Im sure this could most likely be debated ad nauseum, but I would still like to get a poll of what everyone thinks is the best CPU waterblock for a Q6600.

D-Tek FuZion with the nozzle accelerator

OR

Swiftech Apogee GTX Exteme


Thanks!

There is an extreme GTX?

The Fuzion and Apogee GTX are very similar in performance. I heard mixed reviews concerning the Fuzion's accelerators but overall I think the Fuzion may give you 1-2°. You can't really go wrong either way though.

And if there is an extreme edition GTX, it would most likely be the best.

Yes, there is an extreme, although its the same Apogee GTX that everyone talks about that I am aware of.

Full name/model is Swiftech Apogee GTX Extreme Performance CPU Block

D-Tek Fuzion, all the way. The Apogee GTX is very restrictive compared to the Fuzion.

Apogee all the way!

I'm running a B1 E6600 and even with the vcore set to 1.7v (which is the highest this P5B deluxe can go) full load temps in an ambient room temp of 70f don't go above 61c - 63c.

Only problem with the GTX is the top is aluminum... unless you want to risk corrosion, stay away from it. The Fuzion with nozzle performs better too. Here is one such case of corrosion and the GTX: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=166101

Yea, Ive pretty much decided Im going with a D-tek FuZion (nozzles + bowed most likely) UNLESS......

Have you had a chance to test the new EK-Supreme yet Nik?

I saw all of your data both here and on XS about the other blocks, but what about this new EK im hearing so much about? Any test results on it yet?
