Which of these 2 blocks would you prefer? Dtek, Apogee GT?
Well, I brought two FuZions and one Apogee GT home, and I ended up choosing the Apogee GT. On a QX6700.
I seem to have a base issue with my Apogee GT so I contacted Shoppts to ask quoc his recommendation here and since he cant physically see my block in person, he cant really give me an answer, however I'm thinking about changing my block for the D-Tek Fusion, was hoping this might be a "better" performing block. One more shout out for QUOC @ www.shoppts.com. Your awesome!Quote:

I thought the same thing yesterday, but im not, it was just colder outside. I sent back my ApogeeGT for the new D-Tek Fusion in hopes that the Fusion is the better block. My DELTA from idle to load was nearly 27c. That is ridiculous if you ask me. I could understand if it was a quad core, but its only a E6600 using 1.45Vcore (actual is 1.408) I hope the D-Tek fusion performs better. Wish me luck!Quote:

Different block for a different situation. Correct? Not everyone's cpu is alike.
ya sure IanY
but for me i will go with the Apogee for the least restriction
Err, the Fuzion is FAR less restrictive than the apogee.Quote:

I can't find a person using this block that has a dual core. I had a bad experience with my ApogeeGT block, and hope the FUZION makes me feel better about switching to H2O.

then for sure i wil go with the Dtek
I prefer the Apogee personally. I just can't stand the way the Fuzion looks.
If they are "close" in performance, that is good enough for me.
I like the apogee gt over the fuzion myself.
I have the Storm, Apogee GT and FuZion........I went with the Fuzion because temps are as good if not better than the others and the flow is WAAAYYYYY better with the Fuzion!

If you like the Storm, then its a contradiction to say that flow is the end all and be all of blocks. The fact is that a Storm design does not have the best flow, but for a long time it was unequaled. I would submit that flow has nothing to do with how good a block is. I chose the Apogee GT because my eventual temps were 2 to 3 degrees better, and that was after over 20 mountings... a very long and tedious process.
Wow, I had no idea the Fuzion had this much "favor"
3-to-1 is about right. Its not so much about FuZion having "favor" as much as Swiftech having "hate." lol Swiftech is almost like the Microsoft of water blocks heh
Well how can i say that your test is right by the time you don't supply any images and the whole data of the test?What pump,what radiator,what cpu what voltage etc?Show to us a complete test to see what is going on!:toast:Quote:

I could care less if anyone would want to call my tests incorrect, or that I'm a n00b or a liar or a retard or whatever else anyone wants to call me... trust me, I've heard it *all* before :)
Having said that, I would be happy to share test setups and conclusions via PM :)

No Swiftech is the Microsoft of waterblocks to this forum, but its not as dominant as Microsoft is compared to like Apple.Quote:

I was going to get the apogee but were back ordered now have a fusion coming
why is the fuzion so popular ... ?
Its popular because its not from Swiftech. Its sad but that's the unfortunate answer.
Also, as far as this forum goes, the model name "Apogee" has a lot of baggage. The unplaced hatred for the original Apogee was mind boggling.
3-to-1 is about the right ratio I expected out of this poll, never mind that the Swiftech Storm Rev 2 is still the best water block for a regular dual core cpu :)
