Cooling Hose????

oh really.....how many watts wuz this guy puttin out cause to warp the top there would have to be some mondo heat in that water

 

I'm not an expert on plastics or anything, but a quick search on google about maximum operating temperatures of acrylic(http://www.ridoutplastics.com/faq.html) is 180f/82.2c!! (before it starts to deform) I would have to question what that guy was trying to cool Maybe *mat-ster* can confirm this?

 

Yeh guy's I know - I was surprised by that too - just sayin' what happened to Armitage on these forums! Don't shoot the messenger please! -

Also found this on 'Maze 3 is here - soon' thread written by mat-ster himself:-

Hope that answers your questions


Never know- this might have been a teething problem with early production blocks - might have been sorted in the U.K. by now? Just recommending the OCPC as it's made of ****ing thick LEXAN so it ain't gonna have any probs for b1g d0g if he uses one

 

Oh, yeah, b1g d0g M8- let us know how you get on with yer rig

 

lol..sorry Coolrunnin Just sounded a bit fishy to me

Is there a dependable site out there that has done a review of the Neptune waterblocks? And is it readily available? The maze3's are too new and i've only read one review on it (and it did seem a bit biased).

The only thing that seems strange to me is why DD would have chosen an inferior material for their new waterblocks. I mean they are a pretty big player in this market, why risk it? Is there really a big risk of cracking/warping when its so small a piece?

Sorry b1g d0g i think we hijacked your thread a bit

*edit - holy smokes i just noticed that its $65 usd for those blocks..yikes..

 

No probs scopE M8 - I get why you were sus - I would be if some relative noob came along dissin' products without facts

Yeah, it is wierd how DD have apparently made this mess up with material selection maybe it's due to the fact that they are such a major player and have a huge demand that Lexan worked out to be too expensive to produce - guess we need a DD insider

About those blocks being $65US remember that in the U.K. things are stoopidly expensive to start with (a maze 2 comes in at around that price over here !) so it's really not as expensive as it seems to you - at least your country actually prices things sensibly !

 

we are all dd insiders (well as much as we can without connections), just email them Danger Den Tech , and ask them any question u want....if its not about a product thats not out yet they will 9 times outa 10 answer ur question

 

No problem lads,it good to have the info, after all thats why we are on here is it not,think ill go for the swify now,ill need to look into all this a bit more now,because i want to get i right first time.

Keep up the good work people...

 

B1g d0g - If you're going to get the swifty then you might wanna make sure you get the newset version if you get the 462 - I think it's the MCW-462-U 'cos there are still some old MCW-462-Bs around that aren't quite as good. Still works though There's no new block to replace the socket mounted variety s far as I know. Jus one (more ) word or advice - get a block which mounts to the holes round the socket, if your motherboard allows. Just a bit more secure that's all

Haddy - gotta be impressed with DD if they answer all your tech queries - that's pretty good

 

Yeh i think ive seen the new one,ive got the Swiftech MXC-452A at the mo and it fits through the mo-bo,wonder it if the same as the water cooled version? would save me taking it off.

This the one you meen? http://www.pclincs.co.uk//acatalog/...tes__Water_Blocks___Hold_Down_Devices_22.html

Ive seen on a website that a chap put a 3/8 copper tube in the holes and then put the hose on it,look ok to me.
