That is one sweet waterblock!





and a little preview of the upcomming chipset/vga blocks:

certainly very nice machining!

If you look at the inside of the CPU block, that has to work great! if you want a bigger picture visit the link it's on the 3rd page I THINK.

basis for your statement?

facts/theory?

The way it splits up the water instead of having just a flat surface with pins on it where it gets thrown onto. That was an opinion btw.

[greenman100]

then please don't state it as a fact....statements like yours are a big part of the misinformation in watercooling.

I am not trying to be mean or rain on your parade, only get the facts straight

"If you look at the inside of the CPU block, that has to work great!"

I did not mean this as a fact, I thought this was the sentence structure of an opinion, if not sorry.

Well, the insides don't look too great. Yes it is nice machining, but on the inside, is that a good thing? 0.00009" finish just says to me that less turbulence will be created than a poor internal finish.

Will any decent reviews be done of this or do we know?

Then I would have said, "I think that the structure of the CPU block should yield high performance because of the increased water turbulence." or whatever.

In keeping with Phaestus's requests to not tear the review to shreds, I'll just state that I eagerly look forwards to a more properly conducted test.

Regarding the inner structure - I have my own views - but I won't stand on a box and make any declarations.

Interesting. Wonder how it is sealed? Just pressure from the mounting hardware? Very nice machine work. Looks like a Ben's Radius wannabe to me. I kinds doubt it will perform on par with anything MCW6000ish or better. Just my opinion. Been known to be wrong though.

Q: How did you come up with the name of the new series of blocks, TT?

We heard (actually read) the term "triple titter" used often to describe the style of liquid heat sink we and others manufacture. Why try and come up with a better name? The consumers have spoken!

lol

not to mention the similarities to "radius"......

PolarFLO must lurk around this place often

too bad they don't post, suppose it's bad press to be assosiated with a bunch of jerks like you guys

edit:
I like the screw-cap design, nifty, dunno practical purpose, but novel nonetheless

I believe an O-ring.

I get it. snowie and your input answered it. I didn't see the threads on the throat of that block. That is actually pretty badass.
