Just mount your FuZion, look at the results, and in a few days we'll have more accurate results from Eddy's block and THEN you can decide what to do, but like I said... for now, just mount that FuZion with nozzle :)

expect to see a review from our friends at hardware canucks in the coming days (depends how quickly EK wants to send a sample over there).
I agreeQuote:

it does look good....if the fuzion gained say 4 degrees from bow + nozzle then it would be the same (according to the graph posted earlier...). This is still a much nicer and the design seems much different from the fuzion.
I would definitly buy this block if that were the case.
I want to see some real life quad core tests...preferably with a B3 stspping CPU
Yeah me too. Since the fuzion nozzles are only $6 and available out of the box, it may as well be a comparison against the best combination currently available.Quote:

Time will tell, but this is very good to see. I really expected swiftech to come back and make a new product to shine past the fuzion, but with EK's top notch quality, I'd happily replace my fuzion with the EK if private party testing shows it to be better.:up:
:shocked: WOW I know the block I'm going to get when it comes out :up:. It's Beautiful :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:Quote:

I knew a thinner base would help, but I definatly didn't think about something like this... just goes to show innovations will always be made.
sort of reminds me of that thermalright waterblock
damn its $73usd i might just keep my nuzzled d-tek for now
That's $80aud which isn't to bad as the d-tek fuzion retail's for $95 + nozzle'sQuote:

Finally the europeans have a price advantage in hardware over the americans! :)
On EK's website it is €49,95, the fuZion costs €68,99 at aquatuning.de, that's almost €20,- cheaper.
I won't complain. :D
Eddy, any chance of making a copper top with options of plating in gold/silver/nickel for bling bling? :D
Who needs blingbling lol... black sexy delrin FTW :DQuote:

Marci, if you will, would you enlighten me on microchannel? I'm not familiar with that tech...
Reference book - http://www.edata-center.com/ebooks/b...121d74e61.html
Lots on Microchannels around the web - IBM use microchannels in their liquid cooling systems...
Has there been pressure drop curve data released for this block yet?
If thermal performance is coming out, why not release the pressure drop curve as well?
It would be great to see a comparison of the block, a stock fuzion, a nozzled 4.5mm fuzion, and the GTX.
From the looks of the stainless plate nozzle, I suspect there is a substantial improvement that could be made regarding pressure drop and that's simply to use a thicker nozzle plate and radius the inlet side to reduce the entrance losses.
It's obvious to me the slotted nozzle plate is the controlling factor regarding pressure drop. There is likey a fair amount in the microchannels as well, but making a small change like making the stainless nozzle plate out of 1/4" or 1/8" acetal and refining the nozzle to reduce entrance losses would prove beneficial IMHO.
In the article that Marci posted it says that microchannels don't need turbulence to perform well. So you might be right about the nozzle plate. I think that as long as water circulates well through the microchannels, the nozzles could be wider without affecting temps.Quote:

That would be great, thanks!:up:Quote:

but now that i am over here, I can get all my eddy blocks and barbs.... for cheaper! yeaaaa!
