Best water block for quad core?
- Thread starter trenchdog73

From what I have been reading, the apogee GT is taking a slight lead over the dtek fuzion. One of the forum members, nikshub if I am not mistaken, is conducting some tests on most of the latest blocks. I don't think it will be too long before he shows his work.

From what I have read, the Apogee GT and GTX, and the D-tek Fuzion all offer great cooling for the quad core processors, since the effective cooling area on those waterblocks is so large, in contrast to the Storm and that jet impingement design, which concentrates the effective cooling to a small area over the center of the die.

I don't think I've seen any reprts for an original Apogee on a quad, but give it a try. The GT, GTX or Fuzion would be a little better, but I don't think you need to run out and buy a new block.
IIRC, Nikhsub is currently testing with a dual-core CPU instead of a quad. There is a collection of results with a lot of quads in the mix here, but keep in mind that these are not from carefully controlled tests.

TheTech Repository Have about the most informative reviews i've seen. though i'll be on dual core 4 a while yet, this was a consideration when opting 4 the Fuzion
