New Danger Den CPU Block

Not sure if anyone else saw this:

I would like to see the internals, but it looks like a complete new design compared to the older MDX series.

Found these pics on this russian site: http://www.overclockers.ru/hardnews/...rov_Intel.html
Reminds me of the xspc edge a little bit.

**lowfat** · 12-29-2011, 08:13 PM

I like it a lot. Hopefully it is a top performer.

If you want to see all the official pictures we have them here: http://photos.dangerden.com/CPUBlock...156111_MpTkv7m

Includes the pressure drop tests by Martin...and he's doing the thermals now. We also have a handful out in the wild for the lucky ones that requested them in our facebook page. So they'll have some postings going up on their temps and thoughts.

the samples are ending up on E-bay . . .when a person receives ES samples they are not supposed to go sell them on E-bay they are supposed to test them and provide feedback. That would be like people selling engineering sample Intel processors on E-bay.

Lol, in today's economy I can see people breaking NDA and selling the product.

people will always find an excuse for weakness in character

**crash5s** · 12-30-2011, 10:43 AM

an empty stomach and rent you can't pay will do that to you. strong character is only good up until you can't eat or put a roof over your head, after that you're just suicidal.

I have been poor but never resorted to theft or lowering my standards by doing shady things. accepting an ES product with the intention of selling it is pretty much theft.

**dangerden_JERM** · 12-30-2011, 11:37 AM

I'll talk to the guy...It was a facebook contest. I didn't have anyone sign an NDA or other documents. It was more of an honor system. It happens...but not worth taking everyone's time discussing.

Looking forward to Martin's testing and an update from at least four others ;-)

Nice! About damn time Danger Den

Indeed. Hopefully it can compete with the Raystorm.

**~~zeropluszero~~** · 12-30-2011, 07:21 PM

this photo does my head in, are the fins recessed or extended?

Copie · 12-30-2011, 07:41 PM

Looks to me they have been milled out of a solid piece of copper down to how it is currently.

That looks a lot like one of the Corsair Hydro cooler fin structures. Nearly identical actually. Too bad I can't find the pics of the one someone disassembled.

**Vapor** · 12-30-2011, 08:32 PM

If it's like the early Corsairs, it's skived.

**spitter3** · 12-30-2011, 08:57 PM

h50

**BeepBeep2** · 12-30-2011, 09:08 PM

Was gonna say, looks just like Asetek's baseplate for the H50/H70...

Yeah, that's what it is. Does look identical though. :p

It already competes with it pressure drop wise (no wonder, as DD blocks in general often are less resistive then average blocks from competition). Question stays about thermals, if it will manage to keep up cooling performance on par with HF/Raystorm with that little pressure drop.

I'm with DB on this one. I say we nail the perp to a concrete wall in crucifixion manner, I volunteer my Ramset nail gun (and a couple yellows) and some 3" nails.

I didn't get a response back from the person I think it is...so I guess that confirms it. That's too bad.

What motherboard is in that picture?

Intel DX79SI, their new X79 board.

**Knight** · 12-31-2011, 02:53 PM

It is actually the DX79TO.

I can tell by a few of the pixels and the heat sink design.
