do maze4s suck that bad

[ralf_c]

i have been doing some research through many forums and there seem to a constituent group of folk who ardently believe the maze4 can't beat the maze3. it should be apparent even to the dumbest fool that maze4s are cheaper to make but that alone shouldn't account for the lack of performance. can some one point to some hard evidence on this maze4 thing.

Pureoc review "And once again the Maze 4 block comes out on top and this time it's not by a small margin but by a farly big one, the Maze 4 is 3,7C better then the Maze 3 which is a noticable difference. Just like I thought the Maze 4 design is good when using a peltier but is it any good under normal usage?"

"Using the Maze 2 I wasn't able to get the computer to run stable at the overclocked speed so I wasn't able to get any temps, however I was able to get the temps from the Maze 3 and Maze 4 and I am slightly surprised by the results. Our testing has showed that the Maze 4 is quite superior over the Maze 3, a 2.5C improvement is quite much I have to say."

for every review out there that says its better, how come I find one that says the results favor the maze 3? Get the total picture. If you have a maze3, replacing it with a maze 4 seems to be wishful thinking. Just consider them 'interchangeable'. Thats the best advice I can think of.
