Danger Den Radeon 9700 GPU block

superart · 12-02-2003, 09:33 AM

I am considering getting the Danger Den Radeon 9700 GPU block. My major concern with it is that the middle of the block, where I assume the highest temps would be, is not getting any water. Is this significant? Has anyone had any experience with this block?

Thanks.

I have one on my Geforce 4 ti4400 in my other system, no clue how temps are though as that card doesn't have any way to monitor temps and I never added a thermal probe to check it, if you're getting a new one though i'd recomend getting the maze 4 based GPU block, I have that on my FX 5900 ultra, those commonly run around 80-100C under load with the stock heatsink, I get around 30C under load with the maze 4 GPU block, price wise the maze 4 GPU is actualy cheaper than the old one too as it's on sale, at non sale price it is only $3 more.

Yea, I figured it would be. I'll probably go with a maze4 block. I plan on setting up a system some time this summer when I have the money.

I plan on making 1 circuit that has a Maze4 cpu block, 120cm radiator, and swiftech pump. Another circuit that has a 120cm radiator, maze4 gpu vlock, zchip northbridge block and swiftech pump. Both will be drawing from the same res. (the DD 5.25-bay-res with 2 sets of holes).
