Solution: Move to the UK :D
You're in the same boat now with our rads as we in the UK were 4 years ago with ANYTHING to do with watercooling... time will eventually resolve...

no problem Monk.
Marci: lol.. The UK is my families fargone homeland... But I think I would loose it with the insanely high taxes there.
Any chance of talking to a higher volume distrubutor?
Its cheaper then most solutions i have seen. And i dont care about "cool", i care if it works, is effective and solid ^^Quote:

how does the maze 4 CPU block perform compared to the swiftech 6002?
storm is waaaay too expensive, and i cant find the 6002 in the shop i wanted to shop...
Great guide, I do have a question about the Black Ice Pro, I am looking at getting a II or III but how do you recomment it be mounted on the outside or back of the case?
I suppose I could just get a Black Ice Pro "I" but the II and III look to be better.
Swiftech RadBox - or a homemade version thereof...

Hey it was mentioned earilier by MaxxRacer that their was a pump guide already out for reviewing by the public. Anybody have the link for it?
lol pheonix.. go to the main watercooling section of this forum. just one level up.. you will find all of my guides there
I knew that of course...I was just testing to see if you knew:rolleyes: . Gotta max sure you guys are up to scratch you know......that's what's newbies are for you know.
of course phoenix.. lol.
what about adding a chipset and hdd cooler sections to your guide?
this one is suppose to be the Asus A8n chipset series

you can also get it here and it's in stock

me and a friend want to do WC but we want to cool everything chipset gpu cpu and hard drive (would also like to do ram)
I guess i could add one, but I would add a disclaimer stating that cooling such items is not neccesary nor is it reccomended.
I would like to see you evidence as to why you saying that.Quote:

Has there been someone that's cooled the the NF4 chipset and received no benefit? it just seems strange to me that no benefit would be had.

there is absolutley no gain from cooling the nf4.. absolutely none.. On the stock cooler you can get up to 450fsb. Infact I think the record for the nf4 was had using a dfi nf4 with the anemic stock cooler.
so yes, they are useless, and yes there is tons of data to support my statement.
end of story.
Am I the only one with a sense of irony? LOL.Quote:

Yes. The Apogee blocks perform worse than the Storm blocks.Quote:

That nexus block looks to be a dog. Cant be certain just by looking at it, but with the 3 barb design and micro tubing, its already a non-starter in my book.
Nexxos XP wil rape the Apogee, but the MP-05 is essentially a suped up Nexxos that uses larger fittings, and is cheaper, so really no reason to get the Nexxos if your in the USA.
I´m not in the USA and i can´t get the MP-05, so i´ll have to take the Nexxos. Thanks for answering, was very close to getting the Apogee.
Nexxos is by far the best waterblock widely available in Europe AFAIK.
what's the difference between the MP-05 SP/Pro/Extreme waterblocks?? I see they look slightly different and have different nozzles? Are the nozzes the only difference? Most places are giving the optional nozzle kit for free along with the waterblock.
