Dtek Fuzion v2.

[Quiksilver]

For you watercooling guru's

I don't know much about water cooling, actually nothing at all but some might care about this.

I have one coming in the mail for my new WC setup. Until I can test it I can only say that it appears to be exactly "1" better than the previous version.

I've 2 of the original and don't see any real engineering improvement over the old. I reserve judgement till I see some comparative tests.

That explains why the backplate kits were out of stock everywhere for v1. This has a decent mounting system, it looks identical to the 775 TRUE mount. I'd buy this; I was balking before.

Yeah it makes sense this comes out right after I purchase my V1+ nozzle kit (build coming soon) Word on XS is that it may be a little more restrictive yet perform a bit better than a stock Fuzion V1.

If you have the original D-Tek FuZion, make sure you buy the Pro Mount kit and the Nozzle kit, and use the appropriate nozzle for your system.

Be aware that the original FuZion came bowed.

Version Two of the FuZion comes flat and with the extra O-rings. If you are performance-minded, make sure you select one of the two o-rngs to manually bowed. Be advised that bowing is a one-way street. Once bowed, you cannot go back to flat.

No matter, the flat block wouldn't hold a candle against the nbowed block because it exerts extra pressure on the cores.

The jury is still out whether this is the new kingpin or the title is still maintained by the EK Supreme. Aigomorla will tell you that the restriction of the EK Supreme brings performance benefits.

If you don't much care about getting that last degree of thermal capability, then by all means use this Version Two block as is. I still highly recommend that you bow this block.

Further guidance upon request.

If you already have a v1 I dont think it makes sense to upgrade at this point. Though i do like the mount.

Some preliminary indications.

smee gets 4 to 5 degrees better per core. That's a mighty drastic difference. The V1 block looks pro-mounted and further bowed. The V2 block was bowed with washers.

I would say that looks can be deceiving, and the version 2 block may look cosmetically similar, but its definitely a better block.

From that testing I would tend to agree.
Damn!!!!:frown:
I'm putting together a new box and I have V1 prepped and ready to go. Darndarndarn DARN!:disgust:
sour grapes anyone?

Heads up. Credit to Martinm210 at XS

Total Base Thickness
V1=.220"
V2=.200" (Also machined on the top a little)

Pin Height
V1=.160"
V2=.150"

Base thickness left
V1=.060"
V2=.050"

The two blocks are different. It appears that the V2 is marginally more restrictive than the V1 with washer bowing. The pins on the V2 are shorter, which can only mean that the block has higher fluid turbulence and therefore possibly enhanced heat transfer.

The results so far are only preliminary, but my personal opinion is that this is the number one cpu block in the market.

I don't know about you, but every V1 I have is being switched out.
