Good work martin! Thanks for the effort!
so martin you say tie.
EK > the D-tek
Yet Andy's tests shows its slightly better then the EK.
*lost*
I'll stick with my EK. :T
Great test tho martin, as always, your my superstar! :rofl:
Thanks Gabe!Quote:

This was just the "As Shipped in the box" test.
Yes, I pressure drop tested with them. It does seem like there is a little more tolerance (They seem more snug in V1) between the nozzle and opening, but they fit ok.Quote:

I want to try and make my own GTZ nozzle too, it'll be a bit more difficult, but "Tinkering" is the fun part for me...:DQuote:

I see some slight differences at different flow rates but no block is "destroying" any of the others hands down.
Bravo !

You've been doing some interesting work with the different flow rate stuff, mine has been fixed pump so I havn't been looking at what flow rates might do....you've got that part covered..:up:
Let me try to summarize? Since performance's a tie:
V2 = Better flow rates = for higher restriction loops
GTZ = Better spaced barbs = Hellooo 3/4"OD compression fittings?
I havn't done the "Tweaks" round 2 yet, but that's pretty close for Round 1. Only thing about compressions is the bottom of the TFC fittings want to impact the little Swiftech logo. The top has recessed areas to retain the standard swiftech barbs which makes the fitting sit down in there and conflicts with the logo a bit. So you might have to remove the logo to make them work on there. Easy enough to do, but something to be aware of.Quote:

The Fusion V2 and GTZ are damn near equal. So it comes down to how many blocks are in your loop and what size tubing you like to use. The GTZ also has a slightly nicer mounting plate and screws.

Yes, there is definately more mounting pressure going on with the GTZ as well, so it appears to be holding the differential across the cores closer together. I liked using two long screwdrivers to install both blocks, it worked really well that way. The Fuzion V2 backplate probably also has a little more rigidity to it than the GTZ, but the larger thumbscrews on the GTZ allows you to start them and install with either your fingers or the philips heads. I found it almost necessary to use a screwdriver to fulling tighten the GTZ though...it's probably getting in the 50-60lbs of mounting pressure. I didn't notice any bowing of my DFI in the case with standoffs though.
In the end I liked both mounts because of the limiting screws. No guess work on how much to tighten...you bottom all four corners and you have a perfect and straight mount.
Nice to finally see your review:up:. I went ahead and ordered the GTZ even though I already own the V2. I'm seeing too much variance between Core #0 and the rest of the cores on my quad w/ the V2, the most variance showing up between core #0 and cores #3 and #4. I've remounted multiple times w/o seeing much difference and this variance wasn't as great even with my TRUE. I also like to use my compression fittings finally! Thanks Martin.
thanks Martin, great job as always. :up:
Great review Martin!
It looks like purchasing could come down to how many blocks will be in a loop or the need for 1/2" x 3/4" compression fittings.
I got my GTZ in the mail the other day, and pulled the block apart to take a look at the inside. When I did that I noticed a plastic insert inside the block that fell out when I pulled it open. The insert looks like it should fit a section in the top of the block, but doesn't quite fit (at least, not without me taking a hammer to it). Is the insert supposed to be loose like that (that is, not fully snugged into that slot), or am I supposed to put some pressure on it and force it back into its slot?
Thank you! You gave me the answer to my most important question at the moment. I already have the FuZion V2 and thought about the GTZ. So I will be waiting for another new cooler - the difference is not worth talking about.
Martin, one question please:
Are the backplates of the GTZ and FuZion V2 identical? The one of the V2 was almost (or totally?) the same as my old Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme-Backplate and looks like the GTZīs one, too ... What is more, the screws of FuZion V2 seemed to have the same thread as the Thermalright ones.
I'm running the Q6600 with the D-Tek V2 and the quad mid-chamber insert right now. I'm confuse, is it better to use the stock mid-chamber with my Q6600?
Run it without the mid-chamber. People have seen better temps without the insert and Martin confirms this. Thanks Martin, great review!Quote:

Martin is 2.26 to 1.86 a big difference in flow?
