Now that the bits and pieces are coming together for my blocks, I'll send one to BillA. Currently only two blocks of the final design parameters exist, one's with me, and one's with a very eager first customer who picked one up from me last night.
He just emailed me and said he was seeing around a 5C improvement over his old Silverprop Cyclone 5 when running Folding @ Home on a AthlonXP running at 1880MHz/2.0v, which is the sort of results I was seeing in my testing with the production block (and about 1C better than my prototype).
In my testing the Maze 3 (properly lapped and mounted) is almost inseparable from the Cyclone 5 (also properly lapped and mounted), and the Cyclone 3 which is a near Swiftech clone also performs about the same as the M3/C5.
So yeah, I'll send a complete final block to Bill within the next 7 days. I'm keen to see what he sees.
I know that for me that the thermal juction is now starting to become the predominant factor (barrier?) in improving performance further.
