Zalman WB3 Gold waterblock - thoughts on the design?
Hi,
You know about waterblockdesigns in here so I would like you to write your thoughts of the Zalman WB3 Gold waterblock.
The waterblock is interesting because of the base is circled and smaller than the heatspreader of a Pentium 4. The heatspreader of the Pentium 4 have a bad contact with the core compared to AMD so it's good to have a copperbase not covering the cornors of the heatspreader so it bends down and makes better contact to the core (wich is the reason of the socket 775 stockcooler design).
I found reviews of the waterblock, but that's of the entire Reserator kit and passive cooled results don't say much.
I attached pictures of the waterblock - it's the one on the right. The thread is 1/4" so it's easy to install 3/8" or 1/2" barbs.
