heatkiller gtx 680 hole edition vs LT

[desudesu]

hey guys

just pondering if i should spend the extra 10 for the hole edition, it does look 100 times better but is there any difference between performance?

thanks

to be honest would prefer the black hole edition but since no local stock that i could find, it has to be the normal hole edition then.

Woah $10!

Its really not that much when your already spending 128.

decided to go with the standard hole edition,

just wondering can i use it with both in and out on the top side of the gpu.

thanks

I'm waiting on 2 of these I have on order.

Will let you know if any water leaks out the holes


I bought these over the standard LT only because TKR was down to 1 LT in stock.

PCCG have them cheaper but still on pre-order until 6 Jul I think.


As an aside, I have info from Watercool and Palit who both indicate this block should be fine for the Jetstream 4GB model and also the Palit standard GTX680 (they have 2 different p/n under the same name and one is not reference.... bastards).

I didn't intend to go SLI but got shafted on this one as no other block will fit the non-ref design as far as I can tell from investigating.

[desudesu]

yea ive bought these from pccg so probably wont get them anytime soon. no rush building my rad box, so gonna make it sturdy and then shop the stuff inside it.

you will probably get the blocks before me.

I received mine from TKR.

They are extremely nice looking and the build quality is excellent.

Here they are in my system: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...01626&page=198


One point to raise:
If you use the SLI link be aware that the o-ring is really unstable. They use a shallow oval cutout with a fine circular oring. It is easy to displace and if crushed you will leak down between the block and the card components.
I think this would be bad

I used saliva but also some sort of mastik would be ok in v.very small quantity toi hold it in place while seating the link. There are no lands or grooves for allignment and if you slide it the oring displaces.

It's fine once fitted but I think could have been designed better.

Pretty sure at least one forum member (phatboy?) suffered a leak from this type of installation.

Did you take those photos with a potato?
