thats a hard choice, I would say neither and use the Thermalright one that comes with the mobo.

The Swifty is cheap and works great
The Enzo is just Beautiful looking
EK looks more plain but has the size to cover the chipset

Hard choice.

freaksavior · Jul 21, 2008

Thats one reason why i like the enzo so much, it looks really nice!
the swiftech one, i read had clearence issues with dual slot gpu's and my board but calvery said it should work. the ex block looks low so it is also a good choice imo, just dont know if i should bother buying one

Calvary is right, the NB will be NO clearance issues, the SB is the one that will interfere with GPUs.
The one thing about the EK cooler is the mount is not very adjustable so make sure the mounting holes will fit your exact mobo first
(but it has a large base that will allow more contact with the IHS on the NB)

hum, specs?

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2008

Man, it is a hard choice... A few people on Xtreme systems told me about grabbing the swifty as being the one to grab, but I really like the look of the Enzo...

cdawall · Jul 21, 2008

next ting we need what water blocks for a pair (or 3) of 3850s looking for cheap and i can get the ram cooling seperate ie. non full cover

The ek-5 works on the dfi lt x48 (its under the list)

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2008

You guys could grab a few Danger Den Maze5 and some ram sinks.

I am really liking the Enzo... Really thinking of grabbing it...

I make my own now but before I used the maze 4,5 and switched to these
http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=104

Koolance even has a discount when you buy them in pairs.
(remember the 3850 is no heat monster so it dosent need a huge cooler)

cdawall · Jul 21, 2008

what about the dtek gfx2?

http://www.petrastechshop.com/dfugfx2gpuwa.html

http://www.petrastechshop.com/dadenma4gpum.html

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2008

I didn't know the GFX2 was ati.. I've only seen it on a Nvida card.. lol I like how the GFX is ... that is what I was grabbing for my GTX... Whenever it gets here!!!

Yes, they are very universal.

well shit thats a damn good price

now what about this making it yourself thing how difficult is that

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2008

How good are those? Because I'm thinking of the whole GFX system.. but if this is good...

LOL, it can be a pain. :banghead:

(for the $$ Koolance ones rule, when I bought 2 of them they took some more $ off.)

for an 8600 9600 3850 I think they are very nice (rated at 200 watts) I probably wouldnt use them on an extremely high OC card or a GTX280 but I think they do very well on a mid range card.

One thing I really like is the 1/4" tubing as it hogs up a lot less space in the case and the blocks are very low profile so they dont get in the way.

freaksavior · Jul 22, 2008
