and i guess if they did put the same effort in this product as the air cooling ones...we are seeing a excellent product then...
forged metal :slobber: i hope it performs better than fuzion and apogge gtx
MC14s are forged copper.Quote:

Petra has already stated it's plastic. Hmm, he seems to have deleted that post.:confused:Quote:

enzotech makes some amazing products
How does it degrade the thermals? As long as there isn't any residue there shouldn't be any problem with heat transfer.Quote:

58x58mm hmm big enough for a 437W TEC hehe.
Hmmmm, I have their forged northbridge and southbridge heatsinks, both of which are top quality, so we can only hope this block lives up to the rest of their products.
Yeh its only the polishing compound that effects the heat transfer, you wont find any of that from any manufacturer. Here the forged copper is just milled to that high mirror finish.Quote:

Well i've formally submitted a review sample... not holding my breath as usual. I will get one though, this and the Thermalright will be tested.
i was aiming for a gtx for my quad...but i'll wait for a review of this :D , i just have a good feeling that is going to perform well...:)
I look forward to it Scott.Quote:

Also, I may be old fashioned in my logic now, but doesn't the base look like it will be too thick? I'm probably just recalling old Storm design philosophy that Cathar used to discuss, but it looks very thick.
Wonder if it'll come bowed or be able to be bowed for quads. Killer looks though, hopefully it's reasonably priced.
No idea how you would bow that 1/4" of solid copper.
I dunno if anyone posted this, but the base has the same pin layout as the fuzion GPU block.

Similar, but not quite the same...Quote:
