Apogee GTZ

[disruptfam]

HARD MOUNT FTW

Gabe it's fantastic to see swiftech coming out with some new stuff.I'am very excited!!

Looking forward to a updated mcw60 maybe?

[NaeKuh]

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.

you serious?

you know what, im boycotting XSPC after reading this. Now i need to go back to that skulltrail board and tell her to forget the xspc.

The block reported by martin performs so good, but lately XSPC's QoC is run by a bunch of monkeys getting high off guava juice.

Yeah . I wonder if anyone at OCAU will have issues with them as Flabbergast is getting their stock soon. My friend ordered his from the UK [along with other stuff]. I think he is mad.

I've only got the XSPC DDC top and while the machining isn't great, it's not too bad.

[Lagaaja]

Now that's sexy. It seems a little light-weight player, but I personally hope we'll see a new champ here

[dnb#]

damn, the new block looks nice, the old one with a copper top is better though. I always liked swiftech's stuff. Does anyone have a clue if there will be another version with an copper top too on this GTZ? I would love to see new design!

[Martinm210]

On some setups, Swiftech blocks have a great advantage: low pressure drop compared to the Fuzion and most WB. .

Not better pressure drop than a stock fuzion, although it's getting pretty close to the newer Fuzion V2. Actually most of the center inlet types will have lower restriction because you split the flow and reduce the flow rate over the pins compared to a side to side or corner to corner flow path like the apogee series. There are many blocks with lower restriction though, DD MC-TDX, XSPC Edge Acrylic, Fuzion V1 stock, and I think the Fuzion V2 Stock.

Once you start adding nozzles to the Fuzions or have a block with nozzles like the EK Supreme, or AC DI, that's when restriction really becomes high.

Anyhow flow rate and restriction are not that important, I'd be much more interested in thermal performance.

That we don't know, heck we don't even know what it looks like internally, so we don't know anyhthing other than it's a new product.

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
dont need to flame me, thx for tha diss man, real nice

Flame? You consider that a flame?.......meh, I'd better stop there before I get in trouble again.

Point is/was, someone always posts almost those exact words every time a new block is released shortly after another.

[71 (Bryan)]

well maybe not a flame but still bra, wasnt cool on your part

Ok, smile, shake hands and say to one another that perhaps a poor choice of words and lets get back to deciding who is going to go out, kidnap Gabe and tickle him till he posts a pick of the insides!

[SeanB]

chill foo's its water time.

Sorry, guess my amusement didn't come through in my second post. Move along, nothing to see here.

Sorry, I removed your name from the quote and tried to make it as general as possible without targeting anyone in particular. Didn't realize you were so sensitive.

btw, I'm not your bra...or bro, I'm just a PITA.

No problem, just trying to fulfill my chosen role in life as peacemaker.

When this Block will be available on retailer.

[Movieman]

When this Block will be available on retailer.

My guess is 2-3 weeks..

[Mankz_91]

No offence intended to Gabe, but I think it looks naff and horrible. I don't like all of the black screws etc. and I especially don't like the black top. I think it would look alot better if the black top was silver coloured, and you kept the black background to the logo.

[iandh]

Is that a hint..?

Posssibly.

Probably?

[Giannis86]

im liking the looks of it but indeed the black top doesnt match nicely..there is too much black in the equation..id love to see a copper top for it..that would look amazing

[nikhsub1]

Man there are too many interested in the looks of things. I could give a rat's ass what something looks like as long as it performs (in this case, outperforms). My opinion is that the GTX was a dog (sales wise) because Swiftech was too interested in looks and used aluminum to achieve that goal. Looks are a far second place in my book.

[eXa]

Idd. I wouldnt even thouch the GTX with a 10foot pole.....

I looked are your tests, you're right, thanks for the clarification indeed

well said.

That we don't know, heck we don't even know what it looks like internally, so we don't know anyhthing other than it's a new product.

that could be fixed [Edit: arranged]

You forgot to insert the picture, I think

[Movieman]

I think I need to call Jupiler
( If you haven't seen a pic of him think of Arrrrrnold only younger and not quite as "cut")
He'll do the holding, I'll do the tickling..
We'll get the pics out of you!
