Anyone seen the D-Tek Fuzion yet??

[phelan1777]

Hmmmmmm. . .wonder if I can trust my precious FX-60 to Phelan to remove the IHS. . .testing a naked FX would be tasty. . .

<<<<<palms start to itch................
Precious, here my precious............MUAHAHAHAHA
If its soldered that might not be a good idea.
If its not soldered then it would pop easier then (Use your imagination)

The storm should dominate that test, no doubt.

Well we would have to do it just to make sure.

AFAIK the AM2 chips were the only ones that were soldered. Haven't heard of a soldered 939 chip yet.

[Graystar]

A month ago I bought an Athlon 64 3500+ AM2 and it was pasted.

[Fr3ak]

From the pictures I have seen S754,939 and AM2 are pasted. Socket F Opterons are soldered, so I assume all LGA chips are soldered

Well I forget who exactly it was but he had a FX-62 and found out the hard way that the IHS was soldered on. This was when the chip was almost $1k as well.

I remember a thread about that.

Bread and butter my friend...

it doesnt matter when the chip was bought, or which socket.

what matters is the WEEK.

You are contradicting yourself on one point over there . If the week matters, then so does it matter when the chip was bought, as they are kinda dependent on eachother..

Not really. You could buy a new CPU now that the week was a few months ago. True if you bought a CPU before they started to solder the IHS on then you won't have to worry about it, but at this point whether you bought a CPU a month ago or a month from now, you could still get an earlier week CPU that isn't soldered, or you could get a more recent week that is.

yeah, thats an early chip. i think they started soldering around 0620.

Where do you find the date of production? All i see on my box is the date that it was packed 12/9/06 is this a soldered heatsink Quad core?

Also what happened to all the people testing the Fuzion Vs Apogee GT? all the tests so far have not yielded a consistent finding, I thought there were two more people that were going to show some data.

Ill get my Fuzion in two days and will post but I dont have anything to compare it with since I currently have a crappy Koolance 305 water block that cant handle the quad core.

[SlicerSV]

you're running a koolance system and are about to put a high-flow copper block in it? are you insane?

[Chas_The_Man]

What if he puts about three bottles of water wetter in there and adds a magnesium anode? or has the Fuzion gold plated? :-)

I have a Koolance PC4 1026 case is that pump to weak to handle the Fuzion block? I only have two danger den blocks 8800gtx blocks on there with the cpu block. They are in series is that bad?

Please clarify your statement. Is this a bad water cooling system or good?

[redcorn]

I can confirm as others did that the Dtek Fuzion has a slight convex shape at the base. This could explain why the block did so well the first night of the Swiftech challange and beat a flat based Apogee GT.

I just got it in and left the plastic cover on the base and put it on a glass table and the Fuzion block could be spun around pretty easy on its center base.

I will install it and see how it does, I wont do a detailed report but what I see. I have a swiftech apogee GT on order to and should be here in couple of days so I can compare.

Fuzion seems well made the instructions are very basic.

Gimme gimme let me de shimmy it :-P.

[Philly_Boy]

I am back from Vegas. . .maybe we can meet to "deshimmy" and do some benching? Remember, my rig got hosed by FedEx shipping it back from Vegas a month ago. I need toime to figure out what's wrong and begin to set things right. Call or im me if you wanna set something up.

Koolance systems perform rather poorly to begin with, use 1/4in tubing, they are also all aluminum, Al + Cu == bad

1/4in tubing being increased in size to fit a 1/2in fitting == bad

What if he puts about three bottles of water wetter in there and adds a magnesium anode? or has the Fuzion gold plated? :-)

number 1, it'll still harm the blocks, number 2, gold plating is a BAD thing, it'll make it so you may as well not be using the block. number 3: does nothing for the 1/4in 1/2in problem.
