Apogee GTZ

[philbrown23]

wow looks like I may have just found a replacement for my dtek V2 unless EK can come up with something new and cool.

[FallenCow]

Definitely like the looks of it, but if it's as different from the Apogee as you say it is, you should come up with a better name...

[NaeKuh]

Prediction:

Stepped base.
And Glass beaded Pin config, or zigzag matrix of some sort.

add on some Dark matter we got a winner!!!

but seriously I can't wait and I hope it's not just an update or slight change but to keep my geeky side interested some totally new design idea lol.

[Martinm210]

Nice!
Really glad to see some new blocks and very curious to see what the inside looks like..

[ThrustSSC]

Looks good! Seem like Swiftech got a wake up call

[aiya]

perfect timing! i'm planning on going back to water

whats the estimated price on this block? $65 like the FuzionV2?

[eXa]

Please be an updated MCW60! Please be an updated MCW60!

?

what do u mean?

[twwen2]

In addition to the GTZ, he is hoping that Siwftech also releases an updated MCW60.

[MomijiTMO]

COOL.

I wonder what the new design will be?

[eXa]

Lol, maybe its pins like the 6000 series, just more of them.
Just like 5000series->apooge, 6000series-> apogee GTZ

[migueld]

Finally thumbscrews!! I can't remember how many times I've dropped those little nuts/spacers

Ease of use FTW

[MomijiTMO]

In addition to the GTZ, he is hoping that Siwftech also releases an updated MCW60.

Does it really need to be updated? I mean it still performs well even if it isn't attractive looking.

[eXa]

mcw 60 still uses the vanilla apogee base, just step the apogee GT base and u have an upgrade

[Cptn Vortex]

That looks Awesome. I am also very glad to see the Thumbscrews. Those screws/spacers/plastic washers made me swear WAY too much..... I'm lovin the new look!!

[jonny_ftm]

Great to see Swiftech still in the game. I love their products quality.
However, Nehalem is coming in some 3 months. I don't see why someone already having any of the Apogee GT/GTX/Fusion or other new blocks should upgrade. Unless you have money to spend for just 1-2°C gain.

That can be said of course to all other new blocks getting out these times, not only Swiftech

When Nehalem is out, suerely there will be base plates out to get a compatible mount on new socket for current WB. But, there will be also many new blocks with a larger surface to cover the larger heatsink of Nehalem chips giving better performance.

Anyway, I know you're Xtreme, but my post is an advice for people having already a block and knowing the value of the money they earn

Still impatient to see this block performing. The mounting mechanism looks much friendly also, especially for a tight heavily loaded case

[oerekum]

Looks promising! New things are always good.

[xTKxhom3r]

dang good thing you posted this i was about to buy a dtek!

[septim]

no eta yet... no test down yet... for those not really in a hurry this is good...

[Arni]

Mcw 30 should be updated

[MomijiTMO]

Yeah can we have some fins or pins on the base please

[71 (Bryan)]

God, i wish i hadnt bought my fuzion v2 =S

[BlueAqua]

Looks interesting. I think we all have a little love for Swiftech from the days when watercooling really started to catch on. It's good to see some excitement in their product line.

[IanY]

i think it's bogus looking....

not my style

Are you serious? You look at a block.. it doesn't look sexy in your eyes... who cares about whether it performs or not, right?

All a water block is for is to look good inside a case, right?

We have no performance figures. We have no idea what's inside the block. Yet, you've already come to the conclusion that you don't like how it looks on the outside, and therefore you will never buy it?

[LogAn'sRun]

bah, that's his opinion just like yours is yours. he doesn't like it, point taken. 1 consumer doesn't mean the end of a company.

besides, if this continues we'll be back to the whole aesthetics vs performance issue that feels like the dead horse needs a couple more rounds with a well worn out stick.

It's a friday, let's raise a glass instead and not argue for once. . . skåååål!!
