sweet blocks. and here i thought the koolance one was a winner :lol:

*looks anxiously over my shoulder for NaeKuh*

p.s. to be honest, i feel both the koolance and bitspower are wonderful :p:

Too late to market, and over twice the price of the Koolance blocks.

Koolance FTW! :yepp:

This block is SOLID copper, unlike the koolance block which is what, cooper/steel/acrylic? No thanks.

Twice the nice :D

Everyone has their opinion and everyone has their budget...that's why there are different price points of products. I like the all copper, nickel-plated BP, while you like the combo of acrylic, copper and stainless steel of the Koolance.

Good for you, but no need to thread crap ;)

very pro dude:up:


i got the bp on order :) way expensive but i don't mind...

i hope i can push v_ioh somemore :)

I didn't think the nickel plated version would be available, thought that was made specifically for RealRedRaider, are they going to offer the nickel plated version?

Not the top. That's acrylic with a stainless plate on it.

But anyway, there's a thread for the Koolance block, so no need to crap this one :)

Not sure. The pics of the block are up on Sidewinder's site.

any internal shots?

it looks gang restrictive.

I'll post 'em up when mine gets here, which should be soon as it was ordered today. Priority International usually takes about 4-5 days.

Has the waterblock in the pic seen any action yet? Curious how it performs.

Not that I know of, Shazza.

I still have a few more things to gather together before I get my build going, so there will probably be others reporting back before I get a chance to do so. Since they are now in stock at Sidewinder, I would expect that we will start seeing them "in the wild" shortly :D

Hey, some of us actually like stainless steel. Also, STOP MAKING ME WANT A CLASSIFIED. I'm still stuck with my poor old x58 evga normal edition because i jumped on the i7 train too soon and couldnt step up :(

The channels look narrow, but you gotta remember they're taller than the koolance. I would say flow on both blocks are gonna be about the same.

how so? cuz the top has channels doesnt mean it has thicker channels. The Top plates on the KL are thin, that this arguement holds no context.

If anything im willing to bet the KL block is less restrictive.

Sorry you brought up a comparison. :T

I bet the differences between the two in terms of restriction are negligible.

Just my gut feeling, no scientific testing behind that :D

as somone told me its not like its gonna stop flow...unless you plan to pinch your tubes for kicks and giggles

Did they ever release the blocks for the rampage II extreme?
