You should get yourself a DD block

mlee49 · Jul 24, 2010, 03:03 AM

Hows the flow? I've heard they are good. Couple reviews confirm.

Cold Storm · Jul 24, 2010, 03:05 AM

I will say. DD made a great product in their Nvidia card blocks.. It's a fight between them and bits on me.. Bits only due to the bling factor..

mlee49 · Jul 24, 2010, 03:06 AM

Yeah I have to agree:

sneekypeet · Jul 24, 2010, 03:07 AM

There isnt really anything to really restrict the flow. It makes a gentle bend with IIRC 9-10 raised transfer grooves. Look in my specs, I got that all on one 655 and I dont have flow issues

mlee49 · Jul 24, 2010, 03:10 AM

Peet, does your res show flow? I mean can you see a generous amount of water flowing?

I tested the pumps solo(no rad), with 1 rad, w/2 rads(and 90º fittings); all had very good flow rates until I hooked up these blocks.

Too bad these blocks are 2x the price of the MCW80's.

I did test the single gpu and it was still pretty crappy imo.

sneekypeet · Jul 24, 2010, 03:12 AM

well when I bled the loop I could "see" the flow of mini bubbles. From what I could see from the bubbles this thing is really moving the water. I will say when I pull the cap on the res, with the pump on #5 it tries to blast out of the POM80.

But, that and the DD is getting me thinking..

Why is it that lately there are so many users with that Corsair WC system - it seems like every day I see a rig with one inside?

Love that sticker e!

As for the corsair.. after seeing that it's on the revision 3ish.. I really don't feel that it's worth the time.. For most it would be, but to me.. If you got to do a revision on a product that much in the start.. Blah..

Revision

Is due to different Sockets coming out.

1156 came out late dude and it didnt have lga 1366 support automaticly i belive

its still the same pump and rad design

just diffrent socket adapters included.

it started with both 775 and 1366, making amd users have to pay another $5 to get a bracket for themselves.
Thus the revision when the 1156 came out. Allowing all users the ability to get their brackets without paying the "shipping" fee's that corsair was making people pay on their "free" product.

Revision was only done because they where tired of people complaining that for a "free" product they had to "pay" for it.

Yes, it is the same design. Just that some places want to throw the "revision" out there to get people to "think" that they are getting the "best" thing.

Sock in my mouth then.. For thinking the revisions where due to spotty ship..

In my case it's honestly the best w/c available in South Africa. The other options ar Zalman and Thermalright.

And yes, just wanted an excuse to do post 1000.
