MP-05 vs Apogee

[Immortal_Hero]

How do a MP-05 and an Apogee compare? From the review I saw the MP-05 beats an Apogee by a few c's.

Can you link where you read it? I thought they were very close to each other - MC05 being better by 1C or so - but that was about 4 months ago when I got my Apogee though...

By few I mean 1 to 3 with an OCed conroe.

Got a link? I haven't really seen any comparisons of the two. Both are good blocks and you can't go wrong with either but its always good to see who's on top at the high and low flow ranges.

Since they made some sideways remark about the MP-05 beating the Storm you gotta' wonder why they didn't make that comparison while they were at it ...

well that's your answer right there. I'd call them pretty much equal, as 1-3c's can fluctuate each time you mount a block. Grab whatever one is cheaper, if they're the same price, the MP-05 looks fine :)

Well looking at a cheap MP05 in the classies that needs some work... looks like it needs some serrious lapping and a good cleaning.

hell I got my new Apogee for $39+ with an AM2 holding block...

Ordered that and a MCA60? for my Evga 7600 VGA but of course it no fit!

I own both (have not used the MP-05 yet) and I like the build quality of the MP-05 much better. I think there has been some discussion about the MP-05 vs the storm over at XS.

Well try finding an Apogee right now for starters. I looked on E-Bay even last night and did not find any.

Check with CoolerGuys - it looked like they had one but you can't be sure unless you call ...
