I just read through the past 4 pages. :shakes:

In this thread....?
U obiously wasnt around when the GTX was launched... man he took a beating :rolleyes:

:clap: to Gabe for taking so much beating but still keep his cool and stick it out.

I kinda figure the mcw60 is the next for a big upgrade.
Its a fairly older cooler and seems to be (up to the task)
as far as newer gpus go for adaptibility and performance.

How do the software folks say it...when it's done?...:p:

30 mounts down....many many more to go...

30 mounts!?! That's not just one block is it? god, I hope you're kidding man. :(

Make that 38 mounts now plus several I didn't count just experimenting....there's alot of blocks sitting here about a dozen or so, starting out with 3 mounts for the first run through on each block, then validating with two more mounts on another day. Some blocks are getting muliple runs for nozzle changes....

But yeah, I've gone through ALOT of thermal paste already and the skin on my fingers hurts from all the mounting...:eek:

I still have a ways to go, but so far my validation is checking out really good:up:

Back on topic, did I see a booth babe?...:D

You have destroyed my innocence. I don't know whether to stockpile now or just buy it then.

I mean, Swiftech do LOTS of testing, there is no doubt. I would say they test and retest more than any mfgr around. Whether you choose to believe their data is up to you, but like I said I have no reason to doubt it.

Great post!

Dammitalltohell! Couldn't wait for the pressure drop test results. Bought one early this morning from PPC's....on "sale" at $59....and I'll probably regret it, what with it going in a 4 block loop.

Oh well, I'll never learn about being an early adopter guinea pig........ ;)

Sorry I'm taking so long, I'm having a really hard time with ambient temperatures and repeating tests, so my stuff is going to take a while yet.

But for flow, don't worry too much about it, the GTZ is not an extremely restrictive block, it's more average to average/high.

I havn't done pressure drop testing yet, but I have been recording as tested or resulting flow rates that I get with an XSPC res top DDC3.2 and TFC 480 with my flow meter. Here are some relative flow rates to give you an idea:

D-Tek Fuzion V2 = 2.15 GPM
Apogee GTZ = 1.86 GPM
EK Supreme = 1.52 GPM

Hope that holds you over. If I can't sort out this thermal testing faster, I'll go ahead and switch to some pressure drop testing for a while. I know I can do that quickly.

Does more than hold me over. :p: Pressure testing is the one thing I am interested in and this gives me a rather large bite of the cookie.

Cheers.

Thanks Martin.......but I didn't mean to browbeat you into revealing info before you were ready. It's just new tubing arriving this week, new compression fittings too.....and my old D-Tek V1 is looking for a new home now...in the wife's computer. Add to that the price of the GTZ was reasonable at $59 and I just had to buy. But the pressure drop doesn't look that drastic after all.

I do appreciate the info! Hope my DDC2 is up to the task!

seriously - i just got into WC and brought v1 of fuzion just before v2 was released - is it really worth it for me to get a fuzionV2?

Unless you live or die for 1C, don't worry. I have both myself and they perform great for me ;)

As Xilikon has said, no its not worth the upgrade.
