Intimidator GPU-RAD-GF2/3/mx v1.0Frigus Engineering’s new line of anodized alloy/copper blocks are highly efficient, combined with low weight and an excellent price. It has a good-looking anodized copper top with a full copper base.
This block will fit, the ATI Radeon series with 2 holes next to the GPU, the NVidia G-Force 2/3 and most of the MX series.
Mounting holes center-to-center distance 55.0mm and comes with:
Anodized Alloy top
full copper base
10mm Brass hose fittings
Hold down materialI once had the Danger Den maze for VGA, made originally for the Geforce 2 and 3 series but it also fitted the r9x00 series. However, there was a problem with the shim ATI uses on their Radeons to protect the naked core from being crushed. No big deal, but with the Radeon 9800 for example, the core is a little bit lower then the shim. Their stock cooler is adapted to this issue, the Danger Den water block was not but Frigus’s block luckily is and I removed the shim from my 9700 pro to show you in the pictures below.
I have once again no other remarks concerning this block. It is decent looking and has a professional finishing.

And once again, leak testing.
