Which CPU Block?

[Webster]

I am just about to start a rebuild and I think it's about time to upgrade my CPU block. I have a bowed Fuzion 1 atm. This block already has a new home waiting for it in a different PC (D-Tek fans don't get upset!), so basically I want to know what I should get next, which I think will either be an EK Supreme or Fuzion 2.

The loop will consist of a DDC w/ Petra's Top, a PA120.2, the CPU block, and an EK NB-5 cooling an E8500.

Opinions? It seems like the Supreme would give better temps, but it is also much more restrictive than the Fuzion 2.

Queue R3 EK FTW post in 3... 2...



Edit: to be a bit more on topic here, from what I've been told with a single DDC3.2 you'll probably get better results from the FuZion 2 than the EK, but if you get a pump with a bit more power (or a second DDC3.2 in series) the EK will give you better results. Of course, I haven't tested this myself, this is mostly just what I've read in other posts on here, and it's somewhat up for debate.

Don't quote me ( god knows I'm probably wrong ) but a multi block loop the Fusion V2 would be the best. In a single block loop the EK supreme rules.

If you're not going to add anything else to that loop then flow is pretty irrelevant (the NB doesn't care much and will still be cool enough) and the Supreme will be the best. Ina CPU only loop (which yours pretty much is) all that matters is performance.

Fuzion2.

By the way, how did you bow your Fuzion?

[Webster]

I'm still undecided, I doubt it will make that big of a difference as they are both great blocks.

@BlueAqua, there was a small washer included in the D-Tek nozzle kit which I think gives it a slight bow. That's what I was refering to.

MCW6002 > EK Supreme.

I have three blocks in my Fuzion V2 loop and like the results (DDC3.2 w/ alphacool top).

[Webster]

On second thought I think I'll just stick with my Fuzion V1 for the moment. I may upgrade a little ways down the road, but I don't think the performance difference will be big when I do. Even Eddy said the difference is only around 3C. Thanks for the advice. I think I'll probably go with the Supreme when I do decide to upgrade.
