Swedish review of the new wb from asetek

Compared to the old design.

hmm....

Hmm, another WW clone... But with tiny barbs.

I am building a WW clone for a friend of mine out of a 1U skivved copper heatsink and some leftover UHMW polyproplyene. Should look pretty pimp.

Yep, Swedish might be a bit tricky unless it´s Your native tounge.
Is it just me being suspicious or does the Antarctica look like a WhiteWater ripoff?
Its good performance just proves Cathars skill in wb design once more.

I recall a proliferation of Maze/spiral blocks a couple of years ago. No patents mean that a good idea spreads rapidly to all.

I wish more people would "clone" morphling's method of merging the 2 outlet design back to one though; not a huge fan of the 3 barb designs. I guess silverprop did take that design advance into consideration though in their WWesque block...

On that design, you could remove one of the barbs on the block because there is a deep channel on each side of the fins. Water would simply wheel around and go to the sides of the fins and into the exit barb. I think it looks nice, but small barbs = small flow =

Oh well.

I think the barb looks cool. low profile as hell.

pH: take a look at this design, might suit you better: http://www.watercoolplanet.de/index....genum=1&show=7

ordinarily you could just swap them out, but it looks as if you'd also have to bore out the top on this one...

ChrioN · 02-26-2004, 12:11 PM

strange barbs indeed...

#Rotor · 02-26-2004, 12:41 PM

whoooohoooo at last.... Somebody copies something that I got the blame for.

I'm the first guilty one for the hole spacings on a universal block.

It's mine and now They stole it.... Damn that feels good......

ChrioN · 02-27-2004, 09:05 AM

#Rotor I can imagine how you feel lol

Groth · 02-27-2004, 09:52 AM

Your universal mounting is much better #rotor. What are you supposed to do with the Asetek blocks if the P4 and Operton mount points take up more room than you have around your Socket-A?

BaThMaN · 02-27-2004, 10:02 AM

#Rotor,
forgive me sir... but i find myself guilty of copying your design... both pin-fin blocks and Universal mounting... however, i did add a little twist

here's our own version:

(a friend did it with a pair of hand and a dremel)
