Come on over and test em while I am at work for me please!

.... my work doesnt like me setting up stuff that looks like a meth lab on my desk. and also my cooling system has been taken apart and is in boxes already for when I move.

Gladly!!!

After all, I am a high school studend that has a LOT of free time. I love Senioridous!
But there is that onelittle detail... you live in Waukesha, WI, and I live in suwanee, GA.

Too bad I don't have the handy-dandy testing setup that you have, or I'd be more than willing to test them.

(I currently don't have a real PC but this summer I'll have the best one 5K can buy! (graduation gift and I'm chippin in about 2.5K if I have/want to)

now if you ship the cooling setup....:

Mankul · 03-23-2002, 12:02 PM

Brad, can you suggest to DDen to make the maze 3 deeper? ... I mean with taller height? so that the water channel can take in more volume. Something like Spir@l.... deep channels...

I think this is the only drawback of maze3.... shallow channels...

Thanks!

Jason-Pro · 03-23-2002, 01:32 PM

lol ive got some left over 5% limo black tint and some Anodized screws for my RC car maybe ill turn my maze 3 into a type R :P rofl

Techguy tell Dtek to get my hd block out rofl

Brad · 03-23-2002, 01:34 PM

hehe ok, I'll go tell DDen they need to make it thicker. I think it is 1/2" now, would 5/8" be good?

jaydee · 03-23-2002, 01:56 PM

Maybe we should see some results before we speculate drawbacks?

EMC2 · 03-23-2002, 02:42 PM

Brad - any idea what the thickness of the base is? (below the channels)

No kidding.. These guys make waterblocks for a living, I'd bet the farm that they tested several designs before coming up with this one. Besides, in a fat passage, the water in the middle isn't doing jack. Need proof? Remember my old NanoBlock? anyways.. Trust the experts, and WAIT FOR THE NUMBERS..

Sheesh, everyone thinks they know best.. hehe.. end rant..

Brad · 03-24-2002, 04:37 AM

I have no idea about the thickness of the base, but yes i do think unal has the right idea, lets wait a bit

Triton · 03-25-2002, 12:04 AM

All these cool blocks are out now that my system is done!

A casemodder's machine is never a done deal, it's always a work in progress.. At least that's been my experience..

LOL exactly!

i have had so many overhauls to my box, im not even investing in the hardware, just the case and water cooling!!

oh well, looks like it time to just sell it all and start from scratch again, only way to REALLY move foward.

this maze-3 looks pretty damn nice.

ondaedg · 03-27-2002, 02:29 AM

now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time I ever finished something and used it for more than a month without changing it all over again...... That's terrible!

:P

Aristotle · 03-27-2002, 03:35 PM

These look amazing. I really can't wait to see some hard numbers for them.

You know, as a newbie to the whole watercooled scene, I've noticed that their are a few companies that generally produce waterblocks that look really professional and slick but seem to fair very poorly in actual performance tests. On the other side of the equation, the blocks that seem to always perform amazingly have always looked a little plain to me. With the performance history of the maze waterblocks and this new design; it would appear that observation may no longer hold true. A slick looking block that performs well? You know I'll be buying a pair of these.

Now my only dillema is whether to dye my water. I had planned to do the cool glowing water thing, but I'm not sure I'd want to cover up the pretty design in the channel.

zoson · 03-27-2002, 09:11 PM

interesting... i want to see some #'s from someone i know i can trust to do a good test.

Jason-Pro · 03-27-2002, 09:16 PM

that would be joe ! but hes a busy busy man

Brad · 03-28-2002, 01:26 AM

the spiral looks good, and cools really well too, but most other blocks designed for looks suck quite badly performance wise.

RickCain · 03-28-2002, 11:03 AM

I emailed DD to inquire about pre-orders and they say that we can order early next week. I hope these perform half as good as it looks!

Fixittt · 03-28-2002, 10:43 PM

ok, so I think that my block looks great, so that means it must preform like...... SNIFF SNIFF

naw...
I've not heard any complaints about the spir@l from the ppls that have one. But the spir@l 2's looking like it's gonna have some tough competition.
