d-tek fuzion water block
Has anyone been following the test results and discussions of the new d-tek fusion water block on the other computer sites? Does this mean that designers are moving away from jet impingement?

Due to the numbing effect of the IHS on today's CPUs, Jet Impingements effects / benefits are also numbed, to the extent that non-jet designs basically beat them.
Jet-Impingment can still hold it's own and beat open-flow pin style blocks happily, but it costs a LOT more to implement the required number of jets and nozzles to cover the necessary cooling patch for the large-area cores around (quads etc), far too much to remain competitive / considerable as a product choice, and far too much to produce a one-off to gain proof-of-concept, altho scaling of results from Storm implementations available (G4, G5 etc) are sufficient proof-of-concept for most.
So yes, designers are moving away from jet impingement... for now... but when the multicore cpus get consolidated onto single dies, J-I blocks will likely begin to make a comeback once again...

would you rate the apogee GT higher than the FuZion?Marci wrote:Due to the numbing effect of the IHS on today's CPUs, Jet Impingements effects / benefits are also numbed, to the extent that non-jet designs basically beat them.
