Waterblock flowrate

[simon389]

What is the best waterblock that has a high flowrate?? (Probably NOT my Z4 :rolleyes: )

[---X---]

I would think the Danger Den Maze 3 or Fixxitt's/Dtek's Spiral would, the TC-4 is meant to turbulate, not flow, and the Gemini blocks are too damned small in the channels :eh?: But then again, those are just wild extrapolations from some abstract theories of mine...

I have a Swiftech in my rig, but I don't have a real high flowrate pump...the reports I've seen rate Swifties pretty high at high flowrates though.....

Mine has the highest reported flowrate I've run across in actual use. Here's a pic. I am running it now at 360actual gph through the system:)

How does the water flow through that thing? I can't see all the channels...

I have a thread which you can find called Block concept, in it I show how I constructed and designed the block from beginning to end results. It's over here (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83613&perpage=30&pagenumber=7)

Okay, that is sweet and all, but what commercial waterblock has a flow rate that high??? What gets close??

[gone_fishin]

None that I know of. If someone has tested and run one this high I would like to know and I would buy it to compare to mine in an instant, just so I can get a good comparison.

[simon389]

anybody else know of commercial high flow rate waterblocks??

A maze3 with reamed out/oversize barbs would be about the highest flowrate commercial block that I can think of, it still won't come close to gone_fishin's though...
