Personaly I'd go for the Maze3, they are pressure tested to 85psi. Swiftechs 'no leak'gaurentee is all well and good, most leaks are at the barb~hose connections. but their gaurentee ain't gonna help if its the rad barb that leaks!...

Dont forget swiftech use that funny tube connection that requires stiff tube. how does that sit with the rest of your system?. I think its 3/8 external as well. anyone know for sure?. that ain't gonna sit well with your DDGf4 block :shrug:

Two nice blocks: DangerDen Maze3, and Overclocked PC(OCPC)'s Atlantis. the Maze3 has a copper top for $5 extra, and the atlantis has an alu top as standard. though Lexan will only crack if you change barbs alot. it can discolour and mark easy thouh

...

Swiftechs perform well, but I'm not keen on the way they make it so's you have to use their components or hassle trying to fit others

(smacks of Microshaft to me

)

Swiftech makes a version of their blocks with 1/2"ID barbs now, too.

Yes, I was planning on going with the 1/2 version, but maddog, they require stiff tubeing? What's that all about?

I don't really know which block I'll go for. In 2 months all the blocks will probably be differnt, no? First I'm getting the Rad, pump, tubeing, fans, GF4 block, and then the CPU. I'll be lurking here looking for the best possible, but I still think it might be the Swiftech. I guess I jsut feel better buying from a company I've heard of beofre (how many of you had heard of DD before you started looking at wc?). I don't know. I apprechiate the note, though, if Swiftehch makes funny non standard blocks......

worth consideration.

Thanks!
