The Z4 has been revamped. Latest review at Overclockers.com has it outperforming the DDen Maze2. It runs head to head with the swiftech.

Why did you have so much trouble installing it? I used the nylon screws with no shim and everything was a piece of cake.

IM cooling GPU/CPU at 160X11 (xp1900) and full load temps are 37.

I am using the new Z4 block though and not the old one. The channel DO NOT overlap.. but lets think about this for a sec.

Where is the data that says thats a bad thing. Its an assumption. Hell the new Maze3 design in effect has overlapping channels. Laminar flow it DOES NOT promote.

I am not sure why your temps were so high. They were WAY too high. I cant get temps that high even trying. I think you had an outlyer.. A bad block.. That happens every now and then with anything.. (cars, memory) etc. I cant understand why you didnt try to contact the company.. (maybe you did, should have mentioned it.)

I think the latest Z4 block is a worthy block and the data that hoot published at overclockers.com is support for it.

Personally It works well enough for me not to make it worthwhile to go back to my old block (maze2) I get equivalent cooling. Why switch back.

Now, I need to add the delivery times ont he block were 4 weeks when they advertised 2. That was annoying.
