EK Supreme HF, XSPC Rasa, Swiftech XT, Koolance CPU-360, and the AC Kryos are all withing a degree or two. Get whatever one looks best and/or cheapest.

Swiftech and the Koolances have the best mounting systems though...no contest there really.

There is no 370 CPU block coming from Koolance because there is no pics........:ROTF:
VAPOR, you know we crave WC Pron!:shocked:

Of course there's pictures :p:
Visual differences between the 360 rev1.2 are slight though...here's the face of it, for example:

Performance testing will be done in ~2 weeks or so. Trying some new stuff out on the CPU block bench that I haven't tried before, so we'll see how that goes :p:
Here's (http://skinneelabs.com/cpu-370-preview/) the full preview of the CPU-370.

Vapor: Now we need to know just two things. Will it beat HF in flow and will it beat in temps? :)
I loved 360's star/cross looks even before, and remember high prises to it's mounting sys. Now if it will better even in performance, mm, yummy.
Have you heard of any other LC vendor plans to release some new updated blocks?

You forgot the most important question: Will it blend? :rofl:
Can't wait to see your test Vapor :D!

yeah i heard about the 370.
Its basically everything vapor has done with the 360 rolled out in the new package from what i heard.
And believe me, Vapor's been like santa's little helper with waterblocks lately, so he's done a lot of moding.
Anyhow, i wish it was different in appearance from the 360.
Iono, bring back the gold and black nickle seeing how it looks drop dead sexy on a black PCB board.
Remember when koolance had gold, most of our pcb boards were green, and nasty red, so the gold never got a fair chance with the black PCB boards.
But imagine if there GPU blocks for example were in black and gold again, on a black PCB 580GTX.
Can we say DROOL?
And i also remember TIM telling me, that it costs almost the same for gold or black nickle plating.

NaeKuh: Black PCB motherboard & GPUs, black tubing, and gold plated CPU/GPU waterblocks + new goldish look true-brass fittings from BP :yepp:
.. with some touch of zipties and dust :rofl:

It's outdated too....Roundup #2 didn't have the Supreme HF, CPU-360, Kryos XT, Enzo Stealth, or XSPC Rasa (all of which are better than the Heatkiller 3.0 LT/Cu).
Here's Roundup #3's data, from the Stickies Thread:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=254900
Swiftech Apogee XT should slot in roughly where the XSPC Rasa is in those tests, too. And I'll repeat that the best mounting systems, by far, are from the CPU-360 and the Apogee XT.

Awesome, looking forward to it.:up:
I've been struggling with my CPU/MB upgrade since SB went into recall, now I'm back looking at the 1366 platform again.
Do you suspect there will be any relative performance block performance differences between 1366 and 1155?:shrug:
