GPU Blocks, your thoughts?

2Busy · 11-22-2004, 10:12 PM

It appears if I wish to maintain an all out effort to keep all non copper products out of my loop, with the exception of pvc hose and barbs, I will need to go with one of the sliverprop gpu blocks. Or, is there another block out here that is all copper? I have tried to find comparisons of the Swifty GPU, the Maze 4 GPU, and the SilverProp as well, but have had no luck. Can someone point me to some comparisons on these, or give me first hand performance knowledge?

Thanks guys for a great site. Always a pleasure to lurk and rad here.

Scroll down for chipset/gpu wbs. Read the entire reviews though; I believe JoeC publishes some higher flow rate data in them if you dig around.

I have a Maze4 GPU in the mail and an MC50 and MC50T already. I was planning on doing a GPU wb comparison at some time in the near future. Where can one purchase the Silverprop GPU block?

www.criticool.com (Calgary) carries them.

2Busy · 11-23-2004, 05:50 PM

Also, frozenmods has them as well. Those are the only 2 places in North America that I am aware of.

Checked the link, and the Silverprops listed are the cpu and chipset blocks, not their gpu blocks, unless I missed something. Will check again. I would be greatly interested in your review of the gpu blocks mentioned thus far in this thread. I wonder why Swiftech or Danger Den do not market an all copper or copper/brass gpu block?

Last I looked this site had only the SL version of the Fusion.

I just ordered a silverprop HL fusion from criticool for this very reason. I dont see whats so hard about making a copper toped block, besides cost. I would think though that having to pay the extra cost of anodizing aluminum that the costs would be equal.

2Busy · 11-23-2004, 11:16 PM

Well, not only that. But irregardless of costs, if it is competitive and a performer, the wc community will buy it. I cant imagine it would be anything that made it cost prohibitive in the mfg process or the materila costs to switch the Maze 4 over. If only I had a bench top mill!

In GPU cooling, this very issue seems to be a recurring theme. Silverprop seemingly forever has held the copper loop retention GPU solution, and I wonder if any other players are making motions towards that direction. For instance if there were some cute wee MCW6002-GPU out there, I would most definately be finally won over and WC my GPU.

Bill? Any rumors from the interior?

flatline · 11-24-2004, 05:49 AM

has ne1 ever used a chipset block with 2 90 degree barbs on them?i was thinking about doing this with a maze 4 chipset block my ony other option is..

"Dimension (without connections): length 54 mm, width 54 mm, height 13 mm, dimension copper-cool-bodie: Length 40mm, width 40 mm, height 5 mm, weight approximately 135 grams"

but it looks like a flow killer to me :shrug: i wish there was more info on there site maybe if i run 2 paralel......

ne1 have this block? do u like it?

JWFokker · 11-24-2004, 10:00 PM

That looks like a miniature NexXxos block. Interesting. But yeah, it probably would kill your flow rates if it acts anything at all like it's larger brethren.

Cranky · 11-24-2004, 10:26 PM

i use a 6002 and a mcw50 and i love em both. great blox IMO....

Razor6 · 11-28-2004, 03:38 PM

Dangerden says a brass topped Maze4GPU is forthcoming.

id be all over a all copper tec -able gpu block like a fat kid on a smarty

if copper/brass is good enough there's a tec-able version of the fusion
http://www.coolpc.com.au/catalog/pro...roducts_id=477

before you freak out note that the prices are in aussie dollars (approx 1.27 to the US$..... ) and include GST so you should be able to get it about 9% cheaper for export....
review here if you want to see one ....
