@VSG on thermal page section, I wish you would include a couple AIO's in the same test for compare and contrast on these custom water builds

Hi,
Damn 90.us is that a typo guessing it's cheaper because it's a third of a magnitude :laugh:

Otherwise cooling fins look like optimus was contracted to do them which brings me to ask where is there old still compatible optimus sigV2 or foundation at on the chart @VSG ?

I mentioned this in the previous review where a similar comment came up but that's a completely different test (full system, component temp - ambient) vs block test (component temp - coolant). Raymond (CPU cooler editor) would be the person to ask this because he has CLCs as well as AIOs from the likes of EK which uses similar blocks, if not the exact same ones that are sold separately.

I don't have a lot of stuff with me anymore after I moved from the US to the UK.

More like the UK simply doesn't have as much real estate so I had to downsize a lot of my collection. Returned most things back to the companies and donated the rest.

Hey VSG, I was looking at the review, you compare to Raijintek forkis pro, but I see no review for this block. Do you have a review that has not yet posted?
I'd certainly be interested in seeing reviews of cheaper blocks including 'Ali Express specials'.....

Yeah, the review is in the works as we speak.
