Koolance - 350 Disassembled and close up.

I didnt want to amend to another person's thead so i decided to make my own.

Anyhow First off i would like to thank dean for these wonderful samples. I will throw them on my rack this weekend and do some tests with it.

But the high res pictures...

When you open the nice box this is what it comes with:

The number 1 question that is to be asked is will BP compressions fit? I think most likely:

Theres a lot of room as you can see with koolance compressions: (ewww sorry about the dirty compression, didnt clean up after)

How big is the block? Here is some comparisions:

So how does this thing look under? As you open the block its in 3 pieces:

Is it overall sexy?

Performance numbers will come this weekend. Im getting prep'd

Thank you for reading. :up:

Thanks for pics, looking forward to the testing.

very nice

Looks alright in Delrinz.

Though I really don't like the look of the mounting bracket.

Also are the bolts holding your supreme together rusted?

O.o

Ahahaha, that must have been quite the experience.

:rofl:

Is the PT6 mobo standard ATX? mine is at DD so I cannot check it out ;)

nice pix btw

Good presentation of the block, the material is solid or plated

uhhh...

code to a unlocked Neha-EP @ 3.2 :X

I think you know where im getting at... If i say anymore ima get spanked... so please dont ask.. :X


Dean said it was solid copper core, with nickle plating.

standard ATX, which is one reason why i got it. It needs to fit in a torture rack after i get my gainestown up.

hey naekuh, can you give me the length of those square pins in the middle via calipers?

Nice work Naekuh!

Good to see some inside pics and mounting. Looking forward to the numbers.

nice pics...i guess i'm the only with the acryllic top:D

Thanks for the pics. Looking forward to the testing.

my digital ones i ordered from habor hasnt come in yet. :\

I was looking for my sidewinder T ruler, but i cant seem to find that either.

When i find something yeah i intend to messure the diameter, and that pin matrix. :P

Unless dean asks me not too.

But that would come with my numbers i get this weekend.

thanks man!

Looking great! - I'm excited to see if it competes on par with EK! I like the internals, with all the water being channeled to the outside.

Thanks for Testing NaeKuh!

Any results from testing yet? :stick:

Yea sorry guys i was taking apart Sakura.

I have a WIP on the Build, In the WIP Log under Eva - Chan.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=210791

Once she gets built, which i should start assembling tomorrow, i'll give ya some core temps.

i'm surprised with the quality, but the mounting plate is very unattractive. The GTZ & Fusion V2 are much more attractive.

Coolant observed at 26-27C...

the block isnt that bad once you get a good mount...

Had a hard time getting a good mount done tho...

i need to go back tweeking my chip... sorry for the censorship, its still under NDA... as you can see its a gainestown.

Will do a longer load temp with just real temp and OCCT after i get my 4ghz.. @#@!#@!#!@ stupid 160 wall...

Could you give us an idea of where this block stands amongst the competitors? Would you dare say it is in the same category as the GTZ etc?

Do you wanna whack it on a 775 cpu so you can compare it?

now thats a sexy block! why did you bleep out all cpu info? is that chip not released yet? I dont know im not really following i7 atm as I cant upgrade for a while

yeah i intend on dropping my EK Supreme on soon... probably next week...

But momi u gota love those even temps.. :rofl:

My whole computer is still a mess wire wise.. but i promised you guys numbers...

My setup was using a Dual inlet Fed DDC-2 x 2 straight to in on the koolance 350

Then to PA and back to res:

Says gainestown... not bloomfield.. :up:

I like the orange zipties..... has a Techno feel to it... :up::ROTF:

Well those temps are high but people were getting 80s with their loops which makes me :banana: bricks.

no these suckers RUN HOT... i kid not...

Anyhow Final 10 min temps...

wasnt gonna go anywhere else..

Ambients recorded at 25.6
Coolant Temp recorded @ 26.5 - 26.7

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...FinalTemps.jpg

I think my chip also runs very HOT...

im really loving the flat out temps...
Im getting closer to 4 also. :P

Trademark PissedVille Secret... :rofl:

Hey what is the 'safe' temperatures for i7?

ES chips run hotter than retail chips too, please don't forget to mention this. Any temps you see here, can not be duplicated by retail chips.

Thanks for that.

What are the retail chips normally hitting with a moderate OC? I think most people's were ES's.

okey i figured out the perfect mount....

You apply tim in a diagonal line from one corner to the other. Not all the way.

Clamp the block and TWIST it a full 360.

So far 5 remounts and all remounts reported all even temps across all 4 cores. Also im using this wash direction.. Inlet on the left, outlet on the right. Allign your sqaure pin matrix so its alligned with your cpu.

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/IMG_0152.jpg

Im really loving this block...
I'll see if i throw on the EK later on... however my HD4870X2 just decided to die... I ordered a new Saphire HD4870X2, so i guess ima break xfire again...

I decided to ditch my SAS controller entirely and go second HD4870X2

Buy some clamps

I'm getting 61C at 100% load at 3733mhz on air with a TRUE and 87CFM fan..
Those are constant numbers since I first set it up.
You have one HOT chip my friend!:sofa:

oh i know it....

:rofl:

i always end up getting the HOTEST date.. :rofl:

The huge variation in load temperatures for the Ci7 CPUs is leading me to think that a lot of this may be due to poor calibration. I mean, think of it from the standpoint of a chip designer... what's the point in spending money for an accurate, precise, and properly calibrated part when all it really needs to be is a ballpark 'I'm too hot/I'm doing fine' indicator? Along those lines, one chip could read 10c high and another 5c low.

Thoughts? It's something that almost makes me want to go through Intel's white papers to see if they actually define a tolerance for the CPU's temperature sensors (nevermind that they're, more or less, reading point heat).

You are using an ES chip right? I ask because if you are, then your results don't really mean anything for people who have retail.

Love them to death.

Makes routing a lot easier, and i dont need to worry about mosfet fans anymore...

You should get a set to Martin for comparative flow rate / thermal testing. Same for that 350, I bet he would have the bench ready and waiting before the UPS guy pulled in the drive,,,,,,

Martin doesn't test anymore.

that would give martin a reason to fly over to cali, just so he can throw the 350 at me.

WB he's retired...

i was gonna send skinnee one, but i think he's got samples..

need to ask him again..

Samples of what?

didnt dean send you a koolance -350?

if he didnt... i'll send you one to borrow to throw on your meters...

I have one waiting in the wings...just can't run thermals on it presently. I don't have an i7 setup yet, still saving my pennies. :D

---

yeah thats what i was thinking...

which is why i didnt send you one with the DDC sink i sent ya... :rofl:

I'll see if i can get thermals against the EK.

Thats the only block i can compare it too right now, and we need a comparision.

I know we need thermals...I should have an i7 setup after the holiday.

2 Questions: do the BP 1/2" compression fittings fit on the 350?
Is it really that much better than a GTZ?

I was just wondering the same thing.

i just tried it...it won't fit on the k350

ok thanks
