Are both of these Water blocks the Storm G5?

And is this the best GPU block on the market http://www.silverprop.com/cyclonefusionhl.aspx ?

Well lets see the D-tek ones clearly states WhiteWater. The Silverprop Fusion is one of the best I believe the Maze4 Acetal is just as good easier to get and mounts better tho.

neither are the G5 - the one at dtek is the whitewater w/ the universal top, and the one at LRWB is the G4 - the G5 basically looks like the G4 with a polished/nickel mounting plate (also has silver baseplate, and 59 jets)

these are NOT mass-produced blocks (the G4 is NOT either). you have to mail Cathar and wait for the next batch (IIRC within the next 2-4 months he MIGHT do another batch)

look for my "G5 pre order" thread...for more info
(note the date that thread started and know that i just got the block yesterday)

But its worth the wait.

Sneaky · Jun 24, 2005

you're gonna have to wait until the fall/winter if you want a G5

crash013 · Jun 24, 2005

I heard that the next batch for the G4's are soon. Does anyone know?

nikhsub1 · Jun 24, 2005

Yes G4's soon... anouncement will be soon as well.

s random · Jun 24, 2005

from the reviews i saw the white water is a better value although the G5/G4 are better blocks

nikhsub1 · Jun 24, 2005

Well the clear winner in cost/performance is the 6000 and 6002.

s random · Jun 24, 2005

you sure cause from what i saw the white water outperforms the 6002 and its ~ the same price no?

Correct.

DTek/Cooltechnica do the WhiteWater now.
The Cascade design was superceded by the Storm design and is no longer made.

they are so beautiful

/sniff

i wish i was around when you still made the WW. I had to settle for the Dtek version. Im eyeing a G4 but the at $104 USD. Its a little out of budget. Might pick it up when i move to 939

Acurax · Jun 29, 2005

Yeah, D-Tek ruined the WW

Sneaky · Jun 29, 2005

mass production ruins just about anything...

[O-CuK]Marci · Jun 29, 2005

Not necessarily... just depends who's doing the mass production and whether the final quality control is as good as the discerning individual's quality control.

I'll hazard a guess Cathar has been rather selective over who's mass producing the G4... for those very reasons.

Wich one is the Storm G5?
