Okay folks. I am getting ready to do my final build of the Megadeth case, as soon as those damn X38 boards ship. When I started planning this the Swiftech Storm was the top dog water block and I bought one. Then they released the Apogee and Apogee GTX. Of course the other players in water cooling have not stood still in that time either. So I ask this, of my fellow PCApex Water Cooling aficionados...
Which is the best block for Socket775 applications, and why?
Now, I know that is a loaded question and does not include enough details, so here is what the rest of the setup will have:
- Danger Den Laing D4 12v pump
- EK 8800GTX
GPU Block
- Danger Den Stealth GT360 Rad
- Swiftech MicroRes
- Primochill Red 3/8ID tubing
- all 1/2ID barbs on blocks
- possibly a chipset cooler or even (if Asus release and X38 version) the Asus "Blitz" edition chipset water cooling setup.
I have (sitting on my desk) the following
CPU blocks...
- Swiftech Storm
- PolarFLO TT (Chrome)
- Danger Den TDX (just need to get a new top if I decide to use it)
and I am willing to purchase a new block if it makes sense (ie: performs considerably better than any of those).
Thanks!
