Flowrates of Koolance 350 / EK Supreme / DTek FusionV2

i currently have the mcr320 on the setup....seems to me martins testing and my data are abit off... anybody with confirmation?

**Hondacity** · 01-06-2009, 10:27 PM

i have the 2nd and 3rd pump...all are reproducing the same values on the mcr320....

:X

no... then id say something is throwing you off. :X

trust me i know martin and his methodology. Hes dayam accurate.

He's an engineer for the government.

mcr320 data added

*tried with 3 different pumps...different waterblocks...

my mcr320 has no dents, its a single pass radiator...even if the one pipe is dented it couldn't cause this much restriction. martin might have a different mcr320 than mine...

Can you test the 350 flowrate without the plastic mid plate? I would bet that with a proper nozzle that the 350 would perform better without the plastic piece on single slug with a nozzle.

I'm willing to bet you're right.

I've been known to be wrong once or twice

My brain just doesnt see the function of the plastic bit... it only causes unnecessary restriction. On dual slug 'maybe' but i7, I don't see it. Flow rates would be better too.

For rev.2 I think it'd probably work better if the plate (if necessary) were threaded into the top. They'd get a much freer outlet path and still have some degree of control over directional flow. Bonus: no inter-plate leakage.

Before launch we did try many different shaped and sized holes on the accelerator plate, what is being produced is what yielded the best overall temperatures. But due to feedback from many enthusiasts we are making available blank impingement plates here so anyone can try their hand at improving the block!

im actually thinkn of making a series of tiny holes instead of 1 big hole.

Seeing if having focused jets instead of 1 big jet will be any better.

You know what was the most interesting thing about that whole debacle? The fact that the competitors who screamed bloody murder and said how much bs the koolance tests were... and said how they were going to prove it... Well guess what the comparison tests they promised never ever materialized. That spoke volumes

Anyway, as Dean noted earlier the 350 block is designed as a more restrictive block and is stated on the site. The 345 is a higher flow block, also as stated. It would be interesting to see that tested as well.

Cheers

As I have said before, the more the industry tried to run from Cathar's designs the more the engineering brought them back.

I finally giving in and buy a Core i7 setup, I just can't fight the sickness any longer. I will do one last shabang on LGA775 CPU blocks before moving to LGA1366. Plus, I was getting close to violating my contract with the XS WCG team.

I am very excited to start testing a couple new LGA775 blocks, and just geeked to finally see what the LGA1366 blocks have to offer.

I am glad to see that the counseling sessions have finally paid off.

Take two quads and call me in the morning.

Ahh the old KL fanboy. The tests were BS. Cathar even pointed it out itself. KL did a good job by just sweeping the whole ordeal under the rug and starting over at square one. The new 350 block is a fantastic step in the right direction. Not only have they gotten rid of their ALU crap, but they've also pushed the performance envelope. That gets two thumbs up from me.

However, you'd be a fool to think that KL's test conditions on their radiator debacle weren't comical.

Makes me smirk every time I see this play out. =)

**Mech0z** · 02-26-2009, 10:44 AM

Is the LT a I7 block only? Because it would seem thats a better choise than the Fuzion V2

**Hondacity** · 02-26-2009, 11:01 AM

its for 775 and 1366

read this thread...thanks
