im looking at maze3 too but there are pleannty of posts about it :) thanks :)
 
well i dont own a block but.. i am prolly gonna get water cooliung really soon and i am thinking hte maze 3 or spiral from D-tek, i would imagin that the aqua via would work well and that you couldnt really get too much (beyond blowing the tubes off the fittings) but the aqua via should work well, lots of people use it :D :eh?: :D
 
I would stay way from water block with any kind of plastic tops, I had one and I put on the nuts with my fingers and the damn thing started cracking.


Like my lap job, what a waist.

My 2 cents, I went back to my maze 2....

Edit
 
i was planning on copper top for the tc-4 or the maze3.... it will be covered in neoprene so i wouldnt see it anyway :D
 
I'd stay away from the other two blocks, but the TC-4 is awesome.

I have the TC-4 with the poly top and it roxxor.
I only got a chace to test it out for a few hours, but I got 32C load.
Tested a maze3 on the same setup (my friends maze3, I would never buy one) and the maze only had 36-38 C load.

I kinda feel that this block is only for people with a high flow rate in their system.
Really recommend it.:beer:
