Apogee GTZ

[nikhsub1]

Hmm interresting. A small conclusion form that is that its no point in going from 18v to 24v on the RD-30 since the added heatdump outdo the gain from the higher flow....

Not always, its a tricky balance. If you have enough rads to cope with the heat, you will see a benefit. For testing however, it muddles things more.

And for all of you that think I said something so sacrilege I apologize but in reality, I did not insult, flame, belittle etc, etc. I apply the same principles to myself at times, honest.

I dont speak much on this forum, but thats not because I dont contribute or help members. Thats because it's already been or being done. So i found my place on this forum. If i remember correctly, what was the term many people used? XSfamily? well think of me as the smart nerdy over-acheiving younger brother who only speaks to correct you.

That attitude doesn't bode well for your future in this family

Sorry to go off topic Martinm210 what tubing are you using in that picture

back OT that block looks promising can't wait to see some results.

It's a combination, the orange is XSPC tubing and the dark blue is Feser tube. I thought I'd be creative and make the outlet line to the rad orange and the cooler return blue just to help me from mixing them up..

Compression fittings are all TFC as well.

Anyhow, I just noticed Swiftech is now posting a new date on their website for the GTZ, it says:


Coming soon (ETA 8/11)

So next week these may be rolling out to the regular folks...looking foward to it..

To the regular folks

How long have you had one

Maybe long enough to post some test results to coincide
with the release?

Now that's Keeping it

Regular folks would include me, I did get an email that I may get one when released, but not prior to that.

I purposely asked for a production sample when it is released to the public. I had too many radiators left to test to start my CPU block testing again and make the timeframes they were after on the preproduction samples.

So, nope I don't have one, I don't know anything more than what was posted on the coolingmasters site, which apparently is incorrect anyhow.

I am starting in on testing the other blocks I do have finally on this quad core...so if I get one it'll be good timing to work into the rest of the samples testing..

Now this is great news. Finally a Real review of those EK Supreme, Fuzion V2, Enzotech Rev A and GTZ
My decision to buy a WB, like many of us, will depend on your results

Thank you very much for going through that big time consuming expedition

some people asked if 1/4" BSPP to 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD compression fittings work with the block, so here is confirmation that they do. We haven't pressure tested, but a cursory check shows no problem so far.

1/2-3/4 compression fittings?
Also, would it be possible to extend to Nehalem without changing the whole top and spending a crazy sum of money like for the GTX copper top? That is, will it be possible to release only a top mounting fixing plate?

All I can promise is that we will try our absolute best to confine this to a simple and painless upgrade, and all I can say is that it looks encouraging so far.

[gabe]

Are the compression fittings pictured 1/2" x 3/4" ???

If so, that's AWESOME ......

I have edited my post to clarify further. sorry for not being precise enough.

[Nate P.]

What's that on the NB?

[hotdun]

Gabe, you my man, are alright in my book..............

Somebody's changing their tune....

What's that on the NB?

Ditto...

[freakgeek1337]

Ya I was curious what's on the NB too, it seems that that's a Maximus II board... Hmm...

[faster3200]

Woah, that is great looking. Assuming it preforms half as well as it sounds I think I have found my new cpu block. It even has bling master approval so far .

[SaiNRuB]

Gabe, tell me about the chipset block you have seated on the maximus II please!!


Fantastic products brother!!

and I am now confirming that pressure/leak tests passed.

[Sadasius]

and I am now confirming that pressure/leak tests passed.

I might switch out my D-Tek then for this one. If it performs just as good or better.

[Bojamijams]

Whatever it is on the NB it says REPUBLIC OF GAMERS on that sticker..

[skinnee]

I don't think we're going to be getting any details on the NB block, Gabe has clearly not responded to those questions. Could very well be something he can't release any info on yet or a Swiftech internal use (lab) block only.

[IanY]

What's that new chipset block?

Compatible with ROG heatsinks too!

Yea that's the impression i'm getting too. But he's entitled to secrecy if he wants/needs. If it's for the market we'll know about it eventually.
