Hi, I'm new or you can say not even in to water cooling yet...

Well I'm planning to get a set of water cooling and couldn't make a decision on a waterblock.
The interior of the water block is as the picture I attach.

Could you pros give some comments on it? Thanks

Depends on the price they want for it. It's certainly not one of the best IMO

I would think a drilled channel block would perform better than that. As you would have more surface area overtop the cpu.

The channel looks quite narrow and restrictive...if the entire channel size was the size of the outside channel it would most likely be a decent performer.

if you have at you own disposition a drill press and some patience, you could make a much better block. find something here on the #rotor blocks. they are quite easy to do and good perform quite well. Then say thanks to Rotor

I was going to get this "kit" until I decided to go DIY for more performance headroom. I wasn't impressed with the tubing diameter. How would ya like a link?

Thanks for the link...

Since you all think that its not good, I think I may get myself a set of Maxxxpert Miro...

Fixittt · 05-07-2003, 03:04 PM

hey, that block.... well not "THAT" one.

lets just say, its a good perfoming block "www.dtekcustoms.com"

Trust me, I know. Now granted that spir@l design has been out for a few years, I would almost challenge you top find a better TEC block.

Ohh how I love the Spir@l Blocks!

Balinju · 05-07-2003, 03:28 PM

fixittt, i agree that maybe it is a good block for a tec, but is it a good one to be put directly on the cpu???

Fixittt · 05-07-2003, 04:16 PM

Now that one in the pic..... I coudnt tell ya.

Mine on the other hand..... its been directly on my core for 2 years now. I wouldnt change it for the world.

I get great performance from it. IMMOSTHO

Swiftech also makes affordable blocks. You could look into that.
