i doubt they do it in the same place...,if that was the case...all the other products would be forged...or viceversa...
you can copy a design o make it a look a like...but the question is...does it perform?...until now...enzotech air cooling products are top notch and are at the top with thermalright...
and i guess if they did put the same effort in this product as the air cooling ones...we are seeing a excellent product then...
forged metali hope it performs better than fuzion and apogge gtx
MC14s are forged copper.i doubt they do it in the same place...

If it ain't watercooled, I don't wanna know.
Take the 2 best blocks going and mix them together and get this!
Top looks plated, aluminum....
Petra has already stated it's plastic. Hmm, he seems to have deleted that post.
i hope the base isn't polished. if it is, it'll signifigantly degrade the thermal conductivity of copper like other waterblocks that r polished. do u guys think that 2000 grit sand paper can get rid of the polish and make it perform better?
enzotech makes some amazing products
How does it degrade the thermals? As long as there isn't any residue there shouldn't be any problem with heat transfer.
I just wonder about the thickness of the base, hmm...

Umm, can you explain this further? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Just ignore himeveryone else knows that the better the finish on the base the better the heat transfer, and enzotech is well known for making VERY VERY high quality bases on all their products.
well, it was just a thought from a uneducated 13 year old kid, cause i read somewhere where people lap their bases really flat and then use polish to make it shiny, tested it with no polish vs polished, and non polished base won, because it was flat and had no polish in bettween to impair the transfet of heat.Just ignore him
Yeah when they use a polishing compound that can affect heat transfer. But companies usually don't use a polishing compound like that.

Hmmmm, I have their forged northbridge and southbridge heatsinks, both of which are top quality, so we can only hope this block lives up to the rest of their products.

Yeh its only the polishing compound that effects the heat transfer, you wont find any of that from any manufacturer. Here the forged copper is just milled to that high mirror finish.
Baseplate seems quite thick to me... wonder how it performs, can it stand its ground against the FuZion and the Swiftech blocks?
lol... This forum requires that you wait 70 seconds between posts. Please try again in 8 seconds.

Friend: Do you have a spare PSU lying around?
Me: No why?
Friend: My PSU just blew up, I think the second 8800GTX might have been too much for it to handle
Me: what PSU was that again?
Friend: Antec 480w
Me:........
Well i've formally submitted a review sample... not holding my breath as usual. I will get one though, this and the Thermalright will be tested.

i was aiming for a gtx for my quad...but i'll wait for a review of this, i just have a good feeling that is going to perform well...
I look forward to it Scott.
Now, on the topic of this new block, it looks nice, but the flow path may be too simple. I think part of the reason the Fuzion succeeds is through the way it forces turbulence.
Also, I may be old fashioned in my logic now, but doesn't the base look like it will be too thick? I'm probably just recalling old Storm design philosophy that Cathar used to discuss, but it looks very thick.
Formerly XIP, now just P.
Wonder if it'll come bowed or be able to be bowed for quads. Killer looks though, hopefully it's reasonably priced.
No idea how you would bow that 1/4" of solid copper.
I dunno if anyone posted this, but the base has the same pin layout as the fuzion GPU block.

good looking block! hope it performs well
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
