BFG + EVGA works flawsly i did scored 16000 on 3dmark06 ... so yeah they performed just fine
Wich one is the EVGA?Quote:

but the funny thing is that it actually has more airflow from what i can feel than the BFG .... i think its sensor is messed up
i already did. its that black picture with two holes.Quote:

i'll give you a screenie after i let this thing bleed a bit more, and settle.
But yeah.. this block is not funny from the looks of it right now.
Just to give you guys a headsup on what i mean. On 1.4V @ 3.6ghz on a E6600 L631B120
Im idling at 23C on both cores ambients about 65F. And no im not kidding. Thats with 2FC blocks, nb, sb.
My old temp apogee was doing it at 28C on these settings. My dtek about 25C. Also coretemp reports the CPU cooled after load a lot faster then the apogee and D-tek.
But yeah, its definitely a lot more restrictive then my D-tek. But this block might prove better, and not by a little either.

23C mmmmmmmm.... i likes.... :P

I would comment on a 4 degree difference, but I'm not credible and no one would believe me anyway :)

well mcoffy, you also have to count i have 2 more blocks added to my loop.
DD 680i
and MCW30 on the SB.
So i am starting to think maybe more then iany's estimates. I think this thing does tons better with more flow.
I have 2 DDC-2's incase your wondering.
curious are you using Big typhoon backplate?Quote:

And yeah im using a BT backplate.
Anyhow, heres a really crappy orthos.

Ouch... i'll do a longer one later on. But yeah, this GTX is seriously scary.
Those that want to see how well of a Lap i did: i went up to 1200 grit incase your wondering :P

My motherboard bend from bow mounting:

And neal's backplate question: <which is irony. i swore i would never touch TT in my h2o cooling -_-;; >

nice i am benching mine now as well:

what temp and voltage monitoring prog is that in the background?
What were your load temps with the Apogee GT and Fuzion? Idle temps don't mean much.Quote:

Well all these blocks have pretty low pressure drop. D-tek Fuzion has the lowest of all blocks by far...thanks to the tiny round pins.Quote:

I thought the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing fanboy wars between Wii, PS3, and the 360 were pathetic but seriously guys, give it a rest.Quote:

It will be funny if Tt sales jump up because people are buying their blocks and throwing them away to get the plate - basically what I did.
I think you can buy the plate by itself tho. Just couldn't find one for sale at the time.
I expected the GTX to look better than that in situ. I kinda prefer the GT look.
Well, lemme me straight up and front with you guys. I am not a swiftech fan boy, nor have i shown any favoritism to one block.
I am a waterblock whore. I have a Storm rev.2, TDX, Apogee, ApogeeGT, D-tek Fusion, and my new addition the ApogeeGTX.
As i said i havent finished my testing yet. I want to give my system a few days for the coolant to settle, and all the last min bubbles to disapate. Remember i did a entire mobo swap as well as relooping my entire system, with the addition of 2 extra blocks on my loop. And with these 2 blocks added, the temps were still LOWER then the d-tek fusion. I think this itself should merit something.
Anyhow somewhere last night she blue screened after about 5 hours. I dont know exactly why or where, but i need to keep my voltage at 1.425 to do an accurate comparision /w my D-tek config i used a while back.
But i can tell you guys some facts, and these are totally unbais statements.
1. bowing does improve performance, and i mean by a lot where its noticible.
2. I seriously wouldnt recomend telling a newbie to buy a GTX or a GT and bow the block, and mount it.
3. If your also running a multi block design with a single pump. < DDC-2 /w petratop. I highly advise you using a D-tek.
When i was messing with it, i turned off one of my pumps, and my temps shot up nearly 8C. The d-tek had less of a delta with 1 pump going. i think it was around a delta of 5-6C.
So on a single pump, i think its safe to say, this block would perform a TAD bit better then the d-tek provided your cooling just the CPU.
Anyhow, lemem figure out why she bluescreened last night at 5 hours. I think it was my ram timings. I was tweeking them last night b4 i went to bed.
Lastly, i wouldnt trust Nmonitor to messure any temps but my video cards, and NB/SB. I just displayed them because my evga board plays nicely with ntune. It does show accurate voltage and CPU settings. I always post a CoreTemp next to anything i post, because this seems to get the fan boys of one block, to accept my findings.
So, no, anyone that doesnt use coretemp, or TAT to monitor temps, to me = retarded.
Common, my coretemp says 37C while nview says 53C that itself should tell you a lot.
Also i think i failed to mention that both my gfx cards are overvolted to 1.5V i havent gotten around to push them to 700mhz @ SLI yet. Once i do that, were also in a new ballgame since my loop isnt independant.
But if you guys are really finding the ultimate waterblock, Its made by swiftech, and its called the MCW6500T :P aka there TEC block.
You've done well. You don't need to justify anything to anyone. If in every instance in your post above, you changed every "Apogee GTX" to "D-Tek FuZion," no one would question you, and you would become the new hero. And they like to accuse others of misplaced enthusiasm...
Pity the MCW6500 has a 226watt TEC. Its may not be enough for a nuclear reactor of a cpu.
