GTX Corrosion

[IanY]

So basically, you're touting HydreX usage as being the reason as to why we have corroded GTX tops without actually knowing what HydreX is?

So the FuZion out performs the GTX, is cheaper, doesn't eat itself even if you use a coolant not recommended by the manufacturer. Hmm, so it's designed better?

Of course the GTX Aluminium top was aesthetics over design, Gabe even said it was a set to match the Stealth. Was no reason why the GTX could have been made from Delrin.

There is no mosfet blocks in my avatar

Yes I did paint some MIPS blocks, but what has that got to do with the GTX eating itself? The paint was behind the O-ring and not in the threads of the barbs, so didn't come in contact with the water. I never even used those blocks, Tom @ ChilledPC did when he used them on my board to pull a 10s SuperPI time before the G0's were even out.

Maybe we'll see an innovative ApogeeGTX Twin Turbo with even smaller pins and a non aluminium top.

Once again, I'm not the one who painted any blocks. I could care less if the blocks were doo doo brown and lime green or hot fuschia. I'm not the one who gets all hyped up about how computers look and take pics to proudly acclaim how cooling looking my computer is. It could be built inside a toilet bowl and I will gladly use it if it performs at its best. You even went as far to put EK barbs into your GTX to match your other EK blocks lol

Gabe already said that he won't make blocks with acrylic tops. Why he doesn't like Delrin is his decision. I could care less if it is made of cardboard, as long as its the top performing block. For a while it was the best block. And honestly, the price differential between it and teh FuZion has been inconsequential.. a mere $10.. or even if its $30, I could care less. If someone doesn't want to fork over the extra money, its not my business. My heart won't bleed if someone can't fork over that extra $10, because if money is that tight, then precious cash should not be expended on something as silly as water cooling for a computer.

Understand the electrical circuit schematics behind your motherboard? Understand the die structure and electronic connections in your cpu dies? Yet, you use your motherboard and cpu!

I don't have the inclination to go find out the chemical properties in Hydrx. I am told that the GTX works best when its used with Hydrx, then why wouldn't I use it ? If D-Tek tells me that their special coolant (not dye) works well with the FuZion, you can bet your ass that I will use it religiously. Otherwise, I wouldn't use a FuZion.
