Great job Swiftech on getting those samples out.
I never make the list, Guess i'm not well enough known.
Martin, mcoffey and nikshub will be PM'd to death until they release their test results...kinda glad I'm not on the review list for this one.
Are these (production samples) going to be like the standard all in one H2O120 and 220 kits that are already out?
Only with the GTX block built into them?
Is ST going to implement the GTX into the all in one kits?
I think its just the GTZ block?
Awesome thanks!Quote:

RRR offered to snuggle if you need some consoling.Quote:

Has any real information been released yet? The block isn't even on Swiftech's site yet.
please do not hesitate to call for support should any unanticipated problem arise.Quote:

Product information will be released the minute we ship to the the dealers, which is tomorrow.Quote:

Ahh, gotcha. I am really excited about this block.Quote:

Also, as I test on a single die dual core, should I try different mount orientations or is that not necessary? Thanks!
Will do, thanks!Quote:

We certainly prefer and recommend that the product be tested as shipped. We worked real hard on this retention system. Nonetheless, there is no prior agreement here, and we cannot dictate how people will end up using the block.Quote:

That's kind of what I'm thinking but want to know if the other mount provides a bonafide performance gain over what I've got.Quote:

I think after you do enough mounts as a tester, you get pretty good and consistent though. My E6600 round I had up to a 2C delta between mounts on my fuzion V1. So far on my second round, I'm down to about .5C at my worst even with the bowed blocks ans some down to .1-.2C between three remounts.Quote:

Cross post with Gabe... I think I'll just do 5 runs with my mount (as all other blocks have been tested) and then 5 with the OEM mount... will also tell me if the mount provides any benefit.
