I received my 6000-P last night, and was surprised at how large it is-2.1/2" square!
Since Cathar's testing showed that moving heat more than 5 or so mm before the waterpath is wasted material, isn't that just a tad bit of overkill?
I mean, the heatspreader's not that great (we all know that, right?), then why should my waterblock dwarf the size of my processor so?
I'd think that an 1 1/2" waterblock (or 2" to remain universal) would be more suited (and cheaper still), or was that tried and failed?
Maybe it's a supply issue of a possibly standard copper stamping?
One more thing, the tubes on it are exactly 3/8" (.375), so the tubing doesn't fit that snug.
Just some thoughts.
BillA?
p.s. Fit and finish are outstanding, and packaging was excellent...none of this is about to stop me from using/recommending the block...
