[Review] Round 2: Swiftech Apogee XT Tested

[nutcase]

This wasn't a Sandy Bridge test

There hasn't been any CPU block testing on sandy bridge that I know of, so we really don't know what the heat signature is like in SB and it may very well behave differently.

Also you can't compare different processors. You could have a hot 2500K, etc...too many variables.

This block was also on an i7-860 cpu. But I did not have the new bracket to try the GTZ on it. I threw them out because of this.

just want to figure out the problem with it and it appears to be a flow problem. i would like to start using the block again as my i7-860 is just sitting in a box doing nothing. (and I hate idle computers)

5-10C is because I run Distributed computing projects. The load does not stay constant on these depending on what the app is doing.

I want to get it up and running because i love swiftech's mounting system. one if the best on the market!

Ahh...I got ya..

I totally agree on the mounting mechanism. After using one, I almost feel like I'm taking a step back in time using loose thumbnuts and oh crap springs that go flying everywhere...

I'm still trying to decide if I'll use my old Supreme V1 vs. some newer block when I upgrade over the next month. I like the low restriction/performance of the new HF, but I really like the swiftech CPU mounting system by far.
