Default PolarFlow, Comserver and Zalman

Which is the best?
How is the PolarFlow? Are there pictures from inside?

The polarflow was reviewed by Bill, here:

I think most of us are done laughing at the ComServer, but I could be wrong

The Innovatech is actually a top choice here. The Maze 4 would also probably serve you very well.

Hmm...

I'd have to say the PolarFlow is one of the worst blocks Bill has tested.

coolpire.at,

Why are you asking for the best of those three blocks? There are much better blocks out there.

To the best of my knowledge (definitely limited) these four blocks are the best you can buy.

1 Little River Cascade
2 Little River White Water (DTek)
3 Be Cooling Slit Edge
4 Swiftech MCW5000

It is quite possible that there are other blocks that fall within the performance range that these cover, but I'm not aware of them being available for sale.

D-TEK manufacturers the White Water block, and sells through distributors.

Cathar (forum name) manufactures the Cascade. You can send him a PM.

If you are a reseller then get lead times and reliability numbers from the mfgrs. Nothing worse than having a webstore with all your blocks on backorder.

interesting, didn't know Zalman has gotten into waterblocks!

Still can't figure out why all the Korean waterblock manufacturers stick to 3/8"OD fittings (e.g. maxxpert, crossover and now zalman)
