I have the this case which comes with the cooling radiator and the koolance 300 cpu block. http://www.koolance.com/shop/product...roducts_id=304Originally Posted by virtualrain
The pump is made by liang which Koolance integrates into their system. The radiator is integrated into the case and is cooled by 3 120mm fans. I think if I would have lapped the cpu in the beginning it would have been better but either way I am happy with the Fuzion performance.

Here is my idling temps after playing 3 hours of COD2 online. Simply amazing before I did this Fuzion install it used to idle at 54C in NV monitor and 59C-61C in TAT, after several hours of gaming. My 8800GTX SLI with dangerden blocks never go past 52C under load and idle at 47-48C.

Any thoughts about putting a back plate on the board to help with the flexing? Would that possibly cause temps to rise? By the way, what coolant are you using to get that blue color?

Absolutely it would help keep the board from flexing. I'm really shocked that Intel doesn't provide a backing plate with the HSF system. I'm used to AMD which includes a metal backing plate. Can you get backing plates for the intel mounting system somewhere?
I would like to know this also. I think with cpu water blocks going convex on their bases now, a back plate should be a simple mod to keep the motherboard from bowing. The water block companies should make one when they sell these blocks. Im thinking of modifying a Zalman back plate and seeing how I can make it work, if the screw sizes are standard maybe I could thread a post through the zalman screw holes.

The blue water color is a proprietory coolant mix from Koolance. It voids your warranty for the case if you use any other type of fluid. Since Koolance uses aluminum radiators this coolant stops Galvanic corrosion. You can buy it on their website 15 dollars. www.koolance.com. The fluid is very clear and blue.

Crap Koolance just released their new CPU cooler with a back plate! Darn it.

I have a 775 backplate from my Zalman 9500........I think I will use this to stop the bow effect.
That would be the easiset choice for modding the Apogee GT and Dtek.
Let me know if the standoff posts fit into the zalman back plates if you get a chance. Im going to order the Koolance 330 cpu block and try it out with the back plate. Ill post results when I get them.
If Dtek or Switftech was smart they would make a back plate and include it into their cpu blocks this would give one company an edge over the other since both blocks seem to be performing neck and neck.
