Swiftech Storm vs. Apogee and Intel Quad-Core Cooling - Definative Results

You're blind. Download the spreadsheets and instruction. I have already provided EVERYTHING.

Yep, thanks I see it in the excel sheets. Very nice and detailed FCG, gotta give you props on this one

I have a few ideas for making the next round of testing even more accurate...but I'm always open for suggestions in the name of science.

Anyone know where I can find a MCW6002 ? I so badly want to buy one so that I can see for myself. You guys insist a 6002 is better than an Apogee, and I want to find out.

New Type Computer Workshop. They're based in Canada, but they do ship to the US. Also, they charge a high price for their 6002's, but you'll be hard-pressed to find one any other way. Trust me, eBay will not work. I have only seen one on eBay in several months.
EDIT: The pricing is in Canadian dollars so you won't be paying quite as much, but its still a lot.

Thanks very much, Mr. Peanut. Have one on its way. CAD 67 is not much at all.

That site only had flat base versions, if you check swiftech you will see there are stepped-base and flat-base versions. To mount on LGA-775 you need to get a stepped-base mcw-6002. Im sure you could probably take a dremel to one side or something, but i dont think it will mount stock, just a heads up.

Actually that socket-A 6002 on hardforums should be stepped i believe. These are all but impossible to find anymore so that might be your best bet, or just wait on the fuzion, the fuzion looks like its going to be nice.

Oops Its on its way and its too late... I'm away on vacation as well, so the shop can't even call me lol I'll do something about it or give it away. I ordered a Dtek as well Just to make things clear, I have use for these blocks in any event because of the freaking number of PCs in my family.

Edit: I checked my online store receipt. It says "for Socket 775" so I gather it should work. Or else I have legitimate reason to return.

Excellent work here.

How about measure the flow rate etc.

Which pump did you used in this test? Your Dual D5?

If the test system use one Laing D5, I think the Storm loop only have 1/2 flow rate as Apogee.

I would say this test tells me which block will be better in given situations (pump, rad, etc). The Swiftech challenge is same thing.

Just my 2 cents.
