Fuzion, apogee GTX, or Storm?
I am going to be ready to purchase a new cpu block at the end of this week. My question is which one for my application. I have been reading a lot on this forum and these three seem to be the most popular.
As of right now, I only plan to cool my CPU in my loop. I have no immediate desire to W/C anything else. I just want max cooling on my CPU. I am not sure if that will make a difference, but it does have a play on pressure drops correct? Where one block might perform better with multiple blocks and one will perform better with a single block.
In my case, I am running an un lidded x2 cpu so my cooling surface is smaller. Someone did recommend to me that a storm should perform best because it focus's its cooling on a smaller area.
The storm block is what gets me. They seem to range from $44 all the way up to the upper hundreds. The higher dollar ones seem to be G4's and G5's. They also seem to say that they are made be Cather himself. Are these higher dollar storms worth the coin? Or are they kinda like novalty items because they were hand made by cather?
So, help me decide. I think in the end the difference is minimal correct? I beleive I am looking at 1-2c difference, in which case I would like to have.
