HWlabs Blaze waterblock?

mateo88 · Dec 8, 2002

Is it good or is it a piece of s---?

NeoMoses · Dec 8, 2002

no personal experience with it, but from this review it appears it's not that great. I looks kinda cheap. (just my opinion). I'd say stay away from it. Those look like aircooled temps. If I were going to spend the money to go watercooling, I'd at least want it to perform better than air. There are much better blocks available for not much more money.

caffinehog likes his, he has 2, running a dualy

well.. it doesn't look very high tech -ish... but for the price.. i guess its not so bad..

mateo88 · Dec 8, 2002

thanks for the replies. I was just wondering since it has the 3 lug clip on it. Which others have the same type of clip?

JFettig · Dec 8, 2002

dangerden maze1 I beleve has it... Also there is a clip for the be jagged edge block

mateo88 · Dec 8, 2002

Thanks J. How good is the jagged edge block? Is it better than the maze1?

JFettig · Dec 8, 2002

I have no idea on that one, I cannot tell ya

Liss · Dec 8, 2002

well.. the maze1 and jagged edge are basically the same in design.. so i would assume that perforance is the same.. maybe a 1C difference max...

mateo88 · Dec 8, 2002

Thanks Liss. Looks like I'll be getting a jagged edge for Christmas, then. Should be plenty for a Tualeron, right?

Get the Maze 3.

Will that maze3 hold down work on a 370 motherboard? If so, thanks and that's what i'll get. Thanks for the reply.

JFettig · Dec 8, 2002

yes it will

mateo88 · Dec 8, 2002

Thanks J and everyone else. Can't wait till Christmas! =)

That HWlabs block looks week. It's so small! I'd expect better from that company considering how good their radiators are.

TonyMc · Dec 9, 2002

It looks pretty cheezy to me, but if it perfoms well I guess thats all that counts.

ALTPIMP. Is that a custom hold down on that Maze3. I didn't see it on there site. If so, good job that looks nice.

I bet you the blaze is a good performer. It doesn't have to be big to work, look at the gemini block. I'm getting 35C full load with an xp1600 at 1.86 GHZ @1.85 V with a 21C ambient

I haerd it was an okay performer, not too bad. but not great either

mateo88 · Dec 11, 2002

Thanks guys. I think I'll look at something else, though, since the general impression is it's at best average. Thanks again.

I have the HWlabs Blaze and Maze 3 and they both work fine. The temps are about the same. I find the Maze 3 with the hold down thing for the zif tabs don't put enough pressure because my waterblocks is still loose, and with no other way of tightening it. I think I want to sell the Maze 3 and keep the Blaze.
