dang.. if I wasnt 300km from home and renovating a house right now i'd toss together a block and mail it to someone for testing :D
Muahaha corrode Swiftech's testing rig!Quote:

On a seperate note, I knew that this block would follow the MCW6002/Apogee school of thought: consistency and huge surface area because they will be testing on a quad-core. This might give them a significant advantage over the Storm. Where is Freecableguy when we need him to verify this? Also, they probably would've used a super-high-flow system to test this if it were a restrictive design.
Someone should take a 6002 down with them.
Results are ready and posted:Quote:

the Apogee may outperform the Storm on a Kentsfield, but chances are the crown will be regained with the next core where the 4 cores are all on a single die in the center rather than dual die where neither are in the dead center of the chip. Kentsfield is a transition to get quad core out as fast as possible just like the first dual core Intel's were. I'll hold on to my Storm...

However, right now, the Apogee beats the Storm on the Kentsfield. Right now, its the superior block for the current quad core with IHS. That is why I chose Apogee over my Storm Rev 2 and Storm Rev 1 for my flagship rig. I don't know why its so darn tough for some people to accept that. It is what it is.
Edit: OK.. I shouldn't open my big mouth so much because I haven't tested a G5, and that's only because I cannot find one at a decent price to buy (some guy wanted $500 and I told him to put it where the moon doesn't shine).
Look at the contest rules. It is highly prejudiced against Storm blocks, and it is highly improbable or downright impossible for a Storm to win.
Wow, a lot of talk about the Storm. I really hope somebody brings one.
After the challenge with testing on a Quad Core is all over, just for kicks, we'll throw in a 6800 Core2 Duo chip and run the Storm against the new Swiftech block. That is if somebody even brings a Storm:D

Wow OPPainter,
You guys are sure confident about your new block. Will it be commercially available (as in "in stock and ready to ship") right away after the contest?
And how come everyone else gets these cool jobs and I'm stuck behind some stupid office desk lol :)
It won't be on the shelves until the 15th. The 15th is our launch date, we will have plenty reviews going up that day around the web.Quote:

Company doesn't depend me, but they put out quality products that offer good value and they have a steady stream of business from me.
Direct die on top of a heat spreader = old style block design that's been rejected a long time ago.Quote:

etc etc.
The cost of a water block that does not perform to expectations is the least of my problems :)Quote:
