Don't you want a Supreme? [or was it someone else lol]

[disruptfam]

probably me...

Yeah, I do want an EK. Im keeping my loop CPU only, so I figured the EK would best block for that... But ultimately, I'd probably notice a 1-2C difference, and its hard to fit (more) bling into my student budget

Gabe,
I did not read all 30 pages of this thread but if it has not already been mentioned please dont forget to get this new design ready for the Bloomfield chipsets (which obviously has wider spacing than socket 775 chipsets). Maybe something like ~85% of all the guys who post here will be ditching their X38/48/780/790 chipsets come around October to December.

Thanks,
Jay

The surface of the WB will cover the core of the Nehalems with room to spare. You don't have to cover the entire IHS just the core but this looks like it willjust about cover all of a Nehalem..Just need a mount plate with different screw mount position to match the Nehalem.

Here is a secret site where a set of comparative results have already been published http://www.swiftech.com/products/apogee-gtz.asp but shhh... don't tell anyone, OK

This has been an interesting thread. I agree with Gabe as far as in keeping Martin's, Andyc's and nikhsub1's testing to completely impartial we should donate to their and our cause. What they are doing is very valuable to us. Well I was able to give Martin a small donation. However I was unable to wait for the results so I went ahead and purchased anyhow. BTW I saw the price break at Performance PCS but I purchased from John at Jab-Tech, my favorite "Dealer". So I'm just anxiously waiting confirmation that I made the right decision. Heck it has to be better than the GTX I already have.

But more reviews = the more excited I am about a product. I'm not sure if its the amount of photos of someone else's machine that has a better product installed in it versus mine, or just more internet coverage. One review = i don't buy it. 12 reviews saying "i must have this product" = i've bought the thing with overnight shipping for a ridiculous amount of cash.

EDIT: Just look at my sig as proof.... ;-)

It seems this water block needs to be mounted in specific way (this is from the mounting instructions):
'The waterblock North-South axis should always be perpendicular to the socket locking lever.'

But if you have the motherboard in a BTX type case, 'up-side-down'?
Do you need to mount the water block 'up-side-down' as well?

[Pellepel]

risk it and buy one =p

Rule of thumb is to have the output port topside to allow air bubbles to escape.

I assume that you wouldn't flip the block (so the GTZ is still right side up).

The waterblock would not see the difference (think of it as just changing the layout of your board and the processor is at the bottom)

@gabe: when the successor MCW60?

[DementeD]

i bought it ..i hope its as good as swiftechs benches for the q6600

[faster3200]

I just bought one of these from performance-pcs. I should be getting it on or around Monday. With all that we know so far I would say worst case scenario we get a block that performs within 1-2 degrees of the EK and is less restrictive.

@gabe: when the successor MCW60?

Probably by end of next week beginning next.

im waiting for it to come out before i buy my wc system.

[Rapt0r]

Hmm if this baby is also optimised for the new LGA1366 Nehalem cpus,that will be great.

[_G_]

Ordered mine from petras, works out the same for me since I have to pay tax thru performance pcs

ps: I better get a pen! lol

[Eternalightwith]

I believe they are out end of next week. They replaced the original MW60 and this is
rev. 2 They are selling soon, as old stock rev. 1 is gone or almost.
