Which waterblock cools better?

[Airbrushkid]

I have a a D-tek Fuzion V2 Waterblock and a EK Supreme Waterblock. Can someone point me or tell me which one cools better?

[=[PULSAR]=]

Definitely the Ek Supreme.

My guess would be the Supreme, but some more info on what your pumping setup and rest of loop is would be helpful. The Supreme has the potential to be much better, but has a large impact on flow-rates, so if you have a weak pump or a complicated loop it may end up as the inferior solution.

I have the supreme on my i7 860 at 4ghz never runs above 60c at full load

Maybe giving the op all the links of testing by skinnee and others would let him make his own decisions and make him rely less on our brain power and allow him to stand on his own two feet and make an informed decision? An educated member is a asset. Nuff said.

Ok my loop will include a Thermocill PA-120, Laing D-5 pump, EK 150 Res and cpu block. Forgot to add EK GTX 285 gpu block. All 1/2" tubing.

For an Opty a single 120.1 rad will be fine, the 285 will be taking the lion's share of the head-dump there, but if you're considering upgrading in future you may want to look at something a little larger. With that loop the Supreme will be fine, so I'd definitely go with the EK. Keep in mind, though, that the difference between the two blocks on an old Opty will be minor - it simply won't be putting out enough heat to really test either.

[Airbrushkid]

Sorry no it's not for a Opty. It's for a Q6600.

[SoulsCollective]

On an OC'd Kentsfield the difference will be slightly larger. You're going to be pushing a single 120 rad with an OC'd 65nm quad and a 285GTX, though.

[Airbrushkid]

Again I'm very sorry I've been very sick for days. The Thermochill P-120 is a PA-120.3.

[SoulsCollective]

Hey, no need to apologise, we all make mistakes :p: A 120.3 for those two will be just fine.

[Airbrushkid]

Thank you. Now can you tellme the difference between the 3 difference Supreme's? Theres the EK Supreme, EK Supreme LT and the EK Supreme HF?

[Alexandr0s]

Sure :). Although the Supreme LT is slightly worse than the Supreme, it is less restrictive, making it more useful in high restriction loops.

The Supreme HF is basically GOD (lol, sorry, couldn't help myself). Well, it beats the XT in both flow and temps, and it's less restrictive than the LT if I remember correctly.

Edit: if you want to know some more about the Supreme HF, maybe the test performed by Vapor is interesting for you: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=247072

Alexandr0s: you forgot to add that Supreme HF full coper/full nickel also holds it's own in looks area aswell :)

[Waterlogged]

Hmm, I seem to recall Vapor showing a Fuzion V2 matching the HK 3.0 LT (which laid the smack down on the Supreme's candy arse) with a simple tweak to the Pro mount. This was for i7 but I don't see any reason it shouldn't work as well with 775.
