Otherwise the design looks like it would work, but it isn't anything special - If you believe their claims about "Incredible cooling performance! SECOND TO NONE!" I have this really nice bridge I'd like to sell you  It appears to be a basic dimpled base design that was good when it was first introduced but better designs have long since replaced it as performance king.
These guys make great fertilizer of the male bovine variety, which they have spread liberally through their add, but I wouldn't say the same for their blocks. |
You can use copper fittings too, anyway the problem REALLY isn't that bad unless you plan to use the block for 7 to 20 years. Plus you are using specialized water that has almost no salts in it, delaying it a bit more, so I could run this block for 8 to 12 years, but I wasn't reallly looking forward to that lol.
BTW I'm not looking for the performance, but according to all the reviews they are pretty much second to none atm...
I would be interested in what you made, just know I'm looking at this 3 block set, because it'll cost me 50 bucks
.
PS if you have any information showing the whitewater is better, or the swiftech, since that's pretty much my budget, here you go if you didn't see the gruntville review.
The 3 blocks... WhiteWater then PolarFlo and then the Swiftech block
