To monoblock or not to monoblock?

**tistou77** · 06-21-2019 01:50 PM

Hello

I finally found the time to test the IHS Nickel (Rockit): D
Only compared with Cinebench (3 tests in a row and took the temperatures of the last tests, room temperature identical to 1°)

Cinebench R15 (IHS Stock / IHS Nickel (Rockit))

Ok thanks

Tell us the difference between IHS Nickel of Rockit and that of Ebay

Where did you buy the Rockit IHS to EU? The shipping costs are really steep from their website to Finland.

I've spent quite a bit of money trying to cool my 7980XE. Direct die, bartx IHS, etc, still using original IHS now. Direct die was better but the maintenance is something I hate with it (if I need to pull the waterblock for maintenance etc). I wish it was just soldered to begin with so I couldn't bother with this.

Directly on their site, it is true that the shipping costs are as expensive as the product (for Europe)
They told me that their products would be distributed by Amazon in the future

Are you after a nickel plated version? if you interested I can send you mine as i don't use it at a discount.

Actually can't find the nickel version on the website, only copper. Was it a limited batch or something? :O

The nickle version isn't listed no and you have to ask for it after ordering.
