Certainly not performance orientated. One big channel around a lump of copper in the middle? And look at the base? More concerned about a polished finish as opposed to the more critical flatness. Chroming the base dosn't help either. The coolest part of the whole thing is that massive hold down clamp! Damned expensive for what it is. SHould be more around $35.00US. Hell the Maze 4 is more complicated to mill...
Oh yeah, their testing part is complete shit and should be ignored completely.

How did the OCLabs PlexyBlock B3 test? Simply put, very well. Using a system that was not specifically designed for it, the B3 was able to deliver very solid temperatures. At 2800 mhz the block kept our CPU at only four degrees above the ambient temperature and the total temperature delta was only seven degrees! So looking at it on its own, the B3 did very well and it is a formidable CPU cooler.

but the water ran in one end and came out the other without a hitch.
and it's really expensive. $66 for what probably preforms like a maze 4? |

Well the highly technical testing said the Swiftech 6000A beat it and that block is only $40.00US. Of course the testing is rediculous though. Would love to see pH run this block as it has nothing in the design to show it should perform good. I doubt it would even beat the Maze 4 but proper testing would prove me right or wrong. |

Apparently the reason the 6000A performs better is that their test system "was specifically designed to be used with the MCW6000 block." I guess it couldn't be that the block is a poor design, eh?
