Xtremesystems will be hosting a party at CES on Januray 9th at 8:00 PM. During this party Swiftech has a challenge for any of you watercooling gurus that will be attending CES.
Swiftech will be launching a new waterblock on Janurary 15th. For those of you attending CES you can get a sneak peek at this new blocks performance. Swiftech is so confident that this block is the best waterblock ever made that they are inviting everybody and anybody to drop by the XS party for a waterblock challenge.
A simple test really, we will have a QX6700 (Quad Core) overclocked at high voltage. We will have a basic water-loop made up from the Swiftech H20-220 watercooling kit (1/2” ID tubing).

We will then load up all 4 cores 100% each and take the temperature readings for both the ambient and the cores.
Now the challenge begins, anyone can bring any waterblock which they think is the best and we will hook it up to the same water-loop (same configuration). We will then take the temperatures of the challenger.
The person that can beat the new Swiftech Block, or should I say “If by some miracle somebody beats the Swiftech Block” they will take home a new Swiftech P180 Quiet Power. http://swiftech.com/products/Qpower-P180.asp
A few simple rules: No TEC blocks, your block must be ½” ID tubing capable for easy install on the loop, only one prize will be given out (it will go to the person with the best temps).
Other then that, it’s all good. All brands of waterblocks are welcome, homemade blocks included. All independent users and waterblock manufacturer representatives are welcome to take their best shot.
Even if you do not want to participate, drop by the XS party anyway for FREE food and drinks.
Free rides to and from your Hotel provide by XS.
