NEW cpu water block roundup

[BAM!]

here is a review of some of the latest CPU block market. they rounded it up and gave it a performance test. the test seems pretty rigorous and specific. a good read for those venturing into water cooling, or looking into switching blocks. if all you care about is performance numbers, skip to the results page.

are 'overdesigned' lol. Should you encounter rust, that waterblocks would prove to be a b*tch to clean the rust off :eek:

And i'm actually more suprised to see the minimal differences between the waterblocks. 1-2 degrees at most. This enforced my belief that radiators would be the deciding factor in determining how good the watercooling system disperse the heat.

Funny thing? D-Tek Fusion had the worse-polished surface on that roundup, and yet managed to be the best-performing watercooling blocks :D

Seems like a really dated article but it's not...
They are missing the Swiftech Apogee GTZ, OCZ HydroFlow, D-TEK FuZion v2.

This is the best site for waterblock reviews IMO: http://www.martinsliquidlab.com/
