D-Tek Fuzion V2 full review posted

[Martinm210]

Thanks for all your hard work, 3c difference on average is nice.


I wonder how it compares to a Supreme.



*runs away*

Not sure on the Supreme, I've never tried one thermally. I did manage to get a pressure drop test on one, but I didn't have my crystalfontz setup yet, so I wasn't able to test thermal. I think the microchannel blocks like the supreme are really good at quads.

Thanks for the testing Martin great work! Now tell me why does it have to slap the V1 all over town, give it a wedgie and take it's lunch money?

Anyone want to buy a 2 month old V1 with an EK Supreme backplate for a good price?

V1 is still a great block.

Good results Martin!! And good review!

Thanks for posting this!
Your results are very very similar to what I'm getting!

BTW, I got a new board, and am starting some testing tonight! So I will have my results up soon, testing with a quad core, I've got the quad mid plate too.

Edit:
Forgot to ask, what quad are you getting?

Yeah, you're right in there, look forward to your multple mount results too..keep it up.

Great work Martin.

On the final mounts, the 3.09C Delta-T swing between best and worst, what did that equate to as far as keeping the CPU cooler for the V2?

Thanks again for a the hard work and taking the time to post.

I must be slow, I didn't have any that far off. My worst case was the V1 testing, but it was only a 1.95C delta. I think a majority of that is due to the mounting plate on V1 being loose, it's much more difficult to get the block level with the plate loose.

As far as the V2 results go, I tested three different configurations. Stock (5 mounts), Stock + Quad Nozzle (only 2 mounts before giving up), and Stock plus 4.5mm nozzle (5 mounts).

Mounting consistency was much better on the V2. Stock worst to best was only .58C.
