guys stop being such teases and show some nudity.
:banana: take the top of.
1. Both owners have their GTs installed
2. Taking the top off means draining the loop, disconnecting the tubing and taking the block out
Now let's just wait 2 more days.:rolleyes:
Is that the block swiftech was testing during CES?
yup
Hey Ziddey, just got to work and got on-line. Generally, my bios actual voltage is .05 less that whatever I set it. So if I have it at 1.55, reboot and go into the voltages it will say actual=1.5v. Not sure if that is normal but I have read on the evga forums that many people report this same thing. It was not that off with my old A8N-SLI deluxe. And yeah, I am really happy with the temps. Everybody sais to not take it above 60C but I want to push harder and see how high I can go. Any harm in getting into the mid 60's on full load?????
edit: Thank you Xavier for understanding. This is my first watercooling experience and I'm just glad I got everything up and running without drenching my system in H2O.

I've heard that, but how do you recommend getting accurate readings??
I appreciate and admire your ethics nik but what kind of screwed up product rollout holds reviewers to a NDA when the part has already been released into the wild?Quote:

waytoosmall, thanks for the reply. There are ways to check actual vcore using a dmm. Directions are similar for all motherboards but vary slightly depending on design, for obvious reasons.
I too have a feeling 1.675 might be a lot lower than the 1.55->1.5 example, but still, incredibly decent. Running into the 60's in coretemp is not a problem at all for c2d's.

I agree 100%. However, I did not get the block from Swiftech... I won't say where i did get it but I promised that person I would not reveal anything til the 15th.Quote:

If I was getting a new block, should I get the GT or the regular Apogee?

I've been running the GT for a week now and am thouroughly impressed. My temps are better than they have been with either of my previous blocks (DD TDX & Storm G4). I haven't ever had a regular Apogee so I couldn't tell you how differently it performs from the original...
If you are stuck beetween these two, I'd say go for the GT as it will be selling for only $55. But if you wanna spend a few extra bux, the D-Tek Fuzion is suppossed to be better than either of these (from preliminary testing anyway)

Smaller diamond pins and more of 'em... How shockingly innovative :rolleyes:
Oh well, we'll see how it does...
Hey Petra, I just ordered some stuff from your store. Whoever answers the emails is great! I was real impressed with the service!! You have my business.
I'm wondering if the GT has more pin area than the regular Apogee?
From the looks of it I say probably the same area.Quote:

Designing a waterblock isn't very hard, thinking of an efficient way to produce it is :fact:
Why, did u expected anything else...? ;)Quote:
