Skinnee Labs - GTX480 Block Round-Up (working thread)

[scottc19]

make the 60,000+ views will put on more pressure to get this finished oO

[UrbanSmooth]

Take your time to get it all right, Skinnee, many of us have and will be spending hundreds of dollars based on these results (not to add to the pressure or anything, lol).

If it takes you another month to refine the presentation of all collected and collaborated data, then take your time and don't even worry about it.

Hello Martin,

At least one of the biggies would have done it but will not provide the results because of impact on the bottom line.

Maybe, but the problem is there is no standard to follow or adhere to so nobody would trust the data coming from a manufacturer assuming its biased.

Would be a wonderful thing to actually have real performance specifications on the boxes of watercooling products. Pressure drop curve =, c/w curves =, per test spec xxx.xxx

No standards = no trust = consumers burden to figure it all out on their own..

Hellz no, I'd kill myself if this took another month. Writing, writing, writing... its the longest part.

Agreed. Hence the company with the best advertising/marketing wins in this scenario. I have yet to see a company publishing serious testing that might show their competitors product in a bad light. It's an unspoken rule in business.

Skinnee will you submit the results to Page 1 of this thread or do you plan to create a new thread?

I'll link to it...

I was referencing the product to show it was a single pump top, not so much the curves, sorry for the confusion

of course, no problem

[slowfreight]

with Dynamic Head Pressure from the D5-S5 with EK V2 Top (Top Outlet) and the DDC3.2 with XSPC V3 top.

Based on the graph, I think the winner will come out of that middle four because turbulent flow and high velocity, or rather flow rate, improve the heat transfer rate. My 0.02

the color thong you are wearing?

the color thong you are wearing?

Or maybe the motor oil?

[Maxforces]

Any results??

So Koolance makes the best stuff?

[airwolves]

Well I couldnt wait got tired of sweating playing games. Got the DD-GTX480 Nickel Top and Base. Using a old Exos-al system with it so far Alot better than air cooled. Use to be 52c to 93c air cooled now i'm 38c to 54c.

Alot quiter and cooler so liquid cooling working better for me.

Cant wait to see the results to see if I spent my money wisely.

Used Ic Diamond as thermo paste. Anyone know if its non conductive?

Don't blame you! this is getting a litte long in the tooth, especially with summer in full effect i'd really like to know which block to buy. I understand Skinnee wants to be 100% comprehensive in results and uphold his reputation but some people dont need to know the finer details and just want to know which block to go for.

[UrbanSmooth]

(It's not grape drank, it's...drank...)

[airwolves]

Plus I was able to buy it before everyone else If it gets good ratings lol

Summer, is that what there are calling it everywhere else except for (western states) California as it's been overcast since spring!

That's precipitation from Lakers fans as they now see a Big Three in Miami.

[zeroibis]

Crap I was hoping the results would be in this weekend so I could get my card by Tuesday... well I guess I will just order everything else with slower shipping for tomorrow and then place this order as an overnight when the data comes in. I think I will probably get the evga block but I want to also see how it does with upgraded TM.

Lol, I will receive my EK FC480 GTX water block tomorrow, you can't go wrong with a brand like EK! I plan on buying the EK Supreme HF nickel + acrylic soon!
