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!

Conclusion

Conclusion

Once again Frigus Engineering’s delivered us some above average water blocks. This time they look even better then the previous ones.

So what can I conclude? These blocks perform very well, compared to block with big names. Looks are great and so is the finishing and installation is straightforward easy.
Performance wise these blocks can stand up proud next to those of "big names".

Cost, here Frigus pulls out his Ace Card: €35 a block. Cheap isn't it? And they worth every cent of it!

We have some good news for our readers, if you decide to order three blocks through [M]adshrimps, you will get a 10 € discount. All you have to do is use the order form you get by clicking the link below!

Many thanks go to Cees, the man behind Frigus Engineerings, for providing us with these blocks.

In addition, here is a last picture I would not want you to miss. This happens when you use cooling paste that is to liquid, and if you use too much pressure on your block. (This also happened with the Asetek block and the Thermalright SLK-948U.). The CPU gets ripped out of the socket due to vacuum forces created.
