Doesn't look like D-Tek has anything to worry about.

Takes a 600GPH pump to make this block work as well as a MC5002 with a much smaller pump?

But Player0 has it up there with the Cascade?

Yeah, scientific testing isn't needed. :rolleyes:

may not be the 'last word', some discussion on-going

Discussion on? :shrug:

I wish Joe would have tested out all of the nozzles and with the same pump in all cases. His 1.0GPM starting flow point is in a spot where most waterblock C/W curves are in their "knee" and so a small difference in final flow rate can have a fairly big impact on the C/W. If the RBX only moved say 0.6-0.7 GPM with with the 1048 then it might perform a lot worse.

Player0 used the insocket thermistor from an abit motherboard for CPU temps. Temperature compression is not just something I complain about to be a dick...

And keep in mind JoeC tested with the LEAST restrictive inlet insert!

FWIW I have one of the RBXs being sent to me from Cooltechnica today, and nikhsub1 has offered to send a Cascade, an original LRWW, and a DTek WW for as long as I need to test. I calibrated CPU last night and will finish plumbing the test loop and mount the Swiftech MC5000A tonight so that I can start testing it tomorrow. So look for activity to increase around this site a fair amount.

Oh and I went back on coffee since I am staying up all night running tests for you guys. My prostrate says hi!

pH, very glad to see you are going to test the RBX.

JoeC's data is better than others, but I'll trust yours more.

Will you test all 4 blocks?

Will be testing all these blocks and more. I will post one review a week as that gives me a "5 days on; 2 days off" cycle for reviews and 5 reps per block.

The C/W on all 4 of those blocks on the above link on overclockers.com were lower than the Bill test of the WW shown on the site. What's up with that?

Do we have to go over this again? Did JoeC use Bills test bench? No... So the numbers are not going to be the same.

You can search on why as it has been covered many times already.

Needless to say I appreciate it, and all the other stuff you have been doing lately. I would have given up on ProCooling a long time ago if it wasn't for your work. Tired of all these wannabe tech sites more interested in quantity than quality.

pHaestus, Danny is sending me a D-Tek WW today so I should have it Friday (28th) and I will be sending you all 3 blocks Monday (1st).

WOOHOO!
Rock it on!

I will check this often to see whats going on, finally we will all know who's the best WB!
