    Best waterblocks out there are from http://cooling-solutions.de !

    They do not only perform very well, but also look way better than all others!

    This is the second time that you have strongly plugged cooling solutions water block with totally unsubstatiated claimes. If they want to wear the crown and I would truly love a European company to have it, then they are going to have to earn it. The likes of overclockers.com are batch testing, it's time that CS.de started to put itself forward. I would love a block looking this good on my twin water powered 220w TEC system I am building; but being pretty is not good enough.

    However, it is time to evidence or accept a jesters hat.

    Lastly, I do trust that you have no stronger connections with CS.de other than being on their forum, as that would be pimping, something not tollerated on this forum.

    I'm just posting my opinion about the k4.1 . I'm really happy with this cooler, although I know that there are some that perform a little better, e.g. Innovatek innovaCOOL rev3.0
    [​IMG] .

    The performance differences are pretty little. In the tests I read so far, the K4.1 was second after the innovaCool. But the cool and unique look of the K4.1 makes it my favorite!

    And I really don't have any connecions to "Cooling-Solutions"; I'm just a satisfied customer!

    Elemental,

    Germany is rapidly becoming a great place for high performance computer innovation. I have now seen three nice acrylic waterblocks and you have the likes of noice control who brough us silent hard drives and of course the silverado (I have one of those).

    Why do you keep it a secret over there?

    I still think it is time that the likes of cooling solution start to get themselves tested against the big boys and not in their own cosy little back yard. Remember, a small little producer just trounced DD and Swiftech.

    I fully accept what you say about being a happy customer only, we have had problems with pimping (as all forums do) so we do jump to ensure that the integraty of the forum is preserved.

    I have another test from a german pc magazine. It's not one of the best tests out there. I don't know why they got such high temperatures; they don't mention what radiator they used.

    The magazine is dedicated to newbies, so don't expect too much. The gave school marks to the different coolers :rolleyes:

    If some of these European cooling companies want a bigger slice of the action they need to have a market strategy. This growing market here in the UK could be fruitful with the right products and company backup.

    They need UK resellers with credited review sites in UK indorsing their products.

    Some other countries are stealing the advantage and will give us the consumers more choice.

    Anyone that pimps gets jumped on. TiTch and I run a tight ship and scally wags will walk the blank, be warned!!! :eyebrow:

    What are 'scally wags'? Babelfish can't translate that.
    And what exactly means pimping? Babelfish gives me very strange german word for it :(
    I think it's something like advertising ???
