First off another big thanks to the sponsors because without them this never would have happened. If you like reviews like this make sure to support them so that they will support future reviews!
Performance PC's were generous enough to sponsor six blocks!
Results in Brief - far more info can be found on my website:
Average of all 5 MX-2 mounts
This data assumes all mounts are equally valid and that the average of all 5 is a good choice for performance metric:
Flow
Performance vs Pump Setting with Indigo Xtreme
Mount "goodness" (Delta between MX-2 and IX)
All Results at one pump speed:
Gold Award
The Koolance CPU-380 performed exceptionally besting every block on MX2 (nearly all of them by 1+C) while still being at the top of the heap with Indigo Xtreme. The quality and feel of the block is up to scratch too. Mount variability is good and the flow is decent too and I would heartily recommend it.
Silver Awards
The following blocks also performed very well and have their own niche uses:
- the Phobya UC1 performs very well and is also priced very well
– Swiftech Apogee HD because it performs very well and has a very nice mounting system
- MIPS IceForce performed very well and has very high flow
- the XSPC raystorm performs well and wins the value for money award!
- the Watercool Heatkiller performed very well with IX
Until Alphacool has fixed the single port threading issue I can not recommend the block!
