Copper GPU Block

[Real_PhillBert]

I have been digging around doing a bit of research while I consider a custom loop, and I have found only one manufacturer who makes a copper GPU water block, XSPC.

 

I have nothing against XSPC, but am wondering if anyone else makes a copper GPU water block?

 

The GPU that I am looking to cool is a 980, and I know that we know nothing about it now, but I figure GPU block manufacturers are unlikely to change the materials they use for a new GPU.

 

Thanks in advance.

I believe Alphacool, EK, and Aquacomputer all make copper blocks. The XSPC ones do very well for there price point, I run one in each of my water cooled machines. Both perform very well. 

 

As for the water block for 880/980 what ever they call it, don't expect anything soon. who knows how long before they release blocks, after the cards come on the market. Most likely around the 6-12 month mark afterwards.

I couldn't find an all copper EK, I will have a look at the Alphacool and Aquacomputer blocks as well. Thanks

 

I was planning on running the GPU on air for a while as I get my plans all in order anyway. I like to have a sound plan before I whip out the credit card  

 

Thanks again.

Yep, Hearing you on that. Before I committed to my loops, I spent about 3-4 weeks looking, matching, rechecking, doing everything possible to make sure everything was spot on.

 

Here is an Example of an EK Copper GPU block

How did I miss that? I was even browsing frozencpu... 

 

Thanks again.
