I just like the cleaner look, but yeah I realise that theres no real advantage. I may still consider it though.

http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishsiro45bg.html If you buy a couple of these you can use your 1/2" compression fittings!

I found these on effizienzgurus.de not too long ago IIRC. They were posted by Bundymania.

**bigKr33** · 03-07-2009, 07:33 PM

Very nice! Looks like the 1/2" fittings are just a little too big though

Hi

I can't see any opions on Aquatuning of Sidewinder for the Nichel plated version. Did you do it yourself?

Or is it just a special "onetime" version?

Thnx

I did it my self. You can't buy it just nickel plated.

any updates andy?

**BlueAqua** · 03-09-2009, 12:06 PM

I got my block from Sidewinders today. I really like it so far, it's aesthetically pleasing, has good instructions, great mounting mechanism, solid backplate (although optional), and fairly minimalistic.

I can't speak for the thermals but it's damn sexy.

Here are a few pictures:

It should be against forum policy for you guys to post all of this goodness, jeez.

Wow... I am certainly buying one of those as long it is at least as good as a GTZ.

So can my compressions fit on this waterblock?

**Camaroz06** · 03-09-2009, 02:52 PM

waiting for some temp #'s is killing me!

**zlojack** · 03-09-2009, 03:03 PM

I got mine this weekend...I think I might get it nickel plated since I don't have a loop to add it to at the moment while I wait for new gear to arrive

It's a heavy block! Very solid and nice construction. I got the backplate for it as well.

Sorry for the less than stellar pics, but the lighting wasn't great...

**inonefly** · 03-09-2009, 03:08 PM

whats the material used on the HK 3.0 LT? can you nickel plate it?

LT uses Delrin, so no... you can't nickel plate it.

Also... I am begging for some temp numbers. Even really sketchy ones, I am curious to see how it compares to other blocks in a high flow setup.

My guess is multiple weeks away...if the quantity of blocks is any indication. Good testing takes time

thanks, guess i'll have to get the CU version then

cant wait to see some more testing #s, gonna buy one at the end of this month.

Pics of the inside?

**mattgmann** · 03-09-2009, 04:05 PM

Thankee

**tonyluu** · 03-09-2009, 04:06 PM

If there are any left :P
I ordered mine friday night & should be getting it tomorrow since sidewinder is so close to my home

There are already pictures of the fin design, use google to find them.
