New Maze 2 "Upgrade"

GuyBFF · 07-24-2001, 08:11 PM

I just saw an artice on www.HighVoltagePC.com that showed two different DD Maze 2 Blocks. I've been told they're sending the new block when you order 1/2" or if you specify you want your 3/8 "upgraded" at no extra cost.

My block has the inlet fitting ofset a bit, can I assume this is the new design (it flows VERY well). I have no way of peering inside

.

Has anyone seen a comparison between the two?

For those that can't get to HighVoltagePC (there always down) the new block starts in the center and just coils around to the outlet (unlike the virtual maze of the old block).

I can't get that link to load, but I just recieved my Maze2 today. It does indeed look offset, but as best as I can tell the old Maze2's were as well.

Damn I'm going to be pissed if my new 1/2inch Maze2 is the old one.

I even tried a flashlight and a piece of wire... I think I'm going to write Danger Den... but it sure looks more ofset than the old maze. This one seems to have the inlet almost past the middle, the old one looks nearly centered.

Don't no, looks offset a little as well.

Make sure to post if you figure out for sure.

Hey my site is not always down! im getting some hosting from a friend,so i have to limit what i post and some of the link's may be down some times but not always

,looks like the link work's fine in your post hmmm,
second obviously the fittings are offset on the new block its called "direct core cooling",the block's are the same design with some high performance variation's added to them,water come's in over the core and goes out after its channeled through the rest of the block with the maze2.2 it gets channeled through about 20 90 degree bends versus the new maze 2.2"upgrade" which uses about 14- 45 degree bends to remove the heats energy from the water....i hope to have an comparison article up soon ,just waiting to here back from te awesome guy's at dangerden,again sorry my site is down alot,ill work harder to improve that,have a good day guy....dave www.highvoltagepc.com

I didn't want it to sound like a rant. I love your site, and it's the only one which has posted any information on the two blocks (and sounds now like the only one to be doing a review, we're waiting!

).

I have only once been able to access this treat unfortunately, so I'm waiting patiently!
