Fuzion GFX or Swiftech MCW60?

Cotti · 13 Jun 2007 at 13:34

Hi all Im having trouble finding a review of the Fuzion gfx block can anyone help me choose bettween the two?

I believe the fuzion is a impingment block which makes it quite restrictive Im running a Fuzion cpu block but Id probably be better off with the swiftech to keep my flow rates up if this is the case?

many thanks.

What card is it going on?

A 8800gts in a couple of weeks but for now my 6800gt.

Yes the Fuzion is more restrictive then the swiftech MCW60 waterblock...
But both of these waterblocks are meant to give you about the same temps..

I think Ill probably go with the Swifty then as it seems more suited to my loop and the current trend for free flowing loops. Just seems odd Dtek designed the Fuzion cpu block to be a free flow then made the fuzion gfx block a impingment... Not to worry tho thanks for the advice

Am using a EK 8800gtx fullcover block in the same loop as my Fuzion cpu block myself...

I would (and have) gone for a EK full cover block over either of the two you have chosen anyday. Free flowing and superb cooling, plus it looks good too. Also very easy to install. Keeps my 8800GTS in the mid 30's. They can be had for £49.50 + delivery so they are not overpriced.

I have considered it but I really need it to cool both the cards 6800gt and later the 8800gts.

If your getting the 8800gts in a couple of weeks why bother with the 6800 on water?

I was thinking this as well....

I Can't see any point in watercooling the 6800 if your buying a 8800gts in a few weeks...

Its more like a couple of months Im waiting for the Intel price cuts on the 22nd July and thought it would be good to get the cooling all sorted for then having a block i could use on both was just something of a bonus

I would still get a full cover block for the GTS when the time comes and leave the 6800 on air for the sake of two months or so.
