D-Tek FuZion GFX

[TheReds]

Hey guys, not sure if you have seen this yet but D-Tek is going to be releasing a graphics card block . Just go to http://www.dtekcustoms.com/index.asp and you'll see a picture of it at the bottom (in the "News & Updates") along with the following description:

"Coming Soon! The FuZion GFX a new low profile GPU block with Direct Impingement to the GPU that brings performance to a new level in GPU cooling. This block will be compatible with all current video cards including the Nvidia 8800 series. More details will be added shortly."


looking pretty good, peace guys

Ooo, looks great! A Fuzion and Fuzion GFX paired up in one loop would be pretty sweet .

Of course how much difference design makes is directly dependant on dissipated heat per unit area, so I don't think you'll see much of a difference over an MP-1 if at all (GPU cores are still huge compared to CPU cores), but nevertheless interesting

[Jupiler]

Nice to see you back, creidiki.

[creidiki]

Its good top be back, and good to see innovation in waterblocks going on

I find the fuzion especially interesting because it works around the only real issue I ever had with the still perfectly valid swifty 6k series - you can't open them up to clean them, and we all know loops tend to gunk up... not looking forward to cleaning mine when I move house back here to Italy

Then again, its no good for subzero chillers, unlike the 5/6ks.

some one tell d-tek to give us some more detailed pics, like one that shows how its impinging with a side inlet??

That's not exactly hard since the inlet barb doesn't really need to be where the nozzle is... If you use the inlet barb to fill a chamber with a hole/holes/nozzle in the bottom, the coolant still only has one way to flow--the barb doesn't have to be directly over the impingement nozzle(s). The NexXxos XP is a very simple example of this (offset inlet, die-centered impingement). Looking at that picture, that's exactly how it's being done.

yeah thats what i figured, you can kinda see the chamber and inlet in the pic....i just want to see more detail of the inside

Frag Monger, can you get a sample and test? I am looking to find the best GPU block and I now have the Fuzion and I am very happy? Do we know when this will be available? Where did you get that picture?

[Petra]

Where did you get that picture?

It's on the front of D-Tek's website....

[jerrydog]

OK thanks I see it.

Does anyone know when this will be available?

Who talks to DTEK? Can we at least get some numbers on the block and more pictures.

Any retailers on the Forum? Have you been in contact with DTEK. Is anyone planning GPU challange? or at least a GPU test?

I wish someone would produce an updated Silverprop gpu waterblock. Love the barbs integrated into the brass barbs. Never have to worry about it leaking.

DTEK please make sure there's space between the barbs for 3/4 OD tubing and hose clamps. Its impossible with the cpu waterblock.

That's not true. I got mine on with little effort. I just had to tighten one side down first and then the other clamp went on with no problem. It is tight, but can be done.

[situman]

So the first clamp will squish the tubing enough for me to install the second? Interesting.
