Fluid XP makes waterblocks...?

[rbd89]

SWEET JESUS, $80 FOR A FUZION COPY?! Well either way, I like the way made that side window, looks pretty slick.

[ThermalTaken]

not sure if they make them or not, they look exactly like the D-TEK Fuzion to me.

Yes they are D-Tek with Fluid XP logo





Edit: I like to know what the differences are

Thank god i got mine for free

[rbd89]

Haha nice, that's a relief. And judging from the internals of both blocks, there is no difference besides the logo on top. Either way the "Vortex"/fuzion is a great block, just Fluid XP is charging a huge markup.

[MaxxxRacer]

There are no differences between the D-tek Fuzion and the Vortex XP. Fluid XP is just paying D-Tek for liscence their product under the Fluid XP name.

OMFG! Thats ridiculous...

[Patriote]

not really, that's the way you increase market share, OEM. XP gets a top notch block they can sell with their fluid, and D-TEK expands their market. Sort of the way it works in the IT market for just about everything. The 80 bucks is out of line, but the OEM part is solid business. I bet they'll sell quite a few really. I mean think about it, if someone will by a jug of coolant for 40 bucks.......


by the way, great build Thermal, very nice.

andyc

Your probably right. Ppls will probably buy the block... Thats why it's so ridiculous... Anyways, i guess your right. Its a perfect way to increase market share.

Anyways, sorry to spam the thread And yeah Great Build there Thermal!

[ThermalTaken]

Thanks fella's, it really means alot!

Ill probly be one of the very few guy's running TEC in an SFF.

Bit of a backround as to why im building quite a few rigs at once....


A very good friend of mine who owns a PC mod shop in my area called S&CA Modz. He's also an avid Volkswagen enthusiast. I on the other hand own a Vw & Audi performance shop. He comissioned me to build him a track car this past summer. Rather then paying me for my work, we bartered in the form of PC parts. Now the amount his bill came up to i can build 10 highend rigs. He basicly gave me a key to his warehouse with free rein.
