As far as brand loyalty, D-Tek is not a newcomer to the industry, but its claim to fame is a relatively new event. I guess there is little to no brand loyalty among hardware enthusiasts, I guess besides me lol

On a 50 degree base load temp, a 3 C difference is the equivalent of a 6% absolute improvement, and who know how much when comparing block relative to block. A 5 C load difference, if attainable, is the same as a bases-loaded home run as far as I'm concerned.

So far, I'm not seeing 5 C differences but I am definitely seeing 3C differences, noting that the D-Tek FuZion and the Apogee GT are basically on par with each other.
i wanna make an assumption. It might not be correct, so dont flame me for it.

But from what i noticed, is my d-tek seems to have a max performance on flow. Meaning, if i crank my pumps up more, i get hardly any beneifits in temps. But on the apogeeGTX, its more senstive to flow.

Either way, both are great blocks. I have both, i use both. Well the GTX is stilling on my desk, but i may swap out my cr.. i mean apogee... *looking at gabe break his pencil* for the GTX in some future.

But anyhow, any chances of a petlier swap on the MCW-6500T??? Im sure your also interested in this too iany. The 226W wont be enough for a quad core according to all the pro's over at the TEC forum.
