Warning !!! Don't Buy Aluminium Waterblocks

[IanY]

Dont get so testing..who says the block sucks..performance wise the block is very good...no doubting that...

I asked is the paint really flaking already to that degree..seems like it would clog components...besides sure seems the paint is poorly done if this happening

but I repeat a $75 block that is flaking its paint with so little use..seems of questionable QC

Its not paint. It is dye.

As Gabe explains, the dye was intentionally applied that way to give the appearance of an Edelbrock engine cover. I do not have an interest in American muscle cars, so I must admit I have little interest or knowledge of what an Edelbrock engine cover looks like. Whatever benefit one accrues from a water block looking like an engine cover is intangible and up to one's interpretation.

For me personally, I could not care if my water block looks like canine turd. As long as its the best performing.

As Gabe has explained, the dye does nothing to clog components, not to mention blocks with impingement jets that clog are so.... sooo... last year ? Sorry, I own a lot of Storm blocks myself.. all of them in a shoe box in the closet. Neither the FuZion nor the GTX clog, and neither do the MCW60 or the FuZion GTX. Its not that the dye clogs blocks or that the dye has any effect whatsoever on anything.

For those who don't focus on the dye, then there are the outcries about the aluminum ad nauseum.

Both D-tek and Swiftech are at the top of the industry. You can choose not to buy Swiftech, but you would be foolish then not to buy D-Tek. The bottom line is that the GTX is one of the two best, if not the best, performing cpu blocks at any price.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. For the sake of everyone's sanity, PLEASE don't buy it.

I'm not testy. You have consumer choices. Either you buy it and shut up, or you don't buy it and shut up. Thank you.
