DTEK Question

I just looked at the TC-4 Rev 2 water block and wonder if it would be decient enough in my system with the MCP600 pump ?

And what radiator would any one suggest. I have 2 120mm fans already that came with my case.

It depends. I have seen no reliable testing on this block, but I'd guess a thermal resistance of around 0.2C/W. Neither BillA nor JoeC have reviewed blocks of that type. I don't know if you'd consider that decent. I vote heater core, as always, for the radiator.

0.2, as in 0.20, as in 20 degrees above inlet temperature at 100 watts. Not 0.02, that's probably a LONG way away. Well, on the WB end.

seems like an alright block, and it would be good if you're planning on using this in series for your dualie setup since its not very restrictive. cheap too

For $25 you can't beat it, or the Maze4.

BillA has tested it, got to know where to look. It is not a formal test, but graphed just the same

AngryAlpaca · Mar 4, 2004

ah, nikhsub1
closer inspection would reveal that ALL the other wbs to which the TC-4 is compared are by today's stds obsolete
not that any of them will not perform, just that about any new wb will outperform this group

be that as it may, the TC-4 at $25 is a good value

be cool
