    Corsair Solid Copper GPU Block?

    And to think I thought they were only using Swiftech parts. Seems they are trying their hand at their own engineering.

    bad placement of the barbs IMO, would make it tough to route tubing.

    After looking at it more, I'd put money on it that it has almost the exact same internals as the MCW6000.

    i dunno about that enjoy. it looks like a piece of garbage to me. but i will hold judgement until i see some internal shots or some performance numbers on it.

    IMO that doesnt look very good. From appearance a maze 4 looks like it could beat it for much less $

    bah I know nothing of expert block designs but any means but that looks like crap...not only does it seem like it'd kill flow, but as has been said....the tube placement would be a beeotch

    i just found out y they would do that...

    cause if u have the corsair cool ... u have to mount the rad behind the case and u need that design to actually go nicely out to the back.. i had a hard time trying to figure out how to mount my maze4.. we'll just see how it goes

    well maybe there was some thought put into this thing. but as i said i will reserve final judgement till it gets tested by competent reviewer.
