not really, a single 355 with xspc res top can handle the phobya, xspc 4870 razor f/c block, and blackops nb block with ease

If you guys are ok with not seeing thermals yet, just pressure drop...I can post that info.

alright, hotdun. You have now volunteered yourself to run distraction while I prep for thermals and test!
I made a review (in Dutch) of this block you can find here. Compared it to a XSPC Delta and the Supreme. Supreme was the best block in my tests (my fist one btw), not by much though.
Here is the overall 5 mount graph from that test:
avarage temps over 5 mounts:
And here the best mounts:
tempprobes used for water and air I used are the Dallas One Wire DS18B20 (two for water and two for air; next time it will be 12 for air) connected to a Crystalfontzpanel with SCAB. Each mount was a 30min log time and 50min warming up.

Coolfris, what caused the huge difference between the mounts on the Phobya? Is the mounting system not very good or did you just get one bad mount?

thanks for the review...i'm now convinced about...xspc delta v3
and the ek supreme..reigns supreme..i guess the bowed surface helped alot...
and the phobya..it just scares me..lol thin base...tsk tsk..i don't want it...
Third mount of the Phobya must be indeed a bad mount. The look of the imprint on the IHS was not very different from the others though. Maybe next time I should do more mounts and pick the best 5 within some given range, or something like that. I worked on the data after all the testwork. So maybe next time I will work on the data during testing the blocks. For a better temp resolution I will double logging time so there will be also more time for working during testing.
One thing I also noticed that the Phobya is a bit of a noisy block. Maybe it was because of the 2 DCC's in serie I used.
