Danger Den RBX Acclerator-nozzle 1vs5 Comparison

Cooling/Water Cooling by KeithSuppe @ 2004-02-12

An in-depth look at Danger Den?s latest water block. The standard nozzle of the RBX can be swapped for a more performant one; we set out to see what difference it actually makes!

Graphs and Conclusion

Graphs:

If we level the ambient/case temperature to same values for all results, we end up with these graphs:

Conclusion:

From the preponderance of data, I've extrapolated the following. The RBX number-5 accelerator nozzle's dispersion pattern is adept at conducting the intense heat signature innate to P4 overclocking. This makes this nozzle an appurtenant overclocking option, and it's included with every RBX along with several others. I'm thoroughly impressed with the concepts behind Danger Den's RBX design. It's a clever amalgamation of a small foot-print (allowing the CPU to "breath") Cascade "type" impingement into heat-voids, which re-contour into channels propagating rapid bi-lateral uptake of the heated water.

All these features, including twin outlets, conspire to absorb, and expurgate the maximum amount of thermal energy (heat) in minimum amount of time. I believe Danger Den has hit upon a winner in this design, and should be applauded for the effort which went into this water-block.

Once again they have given us excellent machining and craftsmanship, and the brass head plate, may drop temps even further, if the ambient temps are cool as well. Given its price tag, and user malleability it's an outstanding value. I would like to see Danger Den design a kit around this block as they've done with their Maze-4 Powerkit.

I'd like to thank Dan at Danger Den for all his help and patience, as well as Phil and Ettore at Hydor.
