GlitterKill · 16-May-04, 11:23 AM

ZENNZZO has a quick and dirty article up on the performance of the new DangerDen waterblock, the TDX, in both the regular version as well as the new pimpin silver version.

Check it out here.

Nice work Zennzzo. Those are some nice graphs.

Excellent work Zennbro. I'm not so surprised the RBX did so well. It's a sweet block too. Damn I want one of those silver TDXs now! Well, just have to settle for copper I guess

Man, that silver baby is pimpin'! I've seen stainless steel, copper, gold, now silver. I guess Platinum is next.

Maybe I'll have to give a silver waterblock to the frau for our anniversery.

That sounds like an excellent anniversery gift...
I just wonder if the ladies will feel the same way...

The guys at the Den are going to make the S-TDX available

Wow those are pretty low temps! Is it that cold in WA or are you using a chiller or something? 5C ambient....that'll make for some high overclocks....and perky nipples.

GJ.

All temps listed are tDelta using the AntiM/AMD formula...

Duh... I just thought of that while I was in the shower.

Pass me the noob hat.

At least I rule the stock idle temps.

......Which I find kinda weird because logic would dictate that as more heat is added under the same conditions, the temperature gap between the blocks would only widen.

P.S>I like the champagne glass idea. Way to keep the PR soul there.

As already stated, great review and I gotta agree.... those graphs are Pimp!

Nice review there Zenn. Looks like Danger Den has another winner on their hands.

FeRaL · 17-May-04, 01:00 PM

I really can't say anything that already hasn't been said about it. Great job on the review Bro! Looking foreward to more goodness from you in the futute!

Joose · 17-May-04, 01:47 PM

Excellent review there ZENNZZO! Thorough and controlled. Anything you didn't like about the new TDX blocks? Those graphs are great....

afrost · 17-May-04, 04:31 PM

Were you using the same nozzle in the RBX as in the TDX blocks? The number four plate is the one that reduces the stock slit by 20% right? Have you ever tried the one with the jet pattern (number 5)?

All tests were done with the #4 nozzle. S-TDX, TDX and RBX and they all are fitted with the hi-flow barbs too.
Yes I have fitted the #5 spray bar and it doesn't perform in my system as well as the #4 nozzle.
I do have a 3/4" Lainge 12vt pump comming via ROKK and with the increase in head pressure there might be a difference. I'll update when I get those results.

Hey Zenn, do you know what slit comes stock? I'm not sure what's on mine, as I didn't dare take it apart. I just stared at it lovingly until I put it in.
