A quote from Vincent....

Here we announce our new VGA Blocks

for GTX285 New PCB...VG-NGTX285B.

For GTX295 Single PCB...VG-NGTX295B.

These two will have brand new mounting for the VGA.

I find it quite strange to have the inlet/outlet port like it is configured. This would almost certainly require a 90° elbow in any hose configuration.

I personally like it, it is similar to HK design...

Notice the stand-offs are machined into the block...

**Morae** · 07-14-2009, 07:16 PM

I liked the previous design better.

This is really a nice, complete product in my opinion.
Everything you need to get running is there.

I think Vincent did a good job.
I would love to see a special triple sli fitting purpose built for these blocks, or some sort of bridge as an option.

Either way though, it's different and different IMO is cool.

Those are just slick......as always.

BP needs to make a radiator......a big ass, shiny,dragon logo'd radiator.

Excellent. At least someone is listening to their customers. No spacer washers for this this boy.

A very good addition. Does it keep the machine time down that much that they didnt include this in the original design?

Good looking block for a GPU ill never have lol.

sure, but whether that 90° turn is in the blocks internals or in your fitting won't make a difference IMO.

I think it's a good move to have a different kind of in/outlet configuration. After all, we're getting more and more blocks to choose from and this is one thing that distinguishes the BP blocks from others.

**scraps** · 07-15-2009, 07:07 AM

I really like these blocks...I think taking the 90deg turn outta the block would allow you to place a 45 and a nicely curved hose onto it? Or even, if memory serves me right, some of you're MM case build could even use a direct straight line into the block?
But I too highly doubt I will ever own either of these gpu's

nice looking block.

Yes, you have a good point. However, having an internal 90° turn within the water block still makes for easier tube routing than having to add your own 90° fitting externally which increases the external dimension away from the motherboard.
