Quick heads up on what OCZ will soon launch

[Martinm210]

I was surprised, mine arrived USPS. But I was expecting UPS.

andyc

Alright, I know where to watch now...hopefully tomorrow.

[Tony]

I shipped em UK air mail, which means they will arrive USPS to you, i did this as i have had a few issues with UPS shipping the past 2 weeks. Martin...let me know the min it arrived please.

[Tony]

Any I dea what the price will be in the UK? We typically pay what the US pay in dollars circa £40?

no idea, will try and find this out.

[NaeKuh]

It has a heavy base, I took mine to -5C or so on the TEC chiller and it did real well. The top material specs are -10C maybe a little better, so don't go to cold.

Im using 2 here with convection cooling and they do real well with that also, so heat transfer is good.

awesome... exactly what i wanted to hear.

i'll definitely be picking one up.

[Martinm210]

The USPS lady was good to me today.

How about some pictures for starters...


And will it fit 3/4" compression fittings you might ask...

With room to SPARE!!


Cheers!
Martin

[SaiNRuB]

That is sick, hell yeah!

[AndrewZorn]

I like how many XS users, especially Martin, take better pictures than the ones produced by the manufacturer. It looks TOO good!

I want this block; my Fuzion V1 is good and all but I wish I knew about stepped bases being better than bowing and all. And $40... wow!

[Martinm210]

Thanks!

I love my camera toys almost more than my testing toys..

I was thinking of you guys..

[YMAA]

*want*

And I don't even use the compression fittings

[yonton228]

Hell for that price, I may just use it in my future Windows Homer Server box lol.

So my Photo skills are not good LOL

I know a manufacturer in Taiwan (not BP) who makes compression fittings, would you guys be interested if OCZ were to offer these also?
I can also get quick connects in plastic and stainless...these something you looking for?

Let me know what you want, I will judge interest and if its workable I will get it

[Shocker003]

Nice pics Martin If the test results looks good then i will surely buy one for watercooling my HTPC.

[Bojamijams]

I WANT QUICK CONNECTS!

However plastic ones look ugly (from what i've seen so far) and stainless well... its steel :s

But after seeing it used by some people and the ease at which it allows changing of blocks/hardware without having to drain the loop, I simply must have them in my next rebuild.

As for compression fittings well.. the more the merrier Especially if you can bring the price down.

[Tony]

I seem to remember them being either plastic or stainless, there may have been Nickel plated Brass also...im checking.

[skinnee]

Tony, we're always interested in new bits.

I'm not a fan of compressions, so I withhold opinion there.

As for the quick disconnects, got any shots, are they flow restrictive at all?

[Bojamijams]

F-Yes! Nickel plated QDC would be awesome.

[AndrewZorn]

What about these? http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...product_id=708
and yes, it's from the devil

EDIT but from the Koolance thread

Just looked at my Koolance QDC fittings, the threads are brass but looking inside I noticed a spring. Its not rusting or anything its most likely stainless steel. Most QDC type fittings most likely have a stainless steel spring in them, wonder what kind of galvanic reaction with copper that would have.

looks like they aren't that good
in general

If you can make them at least as good as Koolance, made out of nickle plated something and be priced competitive with Koolance compression then I woud definitely be interested. The Koolance go for $9 a pair, but are a gray color and I would like the silver look. Also, having some 90 degree swivels would be great too.

Also, a NB and SB block to match the CPU block would be great. Some acrylic tops in the mix also for the "BLING" factor. Oh, don't forget the GPU blocks, FC and GPU only. We need as many choices as possibly and if the quality is as good as your ram then we will have another quality vendor for w/cing.

R3 would like NICKEL-PLATED BRASS QD's, PLEASE......

check the bolds

[Tony]

Quick connects will always have some restriction...you have to except a little rough with the smoooth LOL

[zlojack]

That's a pretty block!

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

check the bolds

sounds great Tony! Matching waterblock sets for all!!!

[Bojamijams]

I'm fine with the restriction... if you could however off those nickel plated brass ones instead of plastic/SS then you have ALL my QDC money

Can't have the sweet without the sour...I hear ya.

Some restriction is expected of course, the less the better!
