    Sorry did not see that it was the extreme.

    So the caps get in the way of the block? how did you get around it?

    Sorry the picture is a little dark and i cant see that area very clearly.

    Not yet? So depending on your findings they will begin retail production?

    In other words, there is only 1 orientation that will work on GB boards then?

    most likely.

    dean said no one has tested the accclerator yet.

    it has a different shape from the normal, to allow a better wash. I dont see much difference besides it compared to the stock accelerator tho, so dont feel bum'd if you got the old one.

    The backplate, i absolutely love, and already told dean its definitely a winner. Less of a wobble when mounting the block on the board.

    You could make one with a dremel

    I'll look into availability tomorrow.

    Hondacity,

    nice post so far, for flow rate you said the koolance is only good with 2 pumps? I thought the general consensus now was flow rate (as long it was not much below 1gpm) was not that important, I am looking at getting one of these blocks as I move to i7 and if a 2nd pump is really necessary to get the most out of the koolance then that changes the price equation quite a bit. Have you tried the koolance with and without the 2nd pump on (if so what temperature differences did you get?) .

    dang you saw that..little detail ..good eye...

    i've yet to do a comparison with a single pump...sorry i was after max performance...

    sunday i might do a quick run with single vs dual pump

    Very nice . I am glad to see some super high flow testing done and await any single pump testing.

    Nice results!
    Now I want to test the CPU350 as well. ^^ I wouldn't get the kind of flow you're having so I might get different results. Well, looks like I'm going to have to buy one.

    Out of curiosity what software/temp sensors are you using?? I would like to purchase something like that. Thanks a ton Mcoffey for the service you do for all of us, it is much appreciated!

    I doubt you'd see much difference with the KL 350 either. To imply that dual pumps are needed for performance does that block, and this forum a dis service IMO. That's how myths are created, just like with the EK Supreme and it's flow performance.

    As I had heard, and you've reinforced, that if you add a second pump to a loop, the heat gain from the second pump often times cancels out any flow/pressure performance gain you experience, unless you increase radiator size. Just adding a second pump without any change in rad area simply adds more heat to the loop....at least from my reading I've done.

    If you look closely, you can see where I shut the 2nd pump down at 11:30. You'll see a slight bump, then temps level back off and start to fall back to what it was before with two pumps.

    what is your vcore? radiator and fans?

    Not a universal thing...definitely depends on the block and the CPU (well, really how the block relates to the CPU and how the block relates to flow).

    Decided to expand my testing to the three major Intel CPU categories: dual die Core 2, single die Core 2, Core i7. Currently working on the Fuzion V2 on a blazing B1 Conroe and three mounts in on a no-nozzle setup....and I'm seeing roughly .5C difference between 3 DDC3.2s (~2.65GPM) and a single DDC3.2 at 7.65V (~.8GPM). 3.5mm nozzle should be another story of course though
