TDX or Storm

1cem4n · Jul 11, 2005

I just saw the Storm from Swiftech and I know just how good it is but when compared to a DangerDen TDX made out of silver? which one would be better? Seeing as how I have 200 Dollars for the Waterblock, I'm undecided. I know that the TDX will probably need a pump capable of 300gph too.

EDIT: Anybody know anything about water chillers that I can buy?

I don't know of any commercially made water chillers though. However the storm will own the tdx period. See this link: http://www.procooling.com/html/pro_testing.php and play around with it.

If your pump is the sam with either block...I would go with the storm just because its a more advanced technology, but thats just me.
I dont recall the TDXsilver to perform all that good...I could be wrong but I dont think it ever beat the cascade over at ProCooling.

Storm is my final answer.

yeah, I will be using the Hydor SELTZ (450GPH) pump but does it generate a lot of heat? I will be using two BIX 120mm with either panaflo high speeds or Delta Tri Blade.

do not go with that pump it produces too much heat and too little head. I would look into the MCP655 from swiftech of the D5 pump from dangerden (they are one and the same). They have more head and dump less heat into the loop so they are superior choices.

The Silver TDX performed not much better than the Copper one in JoeC's reviews:

If you choose to steer away from the Storm, then the 6002 still works better than a TDX.

I think I will go with the new Storm from Swiftech as I have heard great things about the g4 that cathar made.

I would be weary of your Hydor pump.
Its probably not up to the storms restrictiveness.

your best bet with that hydor SELTZ pump is honestly th swiftech MCW6000 or 6002.

Buy a Swiftech storm and then go for an Iwaki mrd20(I believe thats the correct name) pump. Then you end up with something thats just about the best WC setup you can get.

Not really considering 2 modded MCP350's will give about the same amount of preformance or better and put out a lot less heat. According to Cathar's testing over at ProCooling.com 2 MCP650's performed just as well as the Iwaki MD20rz. And considering that the modded MCP350 will out perform the 650 I think the Iwaki has some strong competition.

What about the MCP655? I've heard many good things about it.

get teh Swiftech Storm & Swiftech MCP655 and you're set - don't even bother considering anything else

The Iwaki MD-20RZ is a great pump, but you do need a big radiator if you're going to use one. It too, has a sizable heat dump.
