A little about the setup: I used a 30x30mm heat source hooked up to a DC power supply outputting 100 watts, a Lytron chiller was used to keep the flow at a constant temp and to regulate flow, a load cell was used to make sure each block was mounted to the same pressure, an inline flow meter measured flow rate and a pressure transducer on the inlet and outlet measured pressure drop across the coldplate, temp was monitored by thermalcouples at the center of "case" of the heater and also in the fluid flow at the inlet and outlet.
-Thermal resistance was calculated by {(Tcase - T inlet fluid) /power}
-Pressure drop was simply {inlet pressure - outlet pressure}
-After a 2 hr block burn in i waited for steady state and took data at .5gpm, 1gpm,1.5gpm and 2gpm

As you can see the Fuzion has better thermal performance at all flow rates but what is more impressive is the pressure drop!:eek:
with pressure drop this low this block will be perfect for systems that have alot of components (like multiple water cooled cpus / AMD 4x4) and you could run them off one pump.....i need to make a performance vs pump power graph ....in my experience thermal performance increase as pressure drop increases (a-la storm) but the ability of the Fuzion to have this good of a performance with this lillte pressure drop is incredible.
one other thing to note is that my chiller's pump could not push more than 2.5 gpm through the Storm, and 3.5 gpm with the apogee, but the fuzion would go all the way to 4 gpm (close the max of my chiller) and its performance kept getting better where as the thermal performance of the other two were leveling off.
nice work h20 frag monger :toast:
LOL yes, turbulence in tubing greater than turbulence in Storm. Hmmmm... I have to think about that one. If it is kinking it isn't getting a tighter bend true. But if it doesn't kink it is getting a tighter bend, don't you think? My masterkleer is deforming and kinks when I try to put it over barbs(Because I use my twisting strategy, not too good for tubes). But I don't mind, because I won't have sharp bends. And one thing, edit what you said about "I trust manufacturer specs". Because its wrong. Masterkleer is supposed to have a bend radius of 1. some inches, but when you bend it that tight, it kinks and the rest of the tube starts to collapse on itself.Quote:

This looks very impressive so far. It would be nice to see where the MP-05 SP LE fits in the equation.
Wow nice work H20!
If the block really performs that much better than anything else in real life on a real CPU I just have to get myself one of those for my watercooling setup (whenever I can afford one :()
Ummm....someone please correct me if miscalculated...but aren't we talking about 0.2C at 100 watts? That's hardly "pwned"...Quote:

Was thinking the same thing...Quote:

Well, you know, there were these claims of 5 C(or F) better temps floating around and other hoopla. If you consider that a “pwning” performance...as I’ve said before, everyone is entitled to his opinion. Personally, I'm keeping my Apogee (well, it's a 1U so it's not like I can change it anyways! :p:)Quote:

Now i'm even more tempted to mod my 6002 to have 4 outlets like I was going to do a long long time ago... lol.
Well okay that's impressive.Quote:

Looking at that test, while the performance gain over the Storm (temperature-wise) isn't anything to write home about, doing so at less than half the pressure drop of the original Apogee is nothing short of amazing.Quote:

Good jobs guys really nice!:toast:
H2o are you going to make any test in cpu's?THanks!
This computer stuff just has so many factors, that claims could just be the user's own fault. What if the person who got 5C better temps happened to put too much thermal paste and not apply enough pressure? There are just so many possible outcomes that could come to be as a result of this kind of stuff, you need a whole lot of 5C claims to say it really does get 5C better, because the chance that everyone is screwing up and saying BS is much smaller.Quote:

do not neglect consideration of the relatively 'huge' heat source, not so sraight forward as it seems
in any case Swiftech has shot themselves in the foot, again
sigh, 1.6M shares of stock not worth jack sh*t
ROFL! Sorry Bill, but that was funny :DQuote:

I don't think that these guys,some of the best overclockers and people from swiftech, would like to say such things/or they made mistakes on the setup!:slap:Quote:
