Honestly I don't see the point... I can tell by looking at it it won't be that good, I don't like to waste my time :yepp:

Maybe the new revision will involve a convex base or a bowed base.
Yeah, that is very likely.
A thinner base with a bow combined with an improved FuZion design in EnzoTech looks and competitvely priced, that is undoubtfully a winner to me.
EDIT: When EnzoTech are at it, a set of nozzles would be the icing on the cake :D

To set the record straight:
Your contact is either misinformed, or distorting the truth in an attempt to take away credit from Swiftech for designing the product.
First of foremost: Swiftech specified the form factor and design of the MC14, paid for and owns the tooling for it. The only choice Enzotech had to release a 14x14 product was to change the number of pins and cough up the tooling cost. Fair enough, but justifying the revision by a desire to improve upon performance is pure marketing propaganda.
Second and final: the Pin Fin is neither the manufacturer's design, not their intellectual property.
I think it looks really good
arrived in Hong Kong, can't wait to get one :D

Retail version copper base thickness compared with FuZion :D

you always get lucky first :( Waiting to read some tests, please before I purchase my blocks.
A disgusting unscrupulous copy of various successful designs.. reminds me of Japanese cars..
looks ok but ill stick with my fuzion i hope the nozzles come out soon because im waiting to get those before i put my loop together
Base is still too thick... on the enzo what u see is the base thickness. On the D-Tek the base in sunken in... the enzo is not.
Wow that's a thin midblock, I'm suprised pressure drop doesn't suffer from that.
I ordered a slide vice for my drill press, maybe I'll experiement with some ultra thin base blocks and see how they do...
Not to mention a total ripoff of the name of an Italian supercar.
These people will reap what they sow. I can see the legal eagles descending on them someday.
I still will buy either a Fuzion or swiftech..not sure yet but most likely the fuzion.
Instead of stating what you think you "know", hows about finding out if these guys have paid to use certain properties from different manufacturers before slating them?
Last time I checked, more products = more choice. If those choices perform well, they will force the competition to keep on their toes or price their pieces more attractively.
Some test results here ;)
Let's see the package and the Enzotech SCW-1 CPU waterblock first

Test Method:
(1) Start up Coretemp, CPU-Z and stress Prime 2004 orthos(standby)
(2) Standby 5mins to record the standby temperature
(3) Start SP2004 and running it for 10mins. and to record the temperature every 1 minute asm indicated by coretemp
(4) Complete the SP2004 for 10mins. as well as the record of temperature
(5) At 12mins. for SP2004, stop it, and record the dropping of CPU temperature
(D) Here we go the Test:

temp difference seem minimal....don't think i would change my fuzion for 2c-3c i'ma wait until the accelarator nozzles are out might outperform the enzotech block.....
What's the flow like on the enzotech block?
do u rekon you could start a new thread and do a more in depth review?
maybe with the d-tek fuzion the enzotech block and the swiftech gtx
i would like to see that block on a quad.....if possible
cheers
Thanks for the result... Seems that Dtek is better in term performance vs price ratio. At least for me :)
Hmm, I have only run a couple of passes with the enzotech block but it is not outperforming the fuzion or the bowed Apogee's thus far...
TinTin and nikhsub1, is it the revised blocks you are testing?
Sorry, if I have missed something, but I'm a bit confused of its the first or second vision :)
/Thomas
You know, if swiftech would come out with the copper top as part of the package instead of the additional cost, they they would be untouchable. It doesn't have to be mado of copper but the enzo looks pretty.
I think that all these blocks are well designed and you can't loose with either one. I suppose it comes down to appearance preference rather than performance and I have to admit the swiftech with the brass is #1 but last for the cost.
