Dtek Fusion or Apogee GT what would you chose?

Here is a pic of my PC with the FuZion installed if you all wanted to see.

FuZion.

did you notice any change in temps when you switched to the d5?
Im thinking the fuzion may work better with a high flow pump over a high pressure one. *goes off looking for a rd30 *

I will agree with IanY that in my system with a highly oc'd E6300 (3.7ghz) the Apogee GT beats the Fuzion by about 2c idle and 3c loaded. That's delta T loaded with TAT to the ambient air temp. It also had the same results during the Wednesday testing at CES with a Kentsfield. YMMV.

Yet I have a Fuzion on my CPU. Why? It has insane flow!! I have frankensteined a set of MCW 60 GPU block tops and mated them with the Apogee GT base. Now my 8800GTX's idle at 35c and all night runs of 3D Mark 06 only heat them to 40c. Kinda like the best of both worlds.

Everyone's system is different. If I only had a CPU loop, I'd go with the Apogee GT with the fat o-ring. I have a multi block loop, so I prefer the Fuzion because it preserves flow.

Philly, would you recommend an Apogee GT for a CPU and NB loop only?

I'm not cooling my videocard and I have a GT on hand.

Yes, the Apogee GT is a great block for a loop like that.

[IanY]

Yes. I never mentioned this before, and I guess its a mistake on my part

My cpu is the only block in the loop and its cooled by a massive PA120.3 and I also have insane pumping capacity just for the cpu. Obviously, nobody sane would set it up this way. So, if my loop were more complicated, the Apogee GT would very well lose out to the FuZion lol

I'm starting to pump up the Vcore and The cpu is going places where few quad cores have gone before on regular water. Its very limited only by what the mobo can do. I wish they improved the darn 680 chipset.

Thanks, Philly.
