Heatkiller, DangerDen, Cuplex or which water block?

[ThomasC]

Hi all

I am about to purchase my first water based cooling system (hope you remember the excitement about that), but I need some advise from some more experienced guys than me.

I can't really decide which water block i should purchase.

Currently I am considering:

- Heatkiller Rev. 1.6
- Dangerden Maze3
- Cuplex Sokkel A (http://www.studiedata.dk/product.asp?product=795&page=1)

The reason for these 3 is the price and that they are available at my "local" HW-pusher. I hope you can help me with my choice

Thanks in advance

what are the costs of each water block? I think that maze designs with the inlet right over the center is performs a bit better than maze designs with inlet off-center.

The 3rd one looks like it will work ok, but the Maze 3 is definitly one of the best you can get. I have one right now and my cpu has not broken 35 C (Athlon Thunderbird 1.4ghz)

Hi again

Thanks 4 the help guess.

The cost of the three is approximately the same, so it all about the performance of them I am interested in - anyway only got Danish prices, so the prices might be completely different in other countries.

I have not been able to find a review where they are up against each other, so if u know where to find one or know/guess which is best I?ll appreciate it

Thanks

The best blocks out there...bar none...are the WhiteWater and the MicroCup.

Find one of these if you can.

If the prices of those three are the same, then I'd go for the Maze3. It is one of the best performers, and there are a few blocks that perform only slightly better.
