D-Tek Fuzion V2 RELEASE THREAD!

[smee]

I will be able to tell you of any issues next week, order arrives for me next Thursday.

I also may be getting some Fat Boys this week, but you should have no problem putting them on.

[Repliquant67]

Somebody tested the quadcore plate ?

A slightly more noob-ish review than martins, but still, an aswesome block.

[justjeff]

Got mine ordered from Petratechshop.com and should be here the 20th!!! Yippie!!! I can finally ditch my Aquacomputer Cuplex XT

[smee]

Ugh, as of the past week and a half, the weather has been going crazy...
80f -100 degree's throughout the week and I cannot do testing like this.
I'm going to have to wait a bit, maybe do it at night time when the weather is mellow.

But with the ambient changing and all, it's impossible to do block comparisons.

Haha nice!

Aren't they uh, loud though???

[IFMU]

now who's sending one over to martin?

Bah! Ta' heck with martin... I need a water block! lol

[BP-Vincent]

still 2x 1/2" ID bitspower will not fit

Off-Center Rotary Adapter will solve this problem...

[bito]

Anybody using/tried the Universal mount with the V2??
Don't really want to take my 'board out of the case again at the moment.

[skinnee]

Just got mine. Is anyone using those new Fat Boy Barbs on one? Any issues?

Order arrived...no issues with FatBoy fittings (1/2"), just a little less clearance between them versus the stock fittings. I am using 3/4" OD, thats the only reason I really noticed the difference with the FB fittings.

Can you bow the V2?

[smee]

Can you bow the V2?

Yes you can, just put a bigger o-ring inside it and it'll bow.
I'll be testing it bowed too.

i dont want to dig through 10 pages of this thread, but this block comes with mounting plate, back plate, and the pro mount springs right? i just need to make sure before i buy it

Yes sir!
Comes with everything you need and more.

Can you bow the V2?

Using a good straight edge, I found the block stock when completely tightened down already has a very slight bow. I put a bigger diameter o-ring from an EK barb which bowed it a little more, but I didn't seen any noteworthy gain doing that on a lapped processor, but it may be helpful on a stock IHS.

The bigger EK o-ring is a bit tricky to install. Thicker o-rings won't really stay put (I tried that first), but the same thickness o-ring that's very very slightly larger in ID/OD like the EK o-ring will squeeze into the slot and stay put for the midplate installation.

[inonefly]

for a lapped cpu, is it better leave the v2 stock ( not bowed)?

[WhiteFireDragon]

Yes sir!
Comes with everything you need and more.

with the Quick-Mount Set (sold separately right?), would it still attach to the back plate that is included? if it does, this still requires the removal of the mobo since the back plate is behind the mobo and there is no way to attach it without holding on it while installation right? and if it doesn't go on the backplate, then that means it would bow the mobo?

There is some sticky adhesive tape on the back of the backplate, it'll stick no problem.

The quick-mount kit sucks, don't buy it.
And no it will not attach to the backplate as you can't with quick-mounts.

You won't bend the mobo if you don't tighten the screws in to much.

[Martinm210]

for a lapped cpu, is it better leave the v2 stock ( not bowed)?

I think so at least from the few mounts I tried on a lapped E6600 The thicker EK o-ring and more bow just introduced more mount variability and the best mounts wern't really any better than the best stock V2 mounts.

I would think having a quad core would make that even more apparent, but I'll wait to see what other people find out before I'm 100% sure.

It also probably depends a little on the TIM used. I've been testing with the www.tim-consultants.com T-C Grease 0098, it performed much better (almost 3C) better than artic ceramique did in my quick 3 mount test. Bowing should have less benefit on better TIM pastes and may also change with how thick a paste is.

[inonefly]

thank you. I'll leave my v2 as it is for now, but with the quad insert

[Justintoxicated]

Hey guys, Thinking about buying Fuzion V2 to replace my old TDX.

Moving from an opterion 165 to a Q9450, so I really should get a new block instead of a $20 brass top right?

Also, I have not lapped the CPU so I should put in a larger O-ring to bow the block?

Order would be:
1 Fuzion V2
1 Quadcore Nozzel
1 Pro Mounting Kit

or should I skip the mounting dit/ nozzel? I will have 1 or 2 GPU's and MB in the same loop so I don't want to restrict flow too much?

[jerrydog]

I assuming you are cooling an Intell 775 socket if yes you don't need a pro mounting kit since the V2 comes with an attached Pro mounting system
