D-Tek Fuzion V2 RELEASE THREAD!

[Waterlogged]

Nice that you found out!

Actually, I used my eyes, that grey crap between my ears and a little something called common sense.

WOW nice images too, that very clear now!

Here's a image from V1

Someone see if two 1/2" bitspower compression fittings will clear each other! Please Please Please!! If they are proven to fit, I will order this block!

[Polizei]

They don't fit.

[FuriousSalesman]

Wasn't there a Bitspower ST transfer base that was going to be released so compression fittings would fit on MCW-60 and Fuzion?

Hey guys!

Well I picked my V2 block up today at petra's around 4PM.
Thanks so much Quoc and Alex!

Heres some waterblock pr0n:

FuZion V2


FuZion V1


Both together now


Well, I dunno bout you guys, but I REALLY like the new version! Can't wait to test it tomorrow!!
I'll be posting results and stuff this weekend.

[largon]

Am I correct that the V2 baseplate is exactly same as V1?

Yes sir!

BTW, one thing to note! The Fuzion V2 does not come bowed like the original Fuzion.

Who wants to bow theirs to test? :-D

I'm thinking about it, but don't know exactly how to go about doing that........

[Janno]

mine is arriving in a week or two

ordered a loooong time ago, but it was worth the wait, i kind of knew they'd release a new revision

i can say i'm kind of mantic

[I34z1k]

Well i'd bow mine which i should get this month hopefully, but i don't know where i'd be able to find What i need

[smee]

But "how" do you bow it?

[I34z1k]

Hmmmm can't you do it with an o ring?

[smee]

Hmmmm can't you do it with an o ring?

Oh yes, your right.... thats how you do it!
I'll have to try that..... I've got some o-rings here.....

Great pics , the V2 looks a lot better indeed. I cant wait to order mine. It will happen a bit later though.

[coolfris]

I like the newer smooth lines. Kind of reminds me of a headcrab on Half Life..

The solidly attached lower mounts should help with mounting consistency, I like the lower mount.

V3:



Just throw it in and it starts mounting.

[fungry]

@coolfris lololol. The V2 definitely went in that direction in terms of aesthetics xD.

Thanks for posting this. It looks the V2 is a great improvement from the V1 in reducing the leaking possibilities (the V2 only have 1 gasket to worry instead of 2 from the V1). I guess they fixed the issues from the V1 like the leaking mid-plate, using the pro mount and spacing the barbs apart a bit more to fit 3/4" OD tubing with clamps more easily.

It looks great but IMHO, I won't rush and buy one when I'm already using the V1 with the pro mount which give me great results. Maybe in a future 2nd build (I'm currently pondering if I want to watercool my future HTPC boxen in a PC-A05B, another challenge to take).

I would like to see the thermal testing results but I'm sure there is a few who is already doing this so I'll sit back, drink a good beer and wait

[disruptfam]

can anyone confirm if these fittings will work? with the v2?

[junkun13]

no difference on the spacing of the barbs?.....

[DavidNJ]

What we need are comparative thermal results with different nozzles to go with the pressure results. I am curious what the results are on different orientations. The corner over the scavenge port should have much more flow than the corner diagonal to it, and somewhat more than the other two. In the V2 versions, the cover comes more into play. I wonder which is better. Note that a typical vertical installation place that scavange port over a cooler part of the IHS.

I'm planning on starting some thermal testing today if UPS would drop my mobo off at the front door....
I won't be able to give you guys pressure results, as I don't have the kind of tools that Martin has.

I have both the stock mid-chamber plate and the quad chamber insert for the Fuzion V2 along with the nozzel kit for the V1 (which also works with the V2 AFAIK). I will be testing nozzels with each block down to the 4.5 or 5.5 nozzel (not sure which one yet).
I'll also be trying stock Fuzion V1 vs. stock Fuzion V2.
I'll be doing multiple remounts for each test to make sure the results are good.

I may attempt to bow the V2 block and test that, but I'm not sure...
All the tests will be conducted with my main system, I'll be testing Idle and Load on stock clocks and Idle and Load on OC clocks.
Heres the systems spec's:

QX6700 ES
ASUS Striker Extreme 680i
2GB Corsair Dominator 800Mhz Cas4
EVGA 8800GT 512MB
Corsair 650W Single 12v PSU
Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32MB HD

What other kind of testing are you guys interested in seeing done?
Like I said, I can't do pressure testing or flow testing, because I don't have those kind of tools I'll leave those tests up to Martin...

LOL!!!!! @coolfris, Thats funny!!!!! It totally does look like that too!!

[Martinm210]

Great!

I may be getting a sample to try out too, so I'll hopefully have a chance to do the pressure drop testing. If the V2 isn't bowed much, you can always use a slightly thicker o-ring than what comes stock, that should do the bowing fine.

I'd like to see a V1 with washer only compared to a V2, then maybe a V1 with quad nozzle vs V2 with the Quad midplate.

Don't forget some multiple mounts, when I ran my first V1 5 mount test, I was getting almost 2C differences just for different mounts...I'm getting better with mounting though as my nozzled 5 mount run maximum variance was 1C between mounts.

My feable attempt at thermal testing my V1..




Going to have to step it up and try some more nozzles and bowing as well. I just don't think the 4.5mm nozzle is the best for the D5.

One thing that I noticed though is the fuzion had more consistency between the two cores, the AC double impact tended to favor cooling one core more than the other...Not sure if that's just a fluke or not, but it did that over 5 runs.

I probably need to retest the stock fuzion again too, after the first stock run I started laying my tower on it's side for easier remounts. Plus, my TIM application is getting better with practice.
