Gtz
What about the new koolance block? I heard their new stuff is actually pretty good. Are there any numbers/comparisons for it? Doesn't EK have an offering as well? The Gtz is better than all of these?
I heard D-tek was having problems with their manufacturing partner? That's why there is a delay.
I don't care. I want a block and I want it now.Quote:

That's the current buzz.
iirc the only reason we heard about the koolance block being good was naekuh's failure lolQuote:

there is a guy who makes brass mounting plates for D-Teks in what ever hole config you want (1366 included) now the good thing about Brass is its not gonna bow under pressure, your gonna kill the chip before the mounting plate ;)
Salapao, thats genius!
Did you use an EK one and bend it, or make your own?
That looks pretty good
I flip d-tek promount and make from this tools.

Sorry for my bad english
i retested it.Quote:

Right now its 18C down there.. :\
I told you guys i had imporper mounting pressure, showed a 4-5C difference when correcting that mounting pressure. :up:
It was a simple mistake, no one really knew the block was bowed (i should of read the documentation more carefully, however i was rushing the build to get results out and missed the first page).
I even told my pal gillbot and skinnee and there were honestly quite supprised.
Its honestly the first block i can think of that koolance has bowed. :up:
About its design, Both Nikhsub1 and i both agree that the tweeked fusion design, which is the KL-350 design would be the best block on an I7.
Hands down.
So the test was only a verification of what both he and i thought. :P
So yeah, if your sick of the fusion, you a simular design block, you need to get another fusion, or the 350.
Bah supreme at 18C ambients is crazy un fair compared to the kl-350 @ 23-24C ambients. :P
I don't see how the 350 performs so well without a center inlet... What is to stop water from going in the exit holes and out the center? Answer; nothing. The block from what I can see is poor design and not thought out well at all. I could make the block perform much better without blinking an eye.
I would get the ek supreme or aqua's double impact.
center inlet is 45 degree so you can fit compressions.Quote:

The middle plate is like a nozzle the d-tek has, and the block is bowed. Abet not as bowed as the d-tek with the larger oring, but it has a bow.
The difference is the micropin structure. The center base pins more mirror a GTZ.
The center injector is even shaped so it channels water just like the d-tek nozzle, so scott what are you talking about?
So what do you not quite get?
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/IMG_0143.jpg
And scott how is it a poor design? its eating my EK supreme from first testing.
And people who use them are reporting very happy temps.
Infact show me why the D-tek is better with higher pressure pumps, because i can see the higher profile pins being an excess then helping with high pressure.
My mistake, I thought that the top was side to side inlet/outlet... Or perhaps it is and that is the mid plate?
Edit, ok is that the top? Just the bottom side pictured? Seems to me the plastic clear piece is not even needed... if you could get a 5mm nozzle in the center of the top, no reason for the plastic piece. Would be much less restrictive too.
now i'm confused. What is the best block I can get? I will likely have a GPU block in the loop at some point in the future.

I don't like getting into "best arguments" because what is "the best" for one person may not be for another...YMMV. Your setup may also vary.
I don't think anyone would be disappointed with the GTZ.
D-teck V2 + sock 1366
dremel +10min works
sory for my english

Good pics Lexus, very clear :up:
Your English is good enough, and you did let the pics do the talking :up:
I don't know if I would trust that, using the metal washers seems like it would result in a much more secure mounting.
I think Dtek will be releasing the backplate soon...like as in first week for February....
I hope...I really want to keep my V2 block....but man they are lagging...
From what I was told by D-TEK switched the manufacturing facility that make their brackets. Bad timing but you have to do what you have to do I suppose.
Pick up some of those wider metal washers from your local hardware store, should be enough to apply a good amount of pressure securely.Quote:

Not a big fan of the GTZ.....how about the HeatKiller 3.0? I like the looks of the EK Supreme LT too... BTW, Salapao, great work! :up:
Ok, so if anyone is interested I had a hold down bracket from the Fuzion v1 and it does fit the Enzotech I7 adapter, so this could be a solution for those with the D-Tek.
