There is info on our new waterblock (HydroFlow) HFMK1, the HydroJet (still under development) and the NIA. Flex 2 is also featured which is a new updated version of the watercooling flex module.
No word on Cryo-Z from Nate although I know our guys will be releasing info soon...I can not comment so its not worth asking
I had a hand in the design of the HFMK1 waterblock, if you have questions i can offer some answers. We have a first batch run which is very small, you will see reviews off this run and shipping product in a few weeks.

Some interesting stuff there but I have to question the dimensions of the FlexII water block. Granted, you will probably have 4GB kits but some motherboards (MSI if memory serves me correct) require you to install memory modules in slots directly adjacent to one another. This will mean that these new OCZ modules cannot be used.
In addition, the entire setup looks like it would add a fair amount of restriction to a WC loop. That being said, I am stil not entirely sold on the whole concept of water cooling ram modules....
The SSDs look great and it is good to see OCZ heading in that direction. Any clue about who manufacturers these for you? The markings look like Samsung to me....
Even though I have only just taken the plunge into water cooling, the one product that gets me the most excited is the water block.
the Flex is wide, if you have a mobo that needs side by side for dual channel then it won't work. Yes there will be 4GB kits both DR2 and DDR3 I believe.
Its best to have a second loop for the ram and chipset with a small single fan rad IMO, this way you maximize cooling to cpu and video where it is important.
SSD, no idea on oem, infact all I knew is they were coming.
HydroJet is same height but wider on this prototype, it will change again as it gets closer to final product.
Hydroflow is just the start, we have a VGA block in design now with prototyping coming very quickly, I hope then to push a universal chipset block out to market also.
Performance is very good, I won't give numbers as of course I could be seen to be biased but I will say it competes very well with everything out there In some cases better

for the Hydro-Jet, how is compability? i smell spacing issues with ram that has bigger than average heatspreaders on some mainboards where the ram slots are close to the cpu socket.
32GB Flash drives? me wants
Where is the Cryo-Z? (sorry, coudnt resist to ask, not really expecting an answer).
Yes it has a stepped base comes with 1/2 and 3/8 barbs. We are just finalizing mounting force specs but everything else is as you see.
you will get 2 back plates, one 775 only and one universal to keep the motherboard from bowing, the mounting hardware is fool proof so you don't apply to much pressure and the block will ship with our new Freeze thermal compund which is quite stunning. Hold down plates suit 775 and am2/939

tony always rocks my world when he posts replying to news releases with OCZ... always cool enough to give some info but not enough to send us all into a frenzy about this or that!

we love you tony! thanks
you are a volatile lot here on the news forum i want to feed you info and get some interest but I have to be cautious. I ONLY want to feed you info that is to the point, genuine and not vaporware...we have had way to many threads go sour due to none launch etc.
I will say we are going to attack the watercooling market head on, we have the expertise now to do it well with a good design team in Taiwan.

Any idea on the price-point for the SSDs? Lifetime warranty?
Just speculating but probably a lot 100MB writes and 120MB reads implies SLCs. Fastest writes for MLC IIRC is 40MB/s so far(rated). 2GB of SLC is $21.50
Tony...drool on the SSD's! I love the design for the casing and the performance looks like it will be great!
As for the waterblock, it's difficult to see the internals with the glare off the plexi top, but it looks like a diamond matrix, similar to an apogee perhaps? It almost looks like there are channels/walls going across the block to moved the water through like a hedge maze, or is that the glare deceiving me?
aww, you coulda attended XS's premier all nude overclocking event
Not this time, im concentrating on bringing product forward and helping a few reviewer friends who have posted some awesome articles of late on a major review site
