New Koolance CPU-360 Water Block!

[prava]

i am not a tester..

which is why i am not claiming anything besides it being better then its predicessor.

i gave up testing when ES processors were ban'd.

That makes no sense to me, but my first love has always been processors.

So i decided to give up the later instead of the former.

is it better then the HK.. dunno.. is it better then the XT?
i dunno either..

is it better then the KL-350... well in my system it is.

Something tells me that the 360 will be even better in normal systems as we all know that 350 eats flow like hell...which means that in a less xtreme system the 350 will perform quite worse and, as such, the difference between the 350 and the 360 will be bigger.

Sweet design...

Oh, come on man, I don't think it's a copy... Most waterblocks have very similar design...
Not like it's rocket science.

I do not mean a copy ,.... I speak of the coincidence in the design .

Great looking block! I think it's a nice new and refreshing design. Should perform well too.

[bigx333]

I love the looks of those new koolance blocks (maximus 3, 360, etc)

[space_pope]

Speaking of similarities, don't these look similar?

You place the 360 outlet in the wrong place

[Hondacity]

sharp eye edward88 i didn't see that...lol

[JASSAF]

similar to the HK

[Edward88]

it's quite similar to the heatkiller, only that the 360 have more micro channels and the micro channels have two sizes also the channel across the microchannels that might help. Im looking forward for skinnee results of this block.

That both Koolance and EK have copied the internals of the Heatkiller in main details should be clear. So the possible differences in performance are limited. Still waiting on a innovative idea for different internals ...

... innovative idea: Apogee XT, with "micropin" internal structure!

Which is nothing more than another series of channel cuts in the block, perpendicular to the first set of channel cuts.

Ah, got you wrong, my bad. Both blocks look great imo, both inside and outside.

[Manicdan]

has anyone cut micro channels into the IHS itself? i think that would be pretty cool (good luck with water proofing it).

sorry for the off-topic.

[Hondacity]

the ihs is very thin....

[Manicdan]

id think 1/2mm channels are more than possible, its a little over a mm at the thinnest part right?

are you smoking crack?

EK Supreme predates the HK by almost 1.5yrs.

I was preaching supreme b4 HK and Bitspower even showed up...

EK copied HK my ass... You mean the other way around.

And even before that, there was a block which predates the supreme.

(sorry the HK fanbase pisses me off... they try to bloat the block more then its worth..)

HK copied EK my ass...

And even before that, there was a block which predates the supreme.

...and even before that, the basic concept can be traced to Stew's WhiteWater design... and before that, there was this block of copper with water running through it.... and before that, blahblahblahblah.

Seriously guys, what's the point of this?

yeah... i made edits alex... thanks.. i couldn't think what block it was.. ;P

Need more coffee...

[nikhsub1]

I ROFL when the 'who copied who' discussions start.

On topic, the block looks super sexy, makes me wish I was still testing

And there were versions 1.0 & 1.5 available....
But agreed, I do not know anything about the time before

i would only call it copying, if someone built a block which performed and looked identical to one from years ago. but i think everyone is moving forward with performance, even if things look similar. and its more than just how the bottom plate looks, the water flow path, pressure spray nozzles, and how much resistance all make a huge difference too. and if somehow everyone built the SAME EXACT thing, i would just go with whichever cost the least, and had the mounting method i liked best. there is SO much more than just the bottom plate of copper. (theres the color, duh)
