However neither or our opinions will affect how it performs, and at the end of the day that's what matters, it could be butt ugly but if it cools amazingly people will still stare in awe when they see one :P
i find that arrogant :shrug:
Well the heat plate is extremely thin, so .. it's got potential.
The water still needs to go through that copper plate and it has some seriously tiny holes.Quote:

Anyone know if Aquatuning ships to US?
Aquatuning ships internationally. Just write them an email, I'm sure they'll be glad to help.
Concerning the waterblock: It does look like they took a different approach than most, but we're all just waiting for numbers on this one...
Aquatuning is pretty good. Did not need to write them an email. They do ship international and I have ordered a few things from them for my recent build.
This block is interesting but I do have a few reservations and some possible solutions to make it better. First off I am happy to see a thin bottom plate but I am not happy with the pin spacing. Too much spacing for nothing. Could remove more heat if it was kept a little tighter together. Second is the jet plate. It's holes are not only too small but also looks like to engineers failed to communicate together. Some of the holes in the jet plate actually covers the return water ways. Also it's not acetal. It's black plexi. Which is kind of cool! But this thing does have potential for the modders with access to a CNC. Make the jetplate with larger holes and also make the bottom plate with better pin structure. I would not use this with any dyes or additives in the water. The hole structure in the jet plate would atomize the water coming through causing an instant breakdown of your additives to stick to the bottom plate.
65 holes. Interesting structure.
REVIEWS OF GTFO! /joke:soap:
But I want a review, I like the look of it and I wants! But only if it's the same as a Supreme or GTZ otherwise... BLEH!:sick:

only german fan boys tested this block on liquidluxx. all people in germany laughed about the block. it cools like it looks.
I can't find a review of the block at liquidluxx...
Never mind, it's in the forums.
All results of Phobya are being deleted. But like I said before: True or not but german overclockers had already pretested that wb: Phobya performs better than EK Supreme и Aquacomputer XT di. Used CPU was quad.
I want to believe you, but sadly numbers and statistics are what I follow.
If there are more reviews supporting what you say, I might get one, depending on if they supply AM2 and LGA1366 brackets for it.
thats just not right. there have been a few forums in which people have been chosen to prtest this wb.Quote:

in my opinion this wb just looks cheap. but letīs see how it will perform.
Guys is the 1mm a problem? I know it's possible it could get the heat through a little better possibly, but what about mechanically? I'd be worried that dang thing would fold up, or stress crack. If that happened it would be over.
Thats what i've been wondering. After taking apart and cleaning an Edge V1 it's obvious how weak copper can be. High mounting pressure could destroy the block before you even get a chance to turn on the pump, no?Quote:

the other night with fuzzy beer-vision this block looked very interesting.
Now, in a more sober state of mind it looks very cheap and poorly engineered. I really can't see it doing well.
Well, this block certainly gets a lot of attention. Practically no one has seen any actual data on it but it seems in every forum I visit, lots of people have their panties all up in a bunch over this (excuse the lame Duke Nukem machismo).
I would estimate that this block is either going to do really well or totally tank (sales-wise). It sure doesn't seem destined for average-ville.
Whose panties are in a bunch?
We asked for numbers. We haven't seen them.
I don't care what the block looks like and I don't care to comment on the design. I just want to see performance.
I will post first results the day after tomorrow.
