Oh my, superb coolers there. Matrix pin design, yes? I think my next water cooling kit might start with the all in one Nautilus or swiftech on newegg, but I may put these water blocks with them.

not a good idea friend

well it's about time!

I doubt this will outperform the Apogee GTX or the D-Tek

I want one!!!

DaMultaI want one!!!

y?

Just look:)

DaMulta

Just look:)

at wat?

a TDX with pins? pfffffft! wow!

which is an RBX with 2 barbs, which is a copy of a LRWW (cathars first block).

hardly innovative and definately nothing new.

intel igentnot a good idea friend

Why not? Swiftech makes good cooling products. My H20-120 Premium is just fine. Has a Laing DDC-1 and Swiftech's blocks already feature a pin design, and are quite effective. The only thing you can remotely question is the radiator, but the single 120mm was perfectly happy keeping my X2 6000+ safely cool at 1.65V.

And while other makers have been sporting the pin design for a while, it doesn't take anything away the release of these blocks. It's a proven design, that works very well. They have increased surface area exposed to the coolant, while still maintaining good flow. All that matters to most of us is cost/performance, not the history of a design. If these have performance worthy of their $60 price tag, that's all that matters.

I eagerly await to see what they are capable of.

yes wile E swiftech makes good stuff i was reffering to the corsair nautilus.

i doubt the performance of these will beat the fuzion/apogee and i cant imagine the temps being much better than a normal TDX (maybe few deg) i dont think theyre worth the 60$ but who knows maybe ill be biting my tongue?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

:toast:

the new tdx is a blatent rip off of the DTEK fuzion. The internal pin matrix is IDENTICAL to the fuzion...check this link:

Unless they did it with permission from D-Tek. Personally, I'm not concerned with where the design came from, only price:performance. (Nothing personal, btw.) If not, I'm sure D-Tek will have something to say about it. It will likely work itself out in the end.

My bad, I somehow missed his mention of the Nautilus. On that note, I agree with you fully. Swiftech>Nautilus by far.

As far as performance, I, too, have my doubts about these blocks being worth $60. But hopefully I'm wrong. So far, my Apogee GT is the best "bang for the buck" block I've found. (For me, anyway. If money was no object, I would've looked to higher classed products, but I'll sacrifice a degree or 2 for a lower price tag.)

I am a big fan of the pin matrix design, however.

What do you guys think, blast the water over the pins and out the other side, or suck it up thru the pins?

Over the pins.

That's what I was thinking, but you are removing the heat....

It's still better. Look at direct impingement blocks. Tho with this design, it probably doesn't make a huge difference.

lets see if they re-release the accelarator nozzles to improve performance like they did with the original TDX. then they might have something ;)

i still say 60$ is overpriced.
