is this how you would run a dual pump in series? Let me know how to optimize it please
