To those that have them and have seen the inside what is your gut feeing on these? Better then a koolance 350?

**bigKr33** · 03-09-2009, 04:43 PM

Man I'm really thinking of buying this block now. Even if it doesn't fit 16mm compression fittings. I may just go with 1/2" barbs with 7/16 tubing.

I could've sworn I've seen some temps for this block. I'm pretty sure it did better than the koolance 350 block. I can't support this for sure, but just the other day I was reading a forum and it was comparing the koolance 350, heatkiller 3.0, ek supreme lt, and d-tek v2. I'll see if I can find it.

Yep found it, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ight=hondacity

**Broken** · 03-09-2009, 04:43 PM

Certainly much better looking than those FUGLY Koolance blocks.

**bundymania** · 03-09-2009, 06:23 PM

the best block ya can get atm !

**BlueAqua** · 03-09-2009, 06:26 PM

Damn! That nickel plated block looks very good. Great pictures Bundymania.

**bundymania** · 03-09-2009, 06:38 PM

yeah and check the last picture with special version of the logo plate - only available direct at watercool.de , because you have to mount the block vertically at gigabyte S1366 Boards.

i wonder how the mounting mechanism works...that stud in between the mobo and waterblock seem i dunno...

**bundymania** · 03-09-2009, 06:51 PM

..to bring light in the darkness -> here is the manual

Man, I really can't decide now, Suprem LT, K-350, HK 3.0........

**bundymania** · 03-09-2009, 07:06 PM

if the race starts between those 3 little fellas, i personally would prefer the Heatkiller 3.0...the CU Version of course and than you have to nickel plate it asap

Hey Bundymania, I know there's a sort of treatment on the copper top to keep it shiny. Did you have to remove that before doing the nickel plating?

**bundymania** · 03-09-2009, 07:17 PM

yep, the company where the block was nickel plated did that job for me

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks!

I've got a place here that will do it...so I guess I'll go see them for a quote.

**xguntherc** · 03-09-2009, 07:22 PM

no one has any results yet??? I want one.

Well, if Bundy's results are confirmed by others the HK will pretty much take be your only real choice. Better cooling AND better flow... that is nuts.

I am curious what the results will be on a higher flow/pressure system though.

Hmm... I'd love to do a makeshift capscrew mount like this for my ek supreme.
Any ideas guys?

Looks like it's a cap screw, spring, with some type of threaded rod... not sure whats behind there or he uses a backplate.

**Hondacity** · 03-09-2009, 07:53 PM

i'll be testing this block this coming weekend ...i'll be curious how it performs against the k350 and the supremes...

**shazza** · 03-09-2009, 07:56 PM

Can't wait for your testing, Hondacity.

I received a Koolance 350 last week ... I was just a bit underwhelmed by the finish on this block - on the top plate, in particular. Picky, I know

**bundymania** · 03-09-2009, 08:04 PM

Test against the Koolance :

@faster3200: don´t care about more flow, it takes no effect, if ya got 150 liters/h (like me) or 200 liter ....or even more !

wow, it really is a heat killer (sorry but someone had to say it

)

Just because the graph doesn't go past 210l/h doesn't mean there's no effect

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=219842

Typical gain with a Fuzion V2 when going above .7GPM is in the neighborhood of 1.5-2C....and it does seem to keep scaling past what I tested.

Contrary to what you're saying, added flow can (and often does) do something (and this is on the Fuzion V2, a block purported to be flow-agnostic).

Take a look at the GTZ graph in the link you provided....notice the sharp decline in temps as the flowrate increases? What if you continue to increase flow past what was tested (e.g., to a flowrate most USA WCers would run, like 2x+ that)?

In the same link, the Supreme and the Ybris A.C.S. also have pretty aggressive scaling with flow. Clearly flow is helping a lot more than "nothing"

**Martinm210** · 03-09-2009, 09:35 PM

Are you guys done....YET???

I'm waiting for results here. Now quite yer clickety clickety, and start benching ASAP!...

Just kidding...

The block looks like good supreme competition, and I've always had a soft spot for all metal/copper construction. That's one thing I really liked about the Stinger V8 and Enzotech blocks. Delrin/acetal works, but there's just something about an all metal block that spews durability/quality/I mean business.

We just need some high flow dedicated loop DDC with top or D5 performance type of testing....

Carry on with the goodnes..

Take it easy and have fun, and looking forward to some more results..

Just kidding, trying to clear out enough time to test it now, and it is built like a tank.

andyc

I had to do it and damn if felt good..

Back to my easy chair...would you mind handing me the remote?...
