Yea looking forward to seeing it built up.

I've got 2 EK 4870 blocks but finding small plastic/fiber washers in Annapolis is a pain. According to an EK rep (see below) you dont need them for the 4870 but better to be safe given what happened to 3.0charlie as well.

Hi!

We slod mamy blocks and we did not get any such feedbacks.
If you look, stock cooler also soes not use none-metal washers.
We did have such with X2 blocks but the problem is not too big as the card
works when you use PVC or paper washers.

Best regards, Eddy
