Waterblock question

ferm · 08-17-2004, 06:09 PM

Im looking for a better waterblock for my A64 to replace my waterchill antarctica
I thinking for a DD RBX or TDX. Is there a reason to replace mine except the 1/2 fittings with one of those and if yes with witch one ?

You won't find a major increase in performance. The only real difference is that the Antarctica has push fittings and the TDX and RBX use barbs.

TDX u dont have to deal w/ the 3 barbs and "wye" adapter so thats a plus.

yeah, get a bigger radiator first. Much bigger difference there.

Biger than 120 mm DUAL Black Ice Pro II ?

can-do of course
or maybe add another radiator side by side to it and run four very silent fans :shrug:

in any case, not much diff between the antartica or the RBX/TDX, so personally I say its not quite worth the trouble- perhaps a new pump?

if you do want some great waterblock goodness, try waiting for Cathar's new block, the G4

Is it worth to put four 120mm silenx fans on the radiator ? Two to blow air and on the other side tow oposite
