C2D waterblocks?

MikeHunt79 · 1 Jun 2007 at 13:55

Ok, I'm upgrading from a socket a, so I'm guessing I'm gonna need a new waterblock for a C2D.

Whats a good one to get? I'm using a ehiem 1250 pump along with a huge 500mm rad, and 1/2" fittings. My current block is a LRWW, but that ain't gonna work is it?

I'm gonna be overclocking a e4300, so what would be a good waterblock? I've seen the swiftech one that OCUk sell... what's this like? Are there any others that are similar/better?

D-tek fusion or apogee gtx.

Best on the market atm.

I think it goes something like this...

FuZion > Apogee GTX > Apogee GT > EK Wave

Damn, a FuZion went for quite cheap on the MM recently. Still, I'll keep an eye out for one.

Just out of interest, would these blocks also perform well on a quad if I every upgraded at a later time?

No reason why not, I think the FuZion is still the best though.

My Apogee GT is currently idling at 28/29c (e6300@ 2.8) with a 22c ambient using a single Black Ice GT rad, loads at about 33c playing games and 36-37c orthos (been on 24/7 for a week). So none of them are poor performers, got it for £15 off the MM too

think the apogee out perfonrms the fuzion in a single block system, multi block and fuzion will always win

im going for a fuzion anyways

FuZion it is then... I forgot to mention I'm already gonna be using a silverprop fusion thing to cool my x800.

I think I can get an adaptor for my LRWW tho, I've just discovered that it may work. This would tide me over until I get a FuZion.
