Well my maze 3-1 came today im happy with it. i dont know why everybodys complaining (just gotta wait a week or 2 to order a WB and then its revised) :P

exactly what my block looked like, just no pelt block.

i dont think anyone should worry about a "bad" block anymore. they are done and over with. you order a block now, you get a good one. that simple

Sherlock · 04-25-2002, 01:48 PM

Now that block looks like a nice piece of work. How's it performing?
BTW thanks for shipping that order pretty quick, much appreciated

.

Jason-Pro · 04-25-2002, 02:20 PM

i didnt get to use it yet really busy (R/C racing starts in a couple weeks trying to get everything ready and my car done !! )

but i might setup a test for it tonite and put my 226w pelt under it see how good it can cool it

hehe

my case isnt built yet so my watercooling aint in my pc !!

this is what my computer looks like now lol

Cyco-Dude · 04-25-2002, 03:21 PM

lol, looks like mine (all sprawled out across my desk and a chair)

Brad · 04-26-2002, 03:47 AM

so Jason, is there no cracks at all in it?

Jason-Pro · 04-26-2002, 01:01 PM

its clear as glass actually.

DigitalChaos · 04-26-2002, 02:44 PM

same here. no cracks at all, even after a decent ammount of tugging done to the barbs

UpAllNight · 04-26-2002, 02:58 PM

i have one crack goint to one of the button head screws holding the clear top on...but its small and its created by to much compression on the o-ring...that and its just to close to the edge...but mine doesnt leak at all and no cracks around the brabs either...been testing it for leaks for 3 days now...with a eheim 1250 pumping through it...mine is nice and flat on the bottom to total indcator reading of .001.......but as far as in the core contact area its not even out a .0001

dont get me wroung i dont like having a crack into one of my screws...but i dont see it causing a problem at all....but i may still get DD to send me a new top...but i believe if u tightin a new top down it will do the same thing again...unless u change the grove that the o-ring seats in

Jason-Pro · 04-26-2002, 04:06 PM

i noticed i could twist the barbs off.

That's a nice feature.

Jason-Pro · 04-27-2002, 05:24 PM

yeah i thought so to.

i think ill put dab of silicone or something on it.

Fixittt · 04-27-2002, 05:29 PM

t-tape amd screw the hose barbs in a full 2 rotations. or untill they just get snug. Not tight. Remember the hose barbs are tapered. If you screw them in to tight the force from the taper will crack the acrylic.

Jason-Pro · 04-27-2002, 05:35 PM

thanks fixittt i try that
