Waterblock Shootout - three blocks compared

Posted on Sunday, October 12 2008 @ 3:37 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Overclock3D compared three watercooling blocks: the new Swiftech Apogee GTZ, XSPC Delta V3 and Aqua Computer Cuplex HD.
It is a well known fact that water-cooling is really beginning to become a viable mainstream alternative to traditional air-cooling measures. No longer is water-cooling purely the domain of the hardcore overclockers, but ever increasingly it is beginning to make its way into more and more people's homes. With the advent of quad-core processors and the successful saturation of the market with dual-core processors as well, a need has arisen for cooling methods to tame these multi-cored beasts. So how do we look towards cooling these processors more efficiently...With water-cooling of course!

Today I have been given the opportunity to review the new Swiftech Apogee GTZ, XSPC Delta V3 and Aqua Compter Cuplex HD water blocks which all promise the highest cooling performance. It will be interesting to see which block emerges as the winner of a no-holds barred water block shootout. Can they tame the Quad-cored beast?
You can get the answer over here at Overclock3D.
