Torn on which A64 block. Swifty(2), RBX, WW etc..

I have been doing some reading and read many of the pro's and cons of these waterblocks, but I am still stuck for my soon to arrive AMD 64 3200+.
I am slightly leaning towards the Swift 6000-A, but I like the 1/2" barbs on the 6002 better since my current setup is all 1/2", but since it's so simple I could easily reduce it if I had to.
All I water cool is my CPU in the simplest way. I have a Sen 500 GPH pump that has very good head and very low heat going into a chevette heater core going into my current block on my XP of a Spir@l and then back into a simple 2 gallon fish tank. Big, messy, but simple and it works.

My first poly top on my Spir@l did crack, but I was sent a new one after the redesign and it has been fine ever since. So although I am leary of Poly Tops I am not going to rule them out completely since that really cuts into my choices.

So far I have knocked it down to these four in no particular order.

Swifty 6000-A
Swifty 6002-64
White Water
RBX with brass top

They are all pretty close in price so that won't be the number one factor.
I am looking for the best combo of performance and ease of use. A good track record of not leaking would be nice too.

Thanks,
Mark

I am ordering the Swifty 6000-64 today. Biting the bullet.

You should probably wait for some tests before you make that kind of declaration.

That being said, I expect the new block to be a (very)good performer given the research and development that goes into his blocks.

I think they are all very close, either way the Swifty was not a bad choice, only problem is you cant clean it if need be.......

I've had no trouble with my white water block. I have the poly top, and it hasn't cracked/leaked.

well, take this statement:

the G4 worked out about as expected, being a little more than 0.5C better than the Cascade SS given the same pump.

then look at this chart:Interactive Waterblock Test Results

and...(come to your own conclusion )

cascade ss used to own.... but now time has choose G4

You know, $90 is a lot for a waterblock, but they're not going to get much better after this. I think of the $90 I'm going to spend on a G4 as an investment.

But in the short term, I vote for the WW.
