Hey guys, haven't updated the post in a while. I'm really busy on work this month so I haven't had much spare time to work on the project. Luckily I'm mainly waiting on parts for this month as well. There will be big updates coming soon. I just received the custom wooden front bezel form Josh...

Temperature wise, no. That said, it will perform better in handling temperature spikes, since it will be able to hold more heat :)

:) Quick update! I've received my prototype block and are now accepting pre-orders at www.itxfans.com Check this thread out for more information!

Hi guys! I've received my prototype block and are now ready for pre-orders! The first batch will be a small run. I want to make sure everything works out smoothly and flawlessly. The first batch will be limited to 15pcs or until June 30th. I've changed how the block will be priced, now you can...

I accidentally ship the block to my old address :p Now my friend has it and need to ship it back to me. For the price, the Z270I/Z370I Strix comboblock uses more material, and it's more complex to manufacture and have a longer manufacturing time. It also took way longer to design. You should...

Hey guys! My manufacturing partner for my Asus Z370i Strix Comboblock designed a new block for ASRock's X299E-ITX/ac. He asks me to introduce it to the SFF community and I will be selling them in my shop as well when its ready :) Unlike existing blocks on the market, it has active cooling for...

A quick dig around and I'm pretty sure the diagram came from here: https://www.qats.com/cms/2017/07/26/vapor-chambers-solid-material-base-high-power-devices/ Seems to be a pretty reliable source. I'm also curious about what water cooler perform similarly to this cooler.

To be honest, I have no idea. Currently with undervolting I'm able to achieve really good temps (40~50c) with an 8700k. But add a 1080ti to the equation, thats an entirely different story...

Yes everything is the same beside the copper top :)

XD Can't wait for Computex! I might be attending it as well :D

Hey guys, I have updated the thread for the waterblock: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/pump-reservoir-intergrated-full-cover-waterblock-for-asus-z270i-z370i-strix.6890/ If you have any questions on the block or wanna discuss it, please move to that thread instead! I wanna keep this...

Updated thread

It has three ports, so filling will be easy since you will always have an extra port :D

I still haven't got them yet, my friend took some pictures for me in China. I should have them on hand in less than 10days! I will probally start accepting preorder when I got it on hand. That's exactly what I planned to do :D

Update April 29, 2018 Its been too long, but finally its here! This is a prototype/pre-production unit. The copper exposed part visible on the back and in the M.2 section will be nickel plated on the production version. Its there because I messed up some measurement and found it out after the...
