don't forget 9700's have a 'proud' lip around the GPU that makes using old GPU blocks impossible without an insert!...

Thats probably the most intelligently designed GPU block I've seen. I don't understand why people bother with all these twist and turns to cool a 15w GPU. Make it simple, non restrictive and use those 45 degree barbs so you don't kill flow or block PCI slots.------------------------------------------------

i agree, thats why for my block im doing a PVC cap with the barbs comming in from the side, with some fins of some type (probably copper wire) sticking up in the middle, works well, low restriction.
-------------------------------------------------------
I agree as well, apart from the fact that heat is generated at the
very centre of the NB chip, a fact that manufacturers seem to overlook!.
I plan on making a very simple NB&GPU block out of 28mm Cu-pipe end caps, with the barbs made of 13mm inner(same size as silicone tubing I'll use) Cu pipe soldered to the sides. they'll probly have to be
O< Vee shaped rather than
O= parallel, to allow for room to fit tube&ties/clamps. Could also gloop a perspex/plexi top to it with two/four holes for the mounts, or solder some lugs with holes to the endcap body for a soldered top...
Or use 15/22mm caps and have the inlet going in the top and outlet on the side. the 15mm would be very minimal and quite high flow(comparitivly) like a 90Deg elbow with a flat bottom, again two/four lugs for mounting...
