you know i thought that in the product pic number 2 wold be best and in your results it was... i must have learnt something D= !! yay me =D
Got a question, which "plate" would you recommend for a system with 5 blocks + 2 radiators + 2x D5's? (for an i7)
this is a hard one hey, you'll have plenty of pump power, but so much restriction.Quote:

:shakes: and i was already wondering about the two identical plates (1 installed, 1 loose) :rofl: will get in contact with you :DQuote:

I don't expect a block to cool down the water, normally that's a result of differing conditions with the radiator (and possibly the fans).Quote:

I think Scamps will not retest this block.
As Xandrus said, it's more of a preview than a review. I'm pretty sure the fantastic guys who usely test these Great things, Bundymania, Vapour, Skinnee and HESmelaugh. Will be all be doing they own tests.
scamps - german MAN, no reason to mistrustQuote:

@Cele303
The HF seems to be at least 3° better on the cores and it has a much better flow. So do it!
@Captain H.N.
As you will know the real testing of "our toys" requires a better and more exact equipment than I owe. My Aquaero, sensors and software tools are absolutely good enough for my private needs, but not for any kind of laboratory testing. I just wanted to know if the HF is at eye level with the Heatkiller 3.0. And now I know he is.
The missing stock plate wonīt show better cooling performance than the 3 stripe plate, it will be somewhere between the two I have already tested.
For me itīs a good idea to mistrust any test you find on the web or at least compare different results. If a "toy" seems to be interesting to me I prefer to test it on myself and in my own system.
my first test rounds with the Supreme HF are done and i agree with scamps ! The HF is as good as the Heatkiller 3.0 (copper version) ! :clap:Quote:

This is good news! Way to go Eddy! :clap:

Depending on how much the nozzle plates contribute to pressure drop, you could see a fairly dramatic improvement to flow rate. Assuming a similar relationship to culvert entrance losses, you could see up to something like a 40% reduction in head loss going from a square (Lazer Cut) type edge to something nicely rounded.

Not sure the extra flow relates to anything measureable thermally, but it I can't see how it could harmful.
Eddy how is the white acetal top version coming along? I've got Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket. :)
i'm waiting for the final review of this new unit :D
