EnzoTech SCW-1 CPU Waterbock

[Thomas FJ]

Hi Guys,


I just came across this very nice looking new comer:

The base plate looks a bit too thick perhaps?

Enzo needs to change his name to 'copy'.

[Okda]

the internals of the base is awesome

Jedda , why ?

[AndyM]

Reminds me of a Fuzion

[Infa]

Becouse its allmost a copy of the Fuzion block, EVEN the inside of it, looks almost identical and even the fins, they are just a tad longer...

But it LOOKS better than fuzion though

[Enoc]

Jedda , why ?

outside looks a lot like d-tek, i imagine that's why jedda said that...

and the internal looks real nice, more surface area, i think this block should perform very well on quads...

[kinghong1970]

take an GTX + Fuzion... add some marvin gaye... and BAM! Enzotech!

[Aldy402]

it looks just like a fuzion but the internals are different enough
the retention plate looks identical to the swifttech stealth

I have to admit though, Enzo comes out with quality products and judging by the pictures , everything is extremely high quality even the mounting screws

[Grinch]

still looks like a more blingy fuzion block...

[Gabriel Noraa]

Very similar to Fuzion and GTX, but very sexy!!

[Duh]

looks lovely..

Check out their BMR-C1. It's a Swiftech look a like set of ram sinks they make also.

[Sparky]

Yeah but at least the BMR-C1 actually sticks

it also has more pins btw, 5x5 while the swifties are 4x4

[Duh]

do not know in this particular case but many times things are better when re-made/copy from another manufacturer based on the original idea with some improvements.. we ll have to wait for numbers (performance)

That matrix milling is a masterpiece. It looks great. I do agree that it seems to be heavily inspired by the fuzion. And I don't like the thick base, I wonder if that'll affect cooling performance.

I'd also like to see the internals since the fuzion has a pretty clever mid chamber; I wonder what these guys came up with. Very nice overall.

Did you forget that bling attracts customers?

Pretty sure that wasnt milled and it was forged like all of enzotechs products

One thing I've always wondered.

Designing a water block and selling it as yours isn't the same as actually making a water block.

For instance, you see a lot of air coolers based on the Zalman design (such as the VF card coolers).

Do D-Tek actually make their water blocks? Or do they design and have them made by a capable third party with CNC machines etc?

We know Radiators are done like this and just rebranded. Masterkleer tubing is also the same which is why you get users who have clear Masterkleer and others have cloudy.

[Enoc]

, enzotech has a section on only why the use forging technology...

wonder when petras is going to get it...

[Ad1tya]

That looks a bad bit restrictive, isnt it?

[Solarfall]

fuzion meets GTX.. i like the looks of it.. very shiny endeed

Yea they just mill the base to be pefectly flat. Machining those pins would cost prolly 100 dollars a piece. Where as forging is much easier and cheaper and produces better results

I am pretty sure that D-Tek and Swiftech out source the work not that it makes a big difference. DangerDen does all their work in house on their own cnc machines.

[Waterlogged]

This is the block I've been waiting to see results on as it looks like it's going to be pretty decent, and I see at least one of my concerns has already been squashed (top material). I really need to see the design of the mid plate though, I'm guessing by "more exit pathways" that they are smaller and evenly spread out?

Well the reason I brought that up is that I'm sure I read Enzotech, or the people who also do Enzotech do work for Swiftech and D-Tek.

Yet I read Swiftech CEO Gabe mention that his staff sand belt the die off the GTX tops so wasn't entirely sure.

The similarities of the Enzotech VGA sinks and chipset sinks being similar to MX519 and MC14s makes me wonder. Not that it's a bad thing, more interesting to know and maybe the reason why such similar products exist.

You are right, yea I was beginning to wonder about the milling, it wouldn't be viable.

This company has style, I like what I see so far, I hope they come up with more water cooling products.
