[Doc_Scorpion]

Hey fellas,

I recently wrote up the guys the EK WaterBlocks and asked them to consider making a fullblock for the 7970 HD Matrix Series.

This is what came out:

Dear Thomas,

Spread it among your fellow Matrix users J

Dear Sirs,



according to your website, you have no plans on designing and distributing a fullblock watercooling solution for the ASUS 7970 HD Matrix (Platinum) graphics card.

Is this already a final statement? There is an actually pretty high number of owners of this card that are looking for a fullblock solution for exactly this model (including myself).

Since you have already created custom solutions for the MSI R 7970 Lightning and the ASUS HD7970-DC2-3GD5 Radeon HD 7970, I wonder if it would be too far of a stretch to create a fullblock solution for the ASUS 7970 HD Matrix Platinum, especially because the board design only marginally deviates from that of the DC2 you already designed.



I am more than sure that there is a substantial amount of people who would buy a fullblock solution for this card (please cross reference this statement with known forums) since it has, by now, received a certain notoriety.



In the name of all watercooling Matrix Platinum owners, I sincerely hope you reconsider the decision of not providing a cooling solution for this model.

I am convinced that there is serious sales potential for fullblock for this card.



Best regards



Thomas

FINALLY!!!!!

You have two free connectors there, on the back... that wider one may be for the fans, but that smaller, behind the fan button may be the one for the LED...

[Zka17]

Seemingly the EK has the Matrix blocks available: :cool:

[sorter6434]

Just got mine too.EK didn't update my order status until they got here.Man they are heavey!

[Zka17]

Heavy and big! I'm just happy that I'm on a Test Bench for now... I think, having the cards with those blocks in a regular chassis, additional support to them will be necessary...

[sorter6434]

I have two of them and a duel terminal.I hope it will not be too much weight on my maximus 5 extreame.
