I just paid €60 for a second hand storm and I'm gonna pay about €80 for an AQX 50Z. WC prices in europe can suck my fat one...
At least my PA will be kind of cheap-ish.
Yeah, european watercooling prices isn't funny at all. Translated to USD my Swiftech Storm Rev 1 cost me about 100$+ I'm not kidding.Quote:

yeah, or are they too small to measure?Quote:

I was going to buy a Storm, so I guess I have to wait for rev. 2.
creidiki: Do you know some good and cheap UK shops for watercooling components (Storm, MCP655 and Thermochill PA120.3), that ships inside EU?
Cheers Monge
Check the sticky for UK shops.. i bought my AX stuff from E-P, and my thermochill stuff from O-Cuk... aaaand i cant remember where i got my storm from >.>"
Thanks :) I saw the sticky now.Quote:

Hey Maxxx, have you tested the blocksyet ? Would be fun to see some results !
vik, I havnt even recieved all of hte blocks, much less all of the equipment yet. lol
Oh, okey then I understand. My bad. :P
A lot of money indeed for a few plates... PS what does PA stand for?
I know it must be a radiator, just don't know the abbreviation :D
I never noticed how few jets the swiftech storm had. How many did the G4 and G% have and how many will the G7 have. I rmemeber counting them all but do not remember and am not in the modd to do so now.
Its not an abbreviation. Its the name of the series of radiators that thermochill makes. Thers the PA series and the HE series.Quote:

Just to recap what the G-numbers mean 'cos there's still some confusion over this:
G1 = 1 jet
G2 = 7 jets
G3 = 19 jets
G4 = 35-37 jets (implemented G4 has 35 jets)
G5 = 55-61 jets (implemented G5 has 59 jets)
G6 = 85-91 jets
G7 = 117-127 jets (implemented G7 has 117 jets)
G8 = 155-169 jets (could only machine on aerospace quality equipment)
I have only seen the G4 w/ 35 jets. Are the G5,G6,G7, & G8 special order blocks or are they Cathar's roadmap for WB's to come in the future?
The G1, G2, G3 are theoretical designs, never implemented. Same goes for the G6 and G8. The G5 is a limited run silver waterblock, and the G7 has been prototyped.Quote:

if someone will get me exat dimensions on the diameter of the new hole, exact width and depth of the new grooves, and the diameter and depth of the hole recess, i can mill your rev. 1 plates out.
Yes you are correct. close to 70% of the cost of the storm is in the mid and upper plates. For the record, I truly did not like calculating this MSRP either. It is a painful reminder of how much of a challenge these parts are to make.Quote:

The curves should be posted Monday evening. It really is an incremental improvement (read "minor"). But given how restrictive this block is, everything helps in the context of a system.
Cheers
Gabe, would you say its worth getting the new midplates in a loop where the storm is the only majorly restrictive piece?
Is it "worth" it is a very subjective question. In general terms, anything you can do to increase the flow rate in a system using a Storm w/b will improve system performance. In terms of value, the "bang for the buck" factor resulting from an incremental improvement such as Rev 2 is very low. But if money is no object, then Rev 2 remains an improvement, however small. In auto racing people sometimes spend thousands of $ on parts made of Titanium alloy to shave a couple of lbs off the weight of the race car. Is it worth it?Quote:
