Intimidator CPU-GPU-Chipset Water Blocks Review

Cooling/Water Cooling by piotke @ 2004-04-16

Now that water cooling systems are becoming more popular, you'll find a lot of retail solutions. Most of them are high priced and offer only average performance. Building the setup yourself is an option, but getting the blocks is the most difficult part I think. Good performance for a decent price...
This week I've been testing a new revision of a set of warter blocks from Frigus Engineerings. Blue powah!

Chipset block

Intimidator NB VIA/SiS/nForce² v1.0

Frigus Engineering’s new line of anodized alloy/copper blocks are highly efficient, combined with low weight and an excellent price. It has a good-looking anodized copper top with a full copper base.

This block will fit the VIA/SiS/nForce² chipset series.

Mounting holes center-to-center distance varies between 51.0mm and 60.0mm and comes with:

Anodized Alloy top

full copper base

10mm Brass hose fittings

Hold down material

Here I have the same comment as for the CPU block. However, the base from this block has a better finishing. I am not saying the bottom CPU block was bad; this was just a little better.

Once again, pictures:
