Out of the number of people taking a dump on this block, what is the percentage of D-Tek FuZion owners? Maybe more than 75%. Of that number, how many own both a FuZion and an Apogee GT? Maybe at most five.

What would happen if I started a thread with the specific intent of being "most critically inclined" on the fuZion? Incidently, I happen to own two of them? What if I were to open up my block and complain incessantly about every last nitpicking flipping feature that irritates/annoys me?

Do you really think that the forum in general (never mind the moderators) will stand for that? In that case, why is there this immense double standard?

Why don't we drag Jerry the D-Tek owner in here and I torture him with a million and one questions? And if he doesn't answer even one of them, then I'll spam the internet with pictures of everything that is purportedly wrong with the D-Tek, whether valid or not? After all, he would not have "defended" himself? The presumption here is guilt!! OOOooo... I'm so ready with another manufacturer...

I figured out that if I am going to be accused of being a fanboy for no reason, then I might as well start behaving like one... Maybe I'll get lucky and manage to get a watercooling job with Swiftech and ditch my boring office work lol
Yeah, I own a FuZion and I also own an ApogeeGTX as of an hour ago. Got it sat here now. I figured that if the dye wears off, then I'll replace coolant after it's all worn away. I don't say what I say about the GTX because of the fact I own a FuZion. If the GTX is better then I'll put the GTX in - a lot easier than trying to defend something that isn't the best. Heh, I guess I'm paid too much.

We're hardly torturing gabe for asking questions, after all he and the other designers at Swiftech are the ones with the answers and I have not seen on person say anything about concluding any guilt towards Swiftech for not replying straight away.

The fact still remains though that part of the block albeit a small part comes off when you run water through it and I honestly believe that shouldn't happen. I've never owned a plated product so can't say that this has happened to me before, and one can't blame me for thinking plating is more hastle than it's worth if this is going to be the result? (Yes I know the dye has nothing to do with the plating itself, but it's still a level of material applied to another)

As for finding faults with the FuZion - Well it comes boxed, it gets mounted and it works. No arguments over plating, dye being dumped into the coolant and no O-ring swap out. I think the only bad press I've seen is about the barbs being close and clamps being a pain to get on.

How ever, as I said above - if this beats the FuZion then it will be going into my new cube build.
