So is the Whitewater better than the TDX?

performance wise, I'd say they are about identical.

I think the WW is slightly better, but due to a lack of pressure drop info on plate #1, it's hard to tell. I recommend the MCW-6002, for a good price and performance about the same as the TDX.

so whats better RBX, or TDX? i will most likely have a Iwaki WMD-20RLTZ.

RBX is technically slightly better, although the TDX is easier to mount and easier to use, but we don't know pressure drop.

They are all simlar. The TDX is prolly the worse in terms of performance but is stilll a good choice because of the 2 barbs, lower flow resistance, wider base for easyer mounting etc. etc.

here is another review to look at while we wait for pHaestus's results. This review compares the silver/copper tdx with others and i don't think that silver is worth a 125$ not so great temps compared to rbx or tdx

Or how he took the temps, how many times he mounted it, etc.
It's a crap review.

I think I have a grasp enough of testing to have easily done as well myself lol

learning curve: To do as well yourself, you just need to be able to strap a waterblock to a CPU. They describe their methods (FAH for 30 minutes, one mount, temperature sensor 1 inch from CPU, no regulation of water flow etc. etc.)

Have they changed it since? it says clearly hes using a danner mag3 pump...
Its also interesting (and obviously a bit off) how much they differ from PH's testing at procooling. http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=8941
the RBX is clearly worse here, not sure about after pressure loss i guess

The WW has a pressure drop of 20" @ 1GPM. The RBX has 16". Work it out. It seems that the RBX must have 1.5GPM to compete with the WW at 1GPM, and that means a pressure drop of 36". It loses. Pimprig is humiliating themselves by posting these reviews, IMO, but a lot of people probably think that these reviews are one of the greater things since sliced bread...

you're right AngryAlpaca my digi doctor set up would probably have been more accurate and I wouldn't have relied on one mounting either lolAngryAlpaca said:

Well DD posted the Pimprig review on their site. Sad but I guess its advertising.
