The WEI HI-END Pure Copper 1/2" Water-Block is our new advanced water block, I have disappeared for a long period to prepare this test because the procooling still have not accepeted our apply, so I decided to do it by myself.

The base is 5n 99% pure oxygen free copper polished to mirror finish manually with 155 copper pins, and the copper imports from Germany. The base, housing and barbs soldered together. 1/2" barbs, compatible with socket 478, socket 775, socket 603-604, socket 462, socket 754, socket 939, socket 940.

here are some pictures

test system:

water-block: WEI HI-END Pure Copper 1/2" Water-Block
Swiftech STORM Extreme Performance Universal Water-block
Processor: Intel P4 540E LGA75 @3.2G 1.39V
Motherboards: ASUS P5P800
Video Card: GF6600GT
Memory: 512mb*2
Power Supply: blue storm 500w
Operating System: WIN XP SP2
pump: Swiftech MCP655
Radiator: custom-made 4*12CM fan radiator
thermometers: Aerocool Gatewatch
Coolant: 30L water

Testing Methods:

1.clean the blocks with Brasso metal polish
2.OCCT is run at high priority, the inlet water and cpu temperatures are recorded at 30 second intervals for 10 minutes. The MCP655's flow rate is 5. (I dont have a flowmeter, so i use MCP655 to control the flow rate)
3.run occt at high priority for abot 30 minutes, change the MCP655's flowrate from 1 to 5 and record the inlet water and cpu temperatures at 5 minutes intervals
4.mount another block, allow the system to cool down for 30 minute and get another 30L water.
5.repeat method 1-3.

(all tempratures are monitored by Aerocool Gatewatch not software)

firstly is the G4

the test started at 19.2 C ambient temprature, the inlet water was 17.4 C and the initial cup temprature was 20.6 C.

this figure refers to method 2, the G4 is doing a amazing job on my system as well

and this one is the relationship between waterblock performance and flow rate

g41 g42 g43 g44

now it is our WEI

started at 19.4 C ambient temprature, the inlet water was 17.6 C and the initial cup temprature was 20.3 C.

from these figures, these two blocks' performance are very close, so we need some comparisons

wei1 wei2 wei3 wei4 wei5

from these two figures, we can find the data are very similar and close, but WEI is just a little bit better than G4.

from this figure, it shows that the WEI is very stable, although the flowrate level is 1, it still keeps the cpu at a relatively low temprature and the delta T does not change a lot as well. However, the performance of G4 affected by flowrate a lot, the difference between the highest and lowest temprature is 2.3 C and the delta T increases with flowrate obviously.

in conclusion, from my personal test, our WEI block is at the same level as G4, and just a little bit better than G4 under 1200 LPH water flow, but from the last figure, we can imagine if with a much higer flowrate, the result could be different. In short,the WEI is suitable for most kinds of pump, the G4 is only for those high performance pump, so who is the big winner? :shrug:
