Can't wait for your testing, Hondacity.

I received a Koolance 350 last week ... I was just a bit underwhelmed by the finish on this block - on the top plate, in particular. Picky, I know :p:

Test against the Koolance :

@faster3200: don´t care about more flow, it takes no effect, if ya got 150 liters/h (like me) or 200 liter ....or even more !

Just because the graph doesn't go past 210l/h doesn't mean there's no effect :rolleyes:

Typical gain with a Fuzion V2 when going above .7GPM is in the neighborhood of 1.5-2C....and it does seem to keep scaling past what I tested.

Contrary to what you're saying, added flow can (and often does) do something (and this is on the Fuzion V2, a block purported to be flow-agnostic).

Take a look at the GTZ graph in the link you provided....notice the sharp decline in temps as the flowrate increases? What if you continue to increase flow past what was tested (e.g., to a flowrate most USA WCers would run, like 2x+ that)? :stick:

In the same link, the Supreme and the Ybris A.C.S. also have pretty aggressive scaling with flow. Clearly flow is helping a lot more than "nothing" :eh:

Are you guys done....YET???

I'm waiting for results here. Now quite yer clickety clickety, and start benching ASAP!...

Just kidding...:p:

The block looks like good supreme competition, and I've always had a soft spot for all metal/copper construction. That's one thing I really liked about the Stinger V8 and Enzotech blocks. Delrin/acetal works, but there's just something about an all metal block that spews durability/quality/I mean business.

We just need some high flow dedicated loop DDC with top or D5 performance type of testing....

Carry on with the goodnes..:up:
Take it easy and have fun, and looking forward to some more results..:up:

Back to my easy chair...would you mind handing me the remote?...:D

Hi bundymania, do u know how/what they did to remove the copper treatment before nickel plating? I'll have to check it with my local nickel plate shop see if they can do that. too bad i cant buy it directly from watercool.de :(

afaik it's just a clear layer of paint, but the easiest way to know for sure is to drop an e-mail to watercool.de

most of the time they reply within a few hours :up:

If you find out can you post here? After seeing that I am pretty sure more than a few people will be interested in nickel plating.

Every time someone posts something new and the thread moves to the top I get all excited looking for some #'s. Nice to see it is on a bench now! This thread is like crack.

When is sidewinder going to get the GPU heatkillers???

Also what happened to the real silver plated bitspower fittings?! Now all there seems to be is this stupid "shining silver" which is not actually real silver at all...

Very strong flow rate, and I can't get over how tuff they look. Pumps can probably run 5 years like that with the EL v2 tops.

Anyways, still haven't gotten around to swapping out the KL 350 with the HK3. Been having to much fun benching the dual GTX 295's.:yepp:

well there are alot of people with dual 295s but no one with your testing experience and both waterblocks

just think about it :p:

thanks for the heads up,

How would I even try to integrate this into my case? I sorta want it...Guess it would have to piggyback (really piggyside)

You´re right more like piggyside depend on your taste. I used to use that radiator before with socket 939. It can run passively with stock x2 3800 + nb + older generation of GC.
On oc system it need some fans or just put single huge fans othwerwise it get warmer passively and the temperature increase rapidly. It has dense fins desity though.
