SAVE me from my Z4 madness

WireX · 04-02-2002, 08:27 PM

Ok, I bought a Z4 kit, the block sucks nuts, we all agree, now to the actuall topic.

I want to know if their is any good water block suppliers in Canada. Or if their is anyone who is comming to winnipeg, who would like to buy a block for me, and take an old z4 (with 1/4 fittings) as a partial exchange (crappy ass dollar).

Looking at my temps, I finally realises they suck! alot.
I do have to say, I like the Z4 res, its cool.

So what kind of temps are you getting, and what's your water temp? I think all the block companies will ship to Canada ( write them and ask). However, maybe your radiator is contributing more to the poor performance.

Good luck!

Been there done that. If I make it any better they will just steal the design again!!!

I was very tempted to makeup a bunch of Z4 knockoff's and sell them for $20 when the took the first one. But then I would be just as bad as them!!!

aww i wanted to c a z4 that works...it has potential....if i had access to a cnc i would buy it from ya...somebody wanna donate a desktop cnc

to add to your sig, shipping it off to jaydee would be an idea, but putting explosive charges into it is even better

DDen ships to everywhere, I realise what currency is like, NZ$1 = US$2.5, but they won't be much more expensive than a local Canadian place, eh?

The Z4 res does look cool, but the 500gph bilge pump in it will have no warrenty if you run it with water wetter, and it will most likely die within 2 months anyway

Z4 is crap

Haven't you checked out the forum before you buy that thing? Well the looks could kill, I know

I bought their AL res when I first started aquacooling with that united 150 submers pump... so i know...
But I don't know why, Brad loves OCershideout guys

anyways also check out cooltechnica.com ... They are my favorite...

just remember that steve has been paid to say that he has used damn near every "complete" cooling set up out there, and this is the one he's choosen to run on his rig. Good stuff, check it out.

WOW

Thanks guys, I found that their is two distributers of water blocks from dangerden in canada. So I will wait untill they stock up The maze 3's and prolly get one (pending your guys testing).

As for not seeing the results here, long story short, I had never heard of you guys untill that lil thingy on the hardforum (it might have done you more good than harm

)
