Apogee GTX

[nealh]

Never mind. I have no interest in a showdown. Its a waste of time. Sorry that I annoy you.

I think Nikhsub1...is trying a novel approach...

I do not believe he is try to mislead or decieve anyone..I actually think it is a great idea....

if the results are good Gabe(aka swiftech may even consider selling a hybrid product..since he did say he would be open to things/ideas if it will help him sell a few 100 more blocks)

I am sure he will post results for the 5mounts with the GT and GTX blocks..and a hybrid product to see how that works

EDIT: oops maybe I am the one being really stupid..I may have misread things..so you cant place a GT top on the GTX base?...

[Plywood99]

Yeah Nik's earlier post kinda sounded like he tested the gtx with the gt top...


Ply

Edit:: nevermind, already cleared up...

[nikhsub1]

Guys FYI!!!! The ONLY difference between GT and GTX is top and mount plate. Base is the SAME.

Few, at least someone understands me...

dude when are you going to post some results? u always say u have no interest in showdowns this and that, but yet u comment on everything. Post some of your results, good or bad.

[virtualrain]

Since your'e on the NB topic.. and I know it's off thread, but..

How many would like MCW30 special 4-point mount brackets made for the EVGA i680?

Uh... yeah! Count me in!

He doesn't like to do that...
We might get scared by seeing his monster rig anyways

[nikhsub1]

Well my hunch has been disproven It is the top and the top alone... shorter deck height and diagonal flow.

This will have nikhsub1 reaching for the Prozac

Please, gabe make it and we will buy en mass....

As for naked core cpu's.....i'm sure Swiftech could make the Apogee GT/GTX, with a stepped base like the MCW60's have, for the 'bare all' people , as well as offer it as the MCW60 GT

LOLOL...up until 1 week ago i had 2 hybrid blocks like in my sig...MCW60GT's with the GT base. Exactly 1c better performance than a MCW60 in every situation i threw at them. And they are flat for all those guys that wanna try their hands at home made TEC blocks....

Gabe really enjoyed this comment. I have been a supporter of your plating process from the get go. Even to where the "trusty mod" here gave me an infraction for blasting the ignorant, who are ignorant and know nothing but hearsay about this process. Not one of them has provided proof of failure of you plating process.
But alas, the average consumer isn't too smart or simply doesn't want to do a little research these days. Spoon fed is the way it is...
Ply

Hey...I resemble that "trusty mod"....please know I didn't single you out....I am just doin my job...

Btw, my own testing has revealed a bit better performance with my fairly highly overclaocked E6300. At 3.5ghz and 1.6 vcore the GTX has about 2c better Delta T (from the ambient air temps) than the GT. This is like 4c better than the Fuzion which I also own....and ...well...a lot better than my trusty Storm. I cannot wait til April 22nd so I can order my greatly-reduced-price quad core and really heat things up! I'll be finishing this part of the CPU review and publishing it soon as someone can loan me an MP-05 to see if it can hang with the home boys at Swiftech. Alex - *cough* sells them *cough* can he *cough* loan me one?

That website is funny, I see all these ghetto waterblocks and ghetto DIY stuff LMAO.

[ranker]

Uh... yeah! Count me in!

Count me in three. Also, I'd like to request a special mounting mechanism for the Evga SB as well. Right now most of us have to jerry rig it with either zip ties or by dremeling the screw in half and hard mounting it without springs.

You missed the eariler post. I kept hounding him on that, and he got a insight. Read up.

actually here:

The problem with SPP is simple: 2 mounting points, and crowded area. Primary issue is rocking of the w/b due to lateral pressure exerted by the tubes. But reflecting on the problem gave me a solution I should have seen along time ago. So now I have to go work on it. Something's cooking!

Thanks !

Hi Bito...loooong time no talk. Glad to see your'e still live and quickin' :-)

For you, we have to make a commerorative "Bito" edition for being one of our oldest customers.. It's been what 5 years?

How's the old country doing ?

Cheers

Hi Gabe

'Live; kickin' and still running Swiftech gear, since the original P2/P3 days
Still have the original Quiet Power, on a friends rig, although with updated blocks.
I look forward to the 'Bito' edition
The country's doing fine and glad to say we have a few UK distributers now, not like the 'early days.'

Need a North Bridge Block for the Bad Axe II. EVGA Mobo's... why you need 600 MHZ FSB for?? lol.

Gabe,

Any plans to release a G80/G81 version MCW-Ramcool ? May I suggest a 3/8" fitting (instead of 1/4" fitting) this time around ?

As already intimated, can we expect a MCW60GT soon ?

I mounted my MCW30 to the NB on my board and I have to say a 4 point mount would allow for a secure and balanced mate with the NB chip. It seems, though I have tightened the screws almost to the point the wont move it doesn't seem secure to me.

Do the GT and GTX's absolutely have to have the thicker o-ring/bowed base ?? How do they perform out of the box ?

GTX coming tommorow

For best performance they must be bowed. With a flat base they are (at a guess, flat versions going in test bed this week) 2-3C worse.

[Hard H20]

gabe,

I'm with the rest of the guys on the MCW30 4-point mounting would be nice. I'd also like to see a MCW30 special mount for the SB of the eVGA 680i. I will pickup 2 sets of each if you get this produced for the 680i boards I have.

[phelan1777]

That website is funny, I see all these ghetto waterblocks and ghetto DIY stuff LMAO.

but are you designing blocks? Are you working on something different then what is out already.

Those guys are trying for something different.

There is a lot of pride in having something that you DIY.

So think twice before you heckle, because that "rough/ugly, and or "aluminum" block could be the next block you want for your system, and who ever came up with it, will be making money, and some of that money, would come from your pocket.

What we talk about here is not the end all be all of PC/watercooling/OCing just more here take things to the next level and beyond.

WE are all in the same game, just different teams.

^^^ One of the best statements in the whole thread!

[IanY]

Gabe,

I don't know if its commercially viable, but here is the list of blocks I would buy if available:

G80/G81 MCW-Ramcool, preferrably with 3/8" barbs
Mosfet blocks, akin to the Alphacool HeatTraps, simple blocks, with G1/4" fittings
A thin profile SB block that allows the use of all three PCI-E slots

I understand that the market forces show a massive popularity with the EVGA motherboard. I myself am partial to the Asus Striker Extreme. Therefore, perhaps some "kit" set offerrings would be good.

[NaeKuh]

well comparing the two blocks right now. My d-tek fusion runs a TAD bit higher then the GTX in a BOW.

In Real Life Data with my loop, which is running a heck of a lot of components. On dual DDC-2

I am geting about 4-5C higher in load, which is iany's original estimates....

And i idle about 2-3C higher.

I hope this helps



Also gabe, any chance you can update the MCW-6500T with a 437W tec? i hear 226W is getting phased out. And i dont want to buy a MCW-6500T and throw out that 226W tec. :\

Bah... thank god people on this forum know how to do stuff properly, i think if it wasnt for serial, id still be planning to put a 226W on a Q6600. :P
