Hard to beat the price/performance of the 6000 though - particularly if you're using a lower flow pump. Also really nice to have all-copper (no alu so maybe no galvanic issues - depending on the rest of your system, and no lucite to wonder about.
Then there's the whole issue of base flatness. I can't measure it - didn't even know how to read one of those inferometer-type images until you mentioned it was like a topo - but I know Swiftech can read 'em. I do know to look at the reflection of 1/8" graph paper and look for wiggles/imperfections - and don't see 'em on any of the Swiftech blocks I've bought over the years (erm... well except for one I put a gouge in myself - d'oh!).

I'm not suggesting that this was the most useless poll - although anything that asks for "best" without a lot of qualifiers might be a good candidate for my list. All you get back is opinions, based on other folks' parameters of what "best" might be. I can see relying on opinions in things like movie reviews (after a while you figure out which reviewers like the same things you do) but for waterblocks or pumps or tubing. Hmmm... I dunno. Especially my opinion about such things (I've never laid hands on a TDX or a polarflo, for instance).
Ask me about movies, though
Way to many words for such a simple question. My answer to unregistered's question? Not much.


I would go with the 6000 or 6002 though. To good of a block especially being the price.
