i would just crank up the vcore at stock speeds only for some testing. I am not sure if you would be able to measure the differences easily at stock vcore seeing that the blocks are quite identical. not to mention there is also the inconsistency between mounts![]()

V2![]()
i would say it doesnt make a difference really..we cant compare the results as every system is different. Obviously both will perform good so...
personally i would test the V1 first to have a reference.. Then you can go on with the V2 and see how it scales to V1
ps: some ambient temps along with other info etc would help a lot to analyse results

wow u just went to petras, saw the new block, then came here! i cant wait to see the results!
if the new block does turn out well then i will be getting one to replace my v1.
so does the v2 come with a quad core nozzle already in it? or do you have to buy separately and put it in?
I can't wait for the results![]()
sigh.. looks like an all nighter and gallons and gallons of distilled![]()
LOL hell I get mine tomorrow and if they don't start showing up I just might beat them to it.
Be patient people!
Testing takes a while you know.
I'm first testing the V1 first, just to get a base to start with.
So far I've done two remounts with the stock washer, testing Idle and Load temps, and I've just mounting it with the Quad nozzle and am going to test that.
Stay tuned...![]()

Ok, just did a second remount with the Quad nozzle.
Next should I test two mounts with the 5.5 Nozzle, or should I test the V2?
You guys decide.![]()

woo hoo!!!!!
Thanks smee!!! I was just joking with ya. Hell I know this stuff takes time, and effort.
No problem m8! It's fun, but yes it does take a lot of time and work..... for those tests and a couple that haven't been released yet () it took me about 4 hours.... remounts and switching blocks take a while, plus air bubbles are a pain....
So yea, a lot of work, but I really do enjoy it!!!![]()

Well guys, as far as the stock block tests, the V2 holds about 4-5c better temps.
This is looking good!![]()
