nice to see a new block from swiftechgood step moving away from the alu, would love to see the results and the insides
I am now extremely eager to see the insides. Patience... Patience..

God, i wish i hadnt bought my <insert newest block here>
These kinds of posts always crack me up. They get even better in cases like this where not a single number of the blocks performance as been released yet, like that mythical .5°C is going to help your OC by 1MHZ.

If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig
Bribery won't work on me...just say NO to AT!!!
That block looks real sexy. Love the hard mount like on the Fuzion v2.

Wow.That block just dropped it likes it's hot! Let's just hope the performance delivers and has low restriction.

Honestly I don't think it'll be about performance with this block. I'm betting that it'll perform similar to the supreme and fuzion, so I think the appeal will come from something other than performance. Maybe it'll be ease of use, price, brand.
Some people unhappy with the fact that they can't use 1/2" compression fittings on their fuzion may want to switch to this block.
Competition among CPU water-blocks is huge, so every detail counts.
It was tough but I kept my mouth shut about this one.
Heard about it a few days ago.. A little "birdie" told me..
Now a question for you Gabe, looking at this, will it work on socket 771 like the Apogee GT's? I just see the one mount pattern or are my eyes not working properly?

... Gabe did say it was going to be like nothing ever before.. So i'm going to say that its going to be an internal change.True

On some setups, Swiftech blocks have a great advantage: low pressure drop compared to the Fuzion and most WB. On a single loop it doesn't matter, but on 3/8 ID and a multi blocks loop, getting this WB instead of others could be a good choice depending on your setup.
But, I also agree, that if you already have a good WB, no need to change now, especially if you know you're one of those Xtreme that'll get a Nehalem as soon as it is out.
Personally, I'm keeping my old Apogee GT in my current big 4 radiators project. I don't see any reason to change it. 3-5°C enhancement won't increase my current OC at all.

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?
How a block performs is paramount, the most important thing say with in a range of +/- 3 degrees
but since most blocks perform very close to the same in the upper class, which are the ones we're talking about, then YES it does come down to looks......
I don't like the black derlin blocks, they look industrial. when i think of sexy i think of blocks like the apogee with the copper top or even better the enzotech sapphire below...
or the new Koolance stuff...
I am also a big fan of clear acrylic, because i like UV liquids.
XSPC-EdgeAcrylic
EK_Supreme
So that is the kind of stuff think i think is sexy
to each his own, but I do like the new mounting hardware on the swiftech block, looks much more solid!
PS, most of the stuff i use is swiftech, the MCW355, the radiators, I use a great Storm Rev2 and also a Apogee GT and GTX, the radbox, the resi's, plus I'm sure i am missing simething...
my main comment was i didn't like the look (except the mounts) I am tired of black Derlin blocks...that is just me...
but I am sure any new products from Swiftech are going to be great additions to the watercooling community...
Regards
Steve

Having seen an Edge in person now I no longer think it's cool. The acrylic on my mate's one wasn't perfect meaning that light was significantly distorted and everything appeared blurry. Looks like Swiffy, Enzotech and D-Tek for me.
I like the look of the block *because* it's industrial-looking and not flashy. All the examples you listed above that were shiny metal or see-through acrylic are just noise...added flare that may not add anything to a modded rig. The GTZ is stealthy...it's like it appears out of nowhere to keep the CPU cool.

Hai, I like it. Only D-Tek have that industrial look and it's nice to have other options.
I'm eager to find out why it's different. Parallel channels for the quad cores?
If you guys stare into the pic of the Apogee GTZ you can see "GTZ" engraved into it.
I've also heard that if you state at a girl's boobs long enough, you can see the inside of a jail cell.

Either that or have a suddenly deeply redened face with finger prints in it..
Or be suddenly be singing alto when you used to sing baritone..

Wasn't too bad for me, I went from bass to baritone. Pleasant change, to be honest.

The outside looks nice, time will tell about performance.

lost some of their luster and it's more of a "wait and see" on thier stuff.

As long as it isn't cross drilled parallel channels with dimpled bottoms and an ultra thin base, I'll be happy... I'm working on something along those lines atm.
I really do like the looks of this block better than both the Apogee GT and GTX. I may have to buy one to match my MCW60 (isn't that sad that I'm a parts manufacturer yet am too lazy to machine a single block for my own system?)

I mean that upgrading the base to the same as the GTX and fixing the barb spacing would be a huge plus. Also making it a bit taller so that it clears ramsinks would be lovely as well.

dude, all i meant was that it looks better than my (coming) fuzion, i dont know about the performancd, i couldnt care less if it would had performed slightly worse or slightly better, i just like the looks of it better than of the fuzion
