D-Tek Fuzion GPU and Uni-Sink

jmke · 5th September 2007, 10:34

Before the next generation of GPUs is released, we must deal with NVIDIA's flag-ship card, the 8800 Ultra, and the massive amounts of heat it produces. There are several air cooling options available, but enthusiasts will surely select water cooling. The D-Tek Fuzion GPU block offers versatility, and coupled with the Uni-Sink it should be a great solution for cooling 8800 Ultra and GTX cards. Is it the same in practice as in theory?

Although the review is pretty good, I still think the reviewer should move to a region with a better climate. 10°C idle and 18°C load for a watercooling solution means he'd better wear a serious coat

Maybe the dude lives in Belgium or what?

Am I the only one shocked to read someone asking if he should put thermal paste between the memory chips and the thermal pads on the unisink?

what was he thinking

either remove the thermal pads or use them, but not both... doh!

"All temperatures are listed as delta-ambient.", so in other words 10c above whatever his room temp was.

That was added afterwards
