EK-Supreme CPU Acetal .. Arrived ..

I'm planning a wet weekend with a straight test between a FuZion (with and without Nozzles), an Apogee GTX, Cuplex Di (last place guaranteed) and the EK Supreme, all in the same rig with just the CPU in the loop.

Niiiiiice :D

Has anyone got one that used to have a fuzion so we can have a direct comparison?

No. I haven't even fitted the nozzles yet. As I say, the plan is to repeatedly build and strip one system running it with just deionised water for about 6 hours and log the average temperature over that time while running something like Prime. Obviously I cannot have all my machines offline indefinitely while I swap out the blocks (my F@H scores will plummet as it is) so I think 6 hours is about right. I have the huge advantage of having an air-conditioned home office that runs at a very stable 18C summer and winter with very low humidity.

My preferred test rig comprises;

Laing DDC2 with Alphacool top and reservoir
Thermochill PA120.3
Choice of CPU block
1/2" R3400 Tygon tubing

I like that option because there is little danger of damaging the motherboard while removing and refitting the tubing to the blocks.

I will use a mounting plate with all the blocks.

Does that seem reasonable?
 
The other option is to use a Lian Li G70 with a PA120.3 in the roof, but with a Laing D5 as that would allow me to vary the flow rate of water through the system, which might also very useful to know as the different blocks might respond better to different flow rates?

That sounds like quite a good idea.

just do whatever is easiest for you to swap out blocks, most ppl use laings so i think that would do just fine personally.

it's great that you have AC as ambient changes negate most tests in my eyes, especially when you're getting down to a few degress of difference with these top performing blocks.

Yes, it's a sliver of what appears to be aluminium plate (although it could be stainless) and it appears to have been either laser or plasma cut - mine is particularly rough at the point where the cuts were initiated.

That's going to make for some interesting reading. :D

That would be an excellent idea, WJA96. Different flow rates would be relative information as a comparison to the different types of pumps and flow rates presently used by the W/C's on the forum.

out of interest what will the controlled variable flow rates you will be testing at?

@ WJA96, what were your findings? ordering watercooling stuff on Friday, I have the whole setup finalised minus the CPU block. Split between the Fuzion & EK Supreme, need help to decide. (its my first proper water setup)
 
I'm working away at the moment, and I'm going to post the full findings on a specialist water-cooling forum tomorrow, but basically I got the following;

Best to worst

1st Equal

EK Supreme + Laing D5 on Max
AquaComputer Cuplex Di + Laing D5 on Max

2nd

EK Supreme + Laing D5 on Min

3rd Equal

D-Tek Fuzion with Quad Nozzle Kit + Laing D5 on Max
D-Tek Fuzion with Quad Nozzle Kit + Laing D5 on Min
AquaComputer Cuplex Di + Laing D5 on Min
Swiftech Apogee GTX + Laing D5 on Max

4th

Swiftech Apogee GTX + Laing D5 on Min
 
:) EK supreme it is then! Just have to wait til next year because buying toys for myself with Xmas coming up just aint right :p

Any chance you could add a XSPC X2O in the mix?
 
Nope. I've already got 3 more blocks than I need. If XSPC want to send me one, then I'll test it, but I'm not going to buy one just for test purposes. Sorry.
