looking good man.
The green stuff that's in everyones tubes is Water Wetter, right?
That's just Zerex Antifreeze (still bubbly), but jeez it looks like that green crap everyone has
watter wetter is...pinkish
"Monolith" - [ Xeon W3540 (4.22) - Rampage 2 Extreme - 12 GB Ripjaws 1600 - GTX 570 - 120 GB OCZ Vertex - Antec TruePower 750W - Corsair 700D - Apogee XT CPU Block - XSPC 360 Rad ]
Old Box - [ E4600 2.4 @ 3.7ghz (11x335) - P5W-DH - 4gb Gskill @ 893mhz - Radeon 3850 ]
The green stuff is probably Hydrx.

Probably what I'll use, even though I don't really care for the color.
oh, thanks

DaGoof by any chance do you have a comparison to any other blocks?

gpu blocks, Sadly - No. I'll have a tdx to play with in a few days, however.
DaGoof, where did you order your HL form? I am in the UK and was thinking either www.frozenmods.com or from the Silverpop E-Store http://www.silverprop.com/estore/Scripts/default.asp
I have seen that frozenmods is pretty reliable.

I got mine from Criticool - They're in canada. I ordered on the 12/15/04 and it just got here on the 5th... Ugh. I've also heard that frozenmods is fine, but I've heard they dont even keep an inventory, they just order from silverprop for you. So I suppose you could do either one, whichever's cheaper.
got mine yesterday. heavy sucker,finish needs lapping. mine ordered thru frozenmods came air mail from austrailia!
Where are you from? Did you get hit for any import customs?
Silverprop Fusion HL's are available in the UK (not shipped from Oz) here - http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/...roductid=18154 .
Cheers, dEl.
Did you guys from the UK have to pay import tax then?

WOW!!! I never knew that, cheers mate. Ordering now!
We do sometimes, depending on what where you order from, how big the package is etc.
For example I just ordered some RAM and a booster from Excalibur and I got hit for £45 customs charge. Whereas some people just ordered the RAM and didn't gethit for anything. Just luck I think.
£45, ouch, thats a stinger. You need to have a buddy in the US that will buy on your behalf and send it over to you as a "ahem" birthday present or something like that.A tip saaya gave me was that around xmas time there's so much post going in and out of every country that you're more likely to not get hit for customs cos peeps are just too busy to check everything.
I think Overclock has only just got the stock in of the HL's, my bro just got a couple of them, seems like they are the only ones in the UK with 'actual' stock, good on em i say. Hope you like em.
Cheers, dEl.
Lets hope they have it in stock I am going to order tomorrow, just waiting for some money to clear. I won' be using it for at least a month, but I just want it to add to my pile of stuff ready to be put together!
Cheers mate.
Looking pretty cool, just the dimm color of the coolant suxx a little - and hey, aren't the fittings on the GPU block are a little bit too small (ID is small, IMHO) so the thing is little bit too much restrictive?
I hate restrictive blocks, flow is everything in watercooling
Restrictive blocks are generally the best performing blocks. NeXXoS XP....Storm G5/G4...Silverprop Fusion HL/SL
How many PCI slots does that thing take out?
I'd say one at the absolute maximum...and you'd wanna leave one slot empty anyhow just for airflow purposes.
Yeha, it takes out one - It's a tad close to the second, but nothing too serious.
Thanks
