Jeese. I don't know hom many months it has been since I have been waiting on the water block round up to be posted. I under stand Joe is very busy with trying to get his life in order, so am I. Anyways i've just about waited as long as I can. Depending on what you guys say is what i'm going to get. What is the best performing water-block you have used/tested. Thanks to all who reply.

You can't go wrong w/ the maze blocks @ Dangerden. Chip is cooking up some nice new stuff too @ Overclock-Watercool. The spiral blocks are said to be nice as well. I think you can search for this topic and it has been talked about a lot. Most of the mainstream blocks are good now. The swiftechs are nice, but expensive. Avoid overclockershideout.

nice. i agree.

yeah, maze2, spiral, even sidewinder 1/2" from www.dtekcustoms.com performed good according to pHaestus, who i think posts here. also, danny over at dtek is getting in new sidewinders, might wanna drop him an email if you are interested in the new blocks.

i also read a swiftech review somewhere (can't remember where though) and it performed really good.

The Innovatek Rev 3 made 1st place. It performs about 5°C better than the Maze 2 from Dangerden. It has alot of surface area inside, unlike the retail waterblock available in the US. But www.highspeedpc.com happens to sell this block! I think I will be getting one in the future.

5c? that is quite large. i don't see how that can happen as a lot of people get their maze2 temps down to right around ambient (a bit more). i am not calling you a liar or anything, but 5c is humongous, especially on top of the maze2, which is good.

one last thing, which one is the block you are talking about on highspeedpc? one looks too small for me to feel comfortable, the other looks to expensive.

yeah, it is kinda expensive. I got mine in the mail today. The clip is very nice for not using the 4 bolts. I might be a while before I have it setup. It should do quite well with my Black Ice 2 and eheim.
