Like I saw it said on here someplace, if a dog turd would cool a CPU better than any block on the market, it would be used :rofl:Quote:

Thanks for popping by Gabe, it looks pretty sweet to me. Would love to add this to my 2x MCW60's and 2x MCW30's. Now all that's left is for Martin to get his hands on one :).
Yup! We like to have our cake and eat it too.:rofl: If the good looking components perform well, then everyone wins :yepp:Quote:

I'd be happy to test it with the other blocks. I'm about ready to take a break from the radiator testing so I'm getting ready to start back in on the CPU block testing pretty soon.
If not, no problem...
It's almost tuesday!
It's tuesday down here...;):DQuote:

your results will dictate if i buy it or not. :rofl:
And once again thank you for your work martin :up:

I draw the line at dog crap. Even if it could cool better, the smell would make the computer so unusable I'd never sit there long enough to look at the temps.Quote:

Seeing as people are using this as a chance to bring up preferences (and seeing as various manufacturers are reading this) thought I'd mention my preferences (although as mentioned by several others, performance counts first, and then you can shop around for good looks). Personally, I think acrylic is waaaay overdone, but that's mostly because I want to do something more reserved in my builds (I do have to look at them regularly after all), so I rather not have the guts of my computer looking like something from a the Vegas strip. To a certain extent just sticking to two or three predominate colors goes a long way towards achieving that, but eliminating excessive acrylic helps a lot as well. In the case of my latest build I opted for clear tubing with acetel blocks. Had I opted for acrylic blocks I probably would have gone with black tubing (or some other solid color) just to mute the overall look of the system.
Which brings me to why I'm even mentioning it in this thread. I really like the way EK releases 2 versions of their blocks, one with a clear acrylic top, and one with a solid black acetel top. It gives the builder a way to fine tune the look of the system. That said I understand that in some cases it's not economically feasible to have multiple versions of essentially the same block, but even selling an alternative replacement top to a particular block can go a long way towards getting not just the performance you want, but the looks you want as well.
Really anxious to see the guts of this new block, as well as some performance metrics, but as far as looks go, it's not bad. Not the best looking block I've ever seen, but definitely not the worst either. For me personally, if I was going to change it, I'd probably replace the mounting brackets with something flat black, but over all I'd be happy with it in my case as is (assuming it performs well anyway).
The mental image just hit my funny bone.
I can see it now, you click on Swiftechs site and the first thing that greets you is this:
Welcome!
Swiftech is proud to release our new waterblock.
The DT1.. Better performance, formed from one solid block of 100% pure copper to satisfy Naekuh!
Try the new DT1 or Dog Turd as we call it!:up:
LOL! :rofl:
:rofl: That's a good one...
will there be a TEC version of this block to? that would be killer!
I retested it a few weeks ago, I just need to create the new trendlines and plug it in. It's still not as strong as the DDCs with tops, but it may be a little better than the curve that's currently in there.Quote:

It's just not fair to the previous sample providers to drop what's already been submitted..Quote:

My vote for best tester on this forum goes to Niksub1..:up:
He's the pioneer of the 5 mount method I've been following anyhow which I agree 100% is a must do for any worthwhile test results (Accuracy better than 2 degrees).
Wise move on your part, Martin :)
I agree Nihksub1 would be the right guy to do a proper testing :up:
