Wich waterblock

gooFy · 03-27-2001, 02:40 PM

Hiya,

Well I just upgraded my system and now I need a new waterblock. My old one is a normal copper cross-drilled 2"x2". I have decided to get either the DD Maze2 or the OCWC Socket A Silver Polyblock.
Now the question is wich one of these can handle a Tbird 1200@1500+ and a 156W TEC?
My new radiator should have no problems handling alot of heat, it's a custom made heater core 150x150x42mm.

Currently the Maze 2 looks to be where its all at.

Do you know if DD makes custom changes to his blocks? I would like to be able to thighten the TEC between the block and the coldplate with the force it requires and only apply the minimal pressure on the core.

I like the looks of the OCWC silver polyblocks. The poly part of the block doesn't make it any worse than a solid metal one, in fact I believe that it might actually improve the performance of it becase, as the poly does not conduct heat/cold very well, the water flowing through it doesn't radiate its coldness off. The DD blocks are good, a friend of mine is using one and it works great, but I'm planning on using the OCWC silvers in my next project.
