If I were a manufacturer, there is no way in hell I would allow my product to be sent to a bunch of enthusiasts in a forum. For a manufacturer, there is zero upside. Only downside risk.

Tt never has to worry about what a couple of geeks in some forum think about its products.

I guess that's why there are hardly any MBA-types in the IT industry... all fired as soon as they open their mouths rofl :p:

I think Tony is confident on good results/reviews. Good results/reviews from known Peeps = market share.

Guys

Im thinking of taking Martin and Andyc up on the offer of testing. After doing some reading both are well respected and have done block reviews before so have a good data base to compare to.

My reasoning for asking for 2 reviews here on XS was this:

forum reviewers are usually much more thorough than site reviewers, especially when all they do is watercooling or memory etc. End users can chat back at them, the info flows in real time (bar the stupid questions you get) so we should see a good discussion along side some good testing.
Having 2 people also allows me to compare results, I run 4 blocks here 8 hrs a day but I have 1x 240V 90W pump with 30ft of head pressure and a 14gallon res feeding the loop so i am used to seeing results without a DDC or a D5 and a 120.3 etc. I also get to see if there are any mounting issues etc, and gain valuable feedback that i can push into the BOM for order no2.
As mentioned earlier i have hundreds of blocks in the first order just about to ship,there is a small issue regarding adding 4x2mm thick washers for those who will use the universal backplate (AMD boys) and then its good to go.

Andyc and Martin, i will do my best to get these blocks to you shipping tomorrow or Thursday, i have some paperwork to get together for UPS and then they can go. All I ask is any issues you report to me so i have at least a chance of sorting them and you are honest with your testing.

Thanks guys

thanks,

I think you're going to have the flu. I think its best to call in sick in work for a couple of days. You need to be at home relaxing and getting well. And testing tonys blocks.

:D

Welcome to water cooling OCZ. If their dedication to memory performance is any indication to the dedication to water cooling I think we will have a new viable player. Granted, when it comes to water cooling almost all the well known brands, Swiftech, EK, etc, all perform within a few degrees of each other and as Tony has stated, they are not out to get the "Performance" crown, but rather want to make a name for themselves in water cooling. My hat off to you Tony and your team. I look forward to seeing the results of the testing and wish you good luck in a very competitive business.

FYI,
After I get this tested, I'm sending it to Skinee for a work over.

Alot of people have sent me parts to test for the good of the forum and testing community, I want to do the same..:yepp:

Cheers to testing....:toast2:

@Skinee, let me know if you want my GTZ sample to test so you'll have something to compare against. Then Martin or myself can work along with you on your first couple of test runs if you run into any snags, or need help with your test set up and methodology.

The more the marrier I say. We need all the quality testers we can get here at XS IMO. And I think you'll do a great job.

andyc

Thanks guys...lets take this to PM's as not to muck up the thread here.

not just you scott. :P

i buy, and dont preview lately. Too busy to sit down and show off and then answer questions. :\

I pass on testing. I dont have the time to do an accurate and detailed test. Plus my testing methodology is all changed now because i linpack and not Prime or OCCT. So my data would only tell you if it was better then X block and not by how much greater.

I already have too many CPU to throw retesting on.
E6550, E6600, E8500, Q6600, Q9400, Q9550, Q9650, and a QX. oh and a very big guy thats 3.2ghz Extra Special (hint hint)

Rev. C0 C1 E0 G0 R0 :P

Gah... no more toys for me, please... I drowning in them already.

Only toy i want is the BP 780i block right now. But i'll even pay for a sample. :\

Allthough I would seriously give a left nut and a couple months pay for a crack at Agusta. But they got way to much money, and plenty of their own nuts down there, so that ain't gonna happen either.:rofl:

andyc

ROFL...

The courses in VA not that great? The 16th hole at my CC still gives me problems. RAWR! even after playing it for 8 yrs.

Looks good Tony!

If I ever decide to water cool another PC, I'll give one of these a try. (The last block I had was a swiftech storm)

Looks nice, but that internal pin structure seems like the pins are too big to provide optimal thermal transfer. Most pin matrices are smaller and closer packed to cause more turbulence as in the D-Tek Fuzion and Swiftech Apogee.

Hmm I wonder if I can use BP 3/4 OD compressions since there are screws sticking out, getting in the way.
