Hi , i have been looking around and in the past had virtually all the Swiftech cpu waterblocks that have been available , the apogee, storm, appogee GT and now the GTX all have been good but i want to buy the best i can , so does anyone recommend a really goog block for Quad cooling , thanks

Yeah i hear its a good block , but is there any test comparing it to any others

For quad cores, the Fuzion is about the best there is. It is also very un-restrictive so if you are thinking of putting other items on your loop its a good choice!

Fuzion + Nozzle kit > *

Thanks for the links , the second link didnt seem to work for me though, the first one the swiftech and the d-tek are similar , one better for restrictive loops which mine is at the moment on the maximus board and the swiftech better on higher flow loops so i guess the Fuzion would be better in my case.
@ cob what does the barb flow kit do, i guess it improves the flow but how?

The quad-core nozzle splits the jet into two so that it directly hits each die rather than just hitting the middle of the CPU.

Ah the second link worked now and it does show the Fuzion with better temps overall , so i think its the fuzion and jets , thanks

The jets are highly restricitive so be carefull if you intend using them on a multiblock loop.

Thanks for the replies , i am going to give my GTX one last go with the extra o ring in to make it bowed and see if it does anything for me before i shell out the cash , as with jets postage ect its not far off £50

From what I have read the GTX should perform better than a D-tek if you use the bowed configuration (thicker o-ring).

Thanks for that , i will give it a go
