1 #rotor block.

1 of the new spir@l's ( not gemini, borrowed from fragenstien )

1 block by bruno http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/showt...&threadid=7730

I will be requesting blocks from a few others.

Becooling: will send a black edge for testing.

Silverprop: I will be getting a cyclone 5 in a few weeks.

Liquidcc.co.nz will donate a surge to the testing.

Ocpc: I will try to get one of jessfm's blocks from the uk. No reply yet.

Dtek customs: No reply on the tc-4 yet.

Gemini: Will send 2 versions of the high flow block for testing. One all copper and one with the plexi top.

Innovatek: No reply from the Innovatek people here in the usa yet.

If anyone would like to be in it let me know. Testing starting next week with individual block writeups to be posted. When I get all that I can I will post a final write up.

Any one interested in getting stuff tested pm or email me. cooler@water-cool.com

Here's a reply to a pm I had. If anyone can think of anything else please add it:


I think the first order would be to decide exactly what test I will run and maybe post that on my site for input on what others may like to see.


How's this for startes for the testing

1) Flow test with the blocks using the rotor bucket flow test. I know not completely scientific but as someone else pointed out in the thread that for our purposes it would be more than close enough. The differences were so minute that it was less than mesurable for our needs.

2) for lack of a better way to put it temp monitoring over an extended period. This is what I will derive my c/w ratings from. This is the part I was refering ot doing at least 3 times.

3) the last part was purely subjective but it will be highest stable oc. The reason for this is that some blocks seem to give the same temps but allow a higher oc. This is hard to quantify but really if it will do an oc at such and such speed and the other won't what else can I say.

4) Now that you mention it I could do 150gph pump, 370gph pump, and for those out there cazy enough I can test a 700gph monster that I have. Do you think this whould be good in the pump testing. If I need more I do have them but these will be the easiest to use.

As for the as3 yes I have plenty and can get more easily. I know the rumors floating arround but have not found most of them to be true while testing as3. I have not found any settle in period whatsover. I'm pretty sure billa would be able to confirm this but I have not talked to him about it. Yes the block would be cleaned and new applied for each test.


Here are the fixed links I will edit my post above for this.
