Great job Swiftech on getting those samples out.
Great job Swiftech on getting those samples out.
I never make the list, Guess i'm not well enough known.
Martin, mcoffey and nikshub will be PM'd to death until they release their test results...kinda glad I'm not on the review list for this one.
Are these (production samples) going to be like the standard all in one H2O120 and 220 kits that are already out?
Only with the GTX block built into them?
Is ST going to implement the GTX into the all in one kits?

I think its just the GTZ block?

Awesome thanks!
Perfect timing, been working through the other blocks as we speak so it should be a good round of them.
:[ im not loved either.

Its my fault.. and no im not sorry about it either.[12:37] skinnee: quit helping me procrastinate block reviews, you asshat. :p

RRR offered to snuggle if you need some consoling.
You don't need that hassle. Its not as though youdon't have enough blocks to play with.
ROFLMAO!
no i dont think i'll become normal after that experience.

Has any real information been released yet? The block isn't even on Swiftech's site yet.

please do not hesitate to call for support should any unanticipated problem arise.Awesome thanks!

Our back plate is purposedly sticky; given your activity which dictates that you change blocks very frequently, I suggest that you do not peel-off the paper protection from the adhesive foam, that way you can test with manufacturer supplied retention mechanism while retaining the flexibility of using other manufacturers' systems.
CEO Swiftech
Product information will be released the minute we ship to the the dealers, which is tomorrow.
CEO Swiftech
you have PMAwesome thanks!

Thanks heaps gabe. Will you have an X58 plate available for when Nehalem arrives?
Ahh, gotcha. I am really excited about this block.

Gabe, first I do appreciate the sampleMy question is can I use my stud mounts instead of the supplied OEM mount? Like so:
Also, as I test on a single die dual core, should I try different mount orientations or is that not necessary? Thanks!

Will do, thanks!
I'll also try with the same mounting kit/hardware I'm using on all the other blocks for mounting pressure consistency.
We certainly prefer and recommend that the product be tested as shipped. We worked real hard on this retention system. Nonetheless, there is no prior agreement here, and we cannot dictate how people will end up using the block.Gabe, first I do appreciate the sample

Orientation of the block is absolutely specific, described in the installation guide (included with the product), which will also be online (in color) tomorrow evening.
CEO Swiftech
That's kind of what I'm thinking but want to know if the other mount provides a bonafide performance gain over what I've got.

For all block fairness, I have to at least try testing them all the same way once. But that's no reason you can't use the proprietary mount and compare those results. I think after you do enough mounts as a tester, you get pretty good and consistent though. My E6600 round I had up to a 2C delta between mounts on my fuzion V1. So far on my second round, I'm down to about .5C at my worst even with the bowed blocks ans some down to .1-.2C between three remounts.
Practice makes perfect I guess, but a good mounting mechanism is a huge advantage for folks that don't remount 50 times with 10 different blocks and that's a very nice feature that should be noted if it's pretty hard to mess up with it.
Cross post with Gabe... I think I'll just do 5 runs with my mount (as all other blocks have been tested) and then 5 with the OEM mount... will also tell me if the mount provides any benefit.

When your in Grinchville, nothing is normal... Including you...
As a fair review protocole to any product, I suggest that a product ought to be tested as shipped by the manufacturer first, the results noted, then tested under different conditions at the reviewers discretion.
CEO Swiftech
Another way is for the reviewers to withhold the results until both methods is fully tested then the numbers released at the same time. This will help avoid speculations and false expectations.
I'm looking forward for the results and I'm happy to hear who will get a sample, those are great choices
