TDX or Swifty

ZENNZZO · 30-April-04, 12:44 PM

OK...
I got in a big 'ol head butt battle with a buddy of mine...
Got him all set up with a AMD-m Barton.
Got his H20 gear ready to order but we disagree on one thing...
The CPU block
He says he thinks the swifty looks pimp and I say it's butt ugly and the new TDX is the pimpest...
SO...it's a bet for dinner out w/ wardens,
and He agreed to let PR pimps and pimpettes decide the block...
So without further dodo...Please vote

A picture is worth a thousand words, need I say more.

AntiM · 30-April-04, 01:05 PM

This should be short and ugly.

psychofunk · 30-April-04, 01:05 PM

ROFL...actually that is 100% correct as it is a cheapy block for newb's.

$SOLID$ Necro · 30-April-04, 01:08 PM

My vote is for the RBX..but thats not an option!

Arkangyl · 30-April-04, 01:40 PM

If possible bette pics of the TDX block.

Honestly its hard to vote w/o seeing reviews of the Swifty, all I can really vote on is looks... and saying the swifty is pimp well, is he blind?

4rm4g3dd0n · 30-April-04, 01:57 PM

the swiffy looks mediocre at best, i love the acrylic tops on danger den blocks, they look so pimp with water flowing through them, my vote for the tdx for sure

Lunamods · 30-April-04, 02:05 PM

If you replace those fittings on the Swiffy with some nice ones,polish the copper,strip the hold down and polish it,remove the swiffy name on it,it would look pretty good then,in my opinion.

4rm4g3dd0n · 30-April-04, 02:06 PM

hmm ur prob right, if that entire thing was polished copper it could potentially look really pimp... and shiny

Lunamods · 30-April-04, 02:10 PM

I think the TDX would look better if it were turned up and down instead of sidways,with the outlet at the top. It would also help cover the ugly socket.

lAnonymousl · 30-April-04, 02:26 PM

Since it's similar to the RBX I'm guessing the TBX has the performance and it definetly has the looks, so I voted for it....but without any numbers behind either of them or a set price for the TBX there aren't many facts to base a vote on as of right now...

It's small footprint is minimal for sure but I'll bet the reasoning was to make the hose routing a bit simpler...
You'd either have the inlet between the outlet and N/B or the outlet too close to the N/B for hose routing...As the inlet has to be directly over the CPU...

TDX hands down. That Swifty makes me think of a gold Sarah Lee brownie.

Zykon · 30-April-04, 03:54 PM

anyone have a cross section of the swif? i wanna see the chamber. whats the proformance diff between rbx tdx? the rbx pwns asteticly thoguh

Arkangyl · 30-April-04, 04:55 PM

18-0

says something huh?

I know this belongs in the TDX thread but when is that bad boy: a: coming out? b: review?

Kage · 30-April-04, 05:28 PM

Ark- A) In due time... B) When Zenn posts it

Ok...I don't know, but somebody does [!]

With the TDX, I'd paint the underside of the acrylic where the block does not contact with either silver or copper paint depending on what version is being used.

Zykon- Go to http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw6000.asp and half way down they have a drawing of it. It's basically just a bunch of pins...not much to see

Zer0s · 28-September-04, 05:35 PM

28-2.
