New block from DD, TDX...

[Marquzz]

Anyone ever heard of this block before? A friend of mine who's running a computerstore got this yesterday

[Feiticeira]

They must be going for tiny block award or something, that looks pretty diddy. Be interesting to see a review soon. Definately looks like there not interested in catering for TEC's any more

I still have a DD maze 2.2 Running dual tecs.

Man these blocks are getting smaller and smaller

Why no A64 mount? Wtf?

hi mate,

would you be able to ask your mate to take a picture from above, just trying to see if it's using jet impingement like the Cascade or if it's using a small pin design.

Cheers

The TDX is basically a RBX with only 2x barbs, the channels are turned 90* and yes, the jets still there. I'm not sure yet if there is any performance gain over the RBX, basically its a new revision of the block that uses 2 barbs instead of 3.

Oh, and there will be full support for XP, P4 and A64 as far as I know.

Yeah now i see it, it looks like a RBX cut in half, only a bit more triangular. That its triangular is logical since the channels are turned 90 degrees, this'll improve the flow for the new design.

LOL the plexi-top is exactly the same shape as the rbx's. It seems a bit wider where the intake barbe is, the RBX is more square shaped.

It seems small maybe this one wont cover the entire heatspreader either, like the RBX on a P4. I hope it does cover the entire heatspreader cos it defitnetly looks better, in therms of cooling i dont think its matters(much anyway).

the fact that it supports A64 is merely logical, i would be stupid not to since that's a very popular platform/cpu

BTW is not on DD site yet, but i think it'll cool a little better cos the water is near the core\die longer, which is the main hotspot even with the heatspreaders.
