[REVIEW] Enzotech Phoenix (is a prototype and not the final release)

[canna1988]

Hello Xtreme System, in first time I am sorry for my English but I hope that you understand me

Today I would show you a prototype of the new Enzotech CPU Block, called Enzotech Phoenix. Particular Thanks to Enzotech for the possibility.

the final release of this waterblock will have some difference in the base.... but i will give you other inforamtion only later

In the next pics you can see the features of this jewel...

Bundle is so composed:

- AMD Retention Module (AM2+ / AM2 / 940)
- AMD Backplate ( AM2+ AM2 / 940)
- Intel Backplate (775)
- User Manual
- CPU Waterblock
- 4 Innerspring Screws
- Two 1/2" Hi Flow Hose Barbs
- Two Tube Clamps
- Artic Silver Ceramique Thermal Grease
- 4 Clip Bolts
- Nylon Spacers.



Aesthetically is very similar to the Luna, but in the Phoenix we can find a blu sapphire TOP, this is very cool





Barbs are the traditional used by Enzotech.



Base is fantastic.


Top inside is the same of the Enzotech Luna but We can find a different injection that work better and so liquid is shaped better





Phoenix respect Luna has a different base, because has got a lot number of Fins that improve the performance.







For the test we have used an I7 platform, so we have used the Enzotech Type-z 1366 Adapter.





Is also possible use the Compression Fitting of the Phoenix



Now we can Start the test

For the test i have used these Hardware.

DFI DK-X58-T3EH6
Intel Core I7 920
6GB Patriot Memory 1600 (PVT36G1600LLK)
Gainward GTX260 GS GLH
CoolerMaster Real Power 1250W
Patriot Memory SSD Warp Series.

Liquid cooling system is so composed:

Pump: Sanso PD31
Radiator: Thermochill pa 120.3
Tube: XSPC 7/16 about 2,6 Meters.
Waterblock: Enzotech Phoenix
Reservoir: Home made Plexy Reservoir
water temperature: 24°C

The instrument used for the test are:

Thermometer: PCE-T390
Probe: PT100 Probe
Manometer: PCE-P30
Flow Meter: Dwyer RMC-143-SSV



We have mounted the Thermometer probe directly under the CPU so we have misured only thorough Temperature.



For the test we have used the PCE-Group Instrument because are very accurate and in the same time not expensive.

Software used:

Linx 0.5.8 runinng for 30 mins in each test.

Other Information

Air Temperature: 20°C
Air in: 20°C
number of mount: 5 times for every test. after all the mount i have calculated the medium value.

And now the test.....

Start with the Pression Drop Test because is very important in a loop with plus of a Block in series.



Pression Drop in this Block is very lower, this is fantastic because usually with the use of fins there is ever a big drop

Temperature Test:





Also the temperature are really good, because all people know that new Intel Core I7 are very hotter CPU.

I must say, that it looks really nice. Visually.

[canna1988]

yes is very good the wb

you can check in the liquid cooling section the comparative between phoenix and fuzion V2

[Mescalamba]

And compared to HK 3.0? Btw. what size are those compression fittings?

[canna1988]

i Haven t the HK 3.0 for the test... i am sorry

compression fitting are 5/8 OD and 1/2 ID

[sholvaco]

Love both the looks of Luna and this. Any chance of a different color LED (red)?

[canna1988]

yes of course the final release will be differnet... but now i can' t say other.... because is not sure the final color

[diredesire]

impressive pin quality. Any idea on a release date for this block? How are the pins manufactured, they look cast almost, not machined...

[Leeghoofd]

There will be other designs in test soon (hope to get a sample too) Skinnee will post his results too , though he seems to have another pin design then me

[Chosen.]

Thank you for this!
