!@#$ d-tek. what block to buy for LGA1366?

[003]

!@#$ d-tek and their waiting game. i'll vote with my cash. What is the best WB I can buy that has support for LGA1366?

[iboomalot]

Gtz

[003]

What about the new koolance block? I heard their new stuff is actually pretty good. Are there any numbers/comparisons for it? Doesn't EK have an offering as well? The Gtz is better than all of these?

[=[PULSAR]=]

I heard D-tek was having problems with their manufacturing partner? That's why there is a delay.

I don't care. I want a block and I want it now.

[exe163]

Gtz

[warriorpoet]

Single or split loop?

Single loop with high head pump: EK Supreme or Koolance 350
Combined loop of low head pump: GTZ

That's the current buzz.

iirc the only reason we heard about the koolance block being good was naekuh's failure lol

[Splave]

GTZ should be here tuesday, using this atm

[Hondacity]

that mounting mod is genious!!!

Haha, that's so terrible it's amazing!

What failure? As far as I know, his only "failure" was not realizing it was bowed, which created incorrect results.

Correct temps...

Very nice

[Chicken Patty]

I Have the Swiftech Apogee GTZ, and I cant be happier. Block is a work of art.

You rule! A brand new 1366 Pro Mount!

[Conumdrum]

Many like the GTZ, so why not do that.

[gazmtk]

there is a guy who makes brass mounting plates for D-Teks in what ever hole config you want (1366 included) now the good thing about Brass is its not gonna bow under pressure, your gonna kill the chip before the mounting plate

[N19h7m4r3]

Salapao, thats genius!

Did you use an EK one and bend it, or make your own?

[mpower1001]

That looks pretty good

[Salapao]

I flip d-tek promount and make from this tools.

Temp from realtemp idle 32 load 64.
Cpu i920 bclk 190, CPU Ratio Setting auto
I file on the screw hole about 0.5 mm (mark position in picture).

Sorry for my bad english

i retested it.

And i tested it in both linpack and OCCT.

Im doing the supreme run right now, but its going bad (cant control my ambients, heater themostat went on the fritz so i needed to turn it off). I keep my testing room, ie basement, on a controled set temperature while testing. usually 23C is the set temp in that room.
Right now its 18C down there.. :\

I told you guys i had imporper mounting pressure, showed a 4-5C difference when correcting that mounting pressure.

It was a simple mistake, no one really knew the block was bowed (i should of read the documentation more carefully, however i was rushing the build to get results out and missed the first page).

I even told my pal gillbot and skinnee and there were honestly quite supprised.

Its honestly the first block i can think of that koolance has bowed.

About its design, Both Nikhsub1 and i both agree that the tweeked fusion design, which is the KL-350 design would be the best block on an I7.
Hands down.

So the test was only a verification of what both he and i thought. :P

So yeah, if your sick of the fusion, you a simular design block, you need to get another fusion, or the 350.

Bah supreme at 18C ambients is crazy un fair compared to the kl-350 @ 23-24C ambients. :P

[nikhsub1]

I don't see how the 350 performs so well without a center inlet... What is to stop water from going in the exit holes and out the center? Answer; nothing. The block from what I can see is poor design and not thought out well at all. I could make the block perform much better without blinking an eye.

[Eddie3dfx]

I would get the ek supreme or aqua's double impact.

center inlet is 45 degree so you can fit compressions.

What do you not see in the block design? it has a wash on 4 ends and water gets pulled from the other side.

The middle plate is like a nozzle the d-tek has, and the block is bowed. Abet not as bowed as the d-tek with the larger oring, but it has a bow.

The difference is the micropin structure. The center base pins more mirror a GTZ.

The center injector is even shaped so it channels water just like the d-tek nozzle, so scott what are you talking about?

So what do you not quite get?



And scott how is it a poor design? its eating my EK supreme from first testing.
And people who use them are reporting very happy temps.

Infact show me why the D-tek is better with higher pressure pumps, because i can see the higher profile pins being an excess then helping with high pressure.
