D-Tek Fuzion vs EK-Supreme?

[Blazing fire]

Nope, it's one of my favorite blocks, but not the best thermal performer. The confusion came when the EK first came out with the wrong mounting orientation instructions. It's about 1.5-2.0c behind the EK depending on the mount.

Sorry for the earlier confusion, I corrected it in a later post.

Okay!

Thanx for the tests Andy!!!

as for the restriction of the EK blocks, well I have an EK Supreme and EK FC block in one loop with a single D5 with the EK X-Top!
I was getting too much flow to properly bleed the air, and thats with a Micro Res, but to clarify I did modify the Supreme's accelerator plate, the long middle accelerators in the middle I made into 1 big accelerator.

with minimal testing, I gained 1 to 2 degrees celcius better performance after I did it, and huge improvements in flow!
but the thermals may be due to a better mount?! who knows, when I get my test bench cranking I will test it properly with a E7200 at 4.2ghz and I will be buying a Q9550 to test aswell.

thanks to Eddy I have 6 different EK accelerator plates to play with, plus 7 standard plates to play with designs

EK-Supreme = Quality =

EK-Supreme "without nozzle"+3*120 Rad+500mm AlphaCool Rez+D-Tek DB-1 Pump "aka DD-CPX1" as single block loop, works on a E8600 with a very high flow&low load temps...

I'm very very happy with my GTZ
But i know thats not an option

Hi, could anyone confirm if the Aqua Computers Double Impact is indeed the best CPU block?

It's one of the best.
In terms of temps, ek supreme, v2, and gtz beat it out bit a tiny bit.

Now, nobody has tested the silver version yet, so I'll wait for this review.

Okay just googled silver cathar block, the one rrr now owns. Here is what the review stated.

For comparison the Little River Cascade, Cascade SS, and Storm G4 waterblocks are also shown. It is clear from this graph that the Storm G5 is the best block ever manufactured by Little River Waterblocks over all flow rates. It is interesting to note that at very low flow rates (0.25 ), the G5 shows performance equal or better to the Cascade and Cascade SS while the G4 performs worse than the earlier blocks. Since the influence of silver in the Cascade SS had a very small effect on performance at lower flow rates, I would suspect that the higher nozzle/cup density of the G5 is responsible for its improved performance. This makes sense as more jets of smaller ID would lead to increased water velocity, and more cups of smaller size would improve surface area for cooling. As flow rates are increased to more realistic (0.5-1.5 GPM), the G5 just walks away from the other blocks. The combination of increased jet/cup density and silver base result in an improvement of 0.5-0.6C over the G4 at higher flow rates. Rather by luck or by careful design, it is clear that the jet impingement is extremely optimized in the G5.

Of interest to most readers is the performance of the Storm G5 waterblock plotted versus other commercial blocks I have tested:

So, ultimately, if you have a piss poor pump, the addition of silver won't make a difference because of poor flow.
Now I'd like to see how the Aqua Double Impact Silver with a Dual DDC-XSPC TOP perform vs a gtz.

Could be interesting results

Stop it. You're making me all wheepy just thinking about that block.

Do you think you will pick one up? I can't wait to see results on that thing.

[ShoNuff]

Oh hell yes. As soon as I can get my hands on one. I'm just hoping Sharka can get some.

The silver blocks are made to order and are still available. Just order direct from AC via Shoggy. I ordered one and that is what I was told. Hopefully it will get here soon!

Nice find. What do you consider "piss poor pump"? MCP355/655?

Why don't you buy it and do a test. I'm sure everyone would find it useful Thanks!
