I'm in a similar situation but I've already decided to go back to air. I want silence and I don't overclock, and I found that my DDC even with a top and dampening etc, made a sound that it's...

PPC is awesome, they have lots of variety IN STOCK, they always are prompt in getting the latest gear, and their service is great. I never had a problem with shipping charges or anything else. In...

Wow this is awesome. Another point for Koolance. Does anyone know if the unit can run on its own, without a USB connection to the OS?

IMO, Koolance is definitely more SEXAY for the industrial metallic look and thinness.

1++ I'd like to use these extreme ones but with 10mm fittings.. please! :up:

Love this, this is the right evolution for W/C: usability and ease of use FTW :clap: Thanks for sharing NaeKuh ;)

WOW Nice work, you make it look so simple, but I'm sure it took you quite a bit of work, at least the planning, design etc. Very nice :clap: :clap:

:up: :)

Well there has been testing already in a more "real-world" context, that suggests a temp diff in favour of the 350. I'm referring to Hondacity's and NaeKuh's tests. Those tests showed an edge of 1-2C...

Hehe good points. I think the reason they used non-realistic flows is that it's the only way to record significant thermal differences between the two blocks. I'm betting that at real-world flows the...

You know that's a good point... the main reason of doing paint polishing is not performance, but aesthetics. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Like I said before, a good balance...

Going back to your question... let me dare to say that the bottom line is that there is no significant performance loss, if any at all... at least for most of us. I think we keep forgetting that most...

And I would also say that it's not just aesthetics but things like ease of use, compression-fittings friendliness, price, how universal it is, pressure drops... So I think we've reached a point, at...

You may have a good point but likewise, I would not like this forum to go performance-nuts for the sake of 0.1 C. I think balance is good, aim for aesthetics if you want without neglecting...

I agree. If the reason for going hybrid is to be economical, why is the product so expensive? At that price-point I'd rather get a real full cover block to cool the entire card.

Hmmmm.. that's extremely thin, possibly the thinnest base of any waterblock.

I love performance-pcs. I love the fact that they always carry the latest products, and that they got loads of variety and almost always in stock.

It was about time for a I-love-PPCS thread ;)

WOOOOOWW, it's openable! Most if not all Koolance blocks have been typically sealed. They've listened again :up:

At this point the only thing I may not like is the pressure drop, but everything...

Whoa! It's nice seeing someone from Koolance interacting with the community. They've come a great way, and this latest product shows that they are listening to us. Nice work, keep it up :up:

BTW,...

Holy, that looks like a spaceship :ROTF:

Hey Mick64 I'd like to see your design tested, It'd be very interesting to see how it performs. Regarding the thermaltake design, I don't think the two can...

I got a maze 4, still doing its job ;)

Eddy have you considered using polycarbonate instead of acrylic? Acrylic is just a time bomb eventually it cracks, it's just not reliable. Have you given thought to that? Polycarbonate would give the...

Now that you mention it, we should make acrylic the next aluminum, and vouch for polycarbonate.

So.. here it goes:

Acrylic = cracking bad evil

Polycarbonate = awesomeness

:up:

I really like the XSPC Edge, except for the acrylic. But I think it's the best CPU design. Great flow and best performance.

Aquacool, what if you try longer fins but more spaced out?
