Cooling/Water Cooling by KeithSuppe @ 2004-05-31

We take an in-depth look at the latest water block from Danger Den; the TDX features the same performance increasing nozzles as the RBX but improves on its design. Tested on an Athlon 64 setup we take a look at what it can do!

Conclusion

Over the last week I've been very impressed with the cooling prowess of the TDX. Its minimalist design (dimensions), places the water exactly where it needs to be, and its diminutive size yet dynamic flow, remove that heat rapidly for an effective cooling solution. The benefit of 5-inlet stream options via Danger Den's accelerator nozzle options should have this block mate well with just about any pump. Perhaps most impressive, is the Oregon company's choice of material. Offering the TDX in pure silver (~99.995%) is quite imaginative, and of course the metal is ideal due to it's high thermal conductivity as seen on the chart below (from Frosty-Tech);

Danger Den has given us an adaptable and highly effective cooling solution in the TDX, and I'm very happy with this product. I'm convinced the TDX will become an immediate success. I highly recommend this water-block, and believe it will out-perform many other blocks on the market to date. I'd say we have a top contender on our hands as we did with the RBX. My thanks to Dano at Danger Den, I'm grateful for the hardware, which remains in my system as the primary cooling device.
