I could tell from his portuguese words that he is not Brazilian.
We here speak "brasileiro", not portuguese, as our "patrícios" say.

Until last year I always said I spoke Portuguese, until I went to visit Portugal and a LOT of guys told me that I spoke "brasileiro" :rolleyes:
Just check some subtitles forums, every Portuguese complaint about some subtitles labeled as Portuguese is in reality "brasileiro".
I didn't create this, I just testified it ;)
um abraço!

damn those elbows look good on the new model :D
I really hope there will be an copper top once!

Bugkalot is a real show off, that's for sure ;)

We do speak American English, as those from the UK speak English. Has to be similar to the subtle differences between Portugal and Brazil.

Is the GTZ compatible with the Rampage Formula and Rampage Extreme?

Thanks!

The reason I asked is because I read somewhere that I´d have to make some adaptations to the backplate to fit the rampages. Is that true?

I have the rampage and the standard swiftech and D-tek fuzion back plates both fit it.
I would imagine the new GTZ backplate is the same.

GO to the very 1st post in this thread & you see the back plate (the Black thing under the block) & Yes it will fit the Rampage Formula in fact Quite well !

Thanks for the info.

Sounds about right.
Depends on what program you are using to monitor
temps with. Most arent real accurate.
Also depends on your radiator size and ambient temps.

I have an older e8400 and the DTS sensors stick about half the time

I got this block, but for some reason it feels a bit "strange" with these 45 deg fesser barbs I got.

There holes are not flat at the same level with the rest of the block surface. It looks like they made it so the o-ring sits but because these 45 deg barbs are big I cannot see if it actually sits the o-ring in place.

Any experinced people used this block with 45feg compression barbs? Thanks.

i don't know if the these barbs in particular are any different than other compressions, but i'm pretty sure it's widely held that you need a thicker o-ring when using non-swiftech barbs with the gtz. just search the forum it's been brought up more than once.

Yup! I swapped the O's from the included barbs to the BP compressions I decided to use. The process was suprisingly annoying but the fit is very nice. :up:

I thought and did the same. As I said it feels weird when you tighten them as the barb itself is bulky and it is hard to feel the o-ring siting in the cavity.

I guess leak testing will tell the truth, but it should be fine as you already tested it :D

thanks.

Thanks to Gabe and Michelle for their grateful customer support!

After an issue with my GTZ that lose water from the edge, with one screw do not fasten the block to the base... They send from California to Italy a new copper base-plate! :)

Guys you are great :clap:


This is the new copper base-plate fasten to my GTZ block
