Look what the mailman brought me!
 

Zoals de titel reeds zei, mijn verrassing deze morgen:
Mijn eigenste Cascade waterblok uit Australië.
Werk voor dit weekend in 't vooruitzicht...

Een paar fotookes van mijn exemplaar:






De koperzijde is gelapt met grid 600 (volgens Cathar ideaal voor gebruik met thermal pastes zoals Artic Silver 3).
In werkelijkheid is het koper heel glad, de flash van mijn digicam overdrijft de onregelmatigheden veroorzaakt door het schuurpapier.

Klaat iets weten over de resultaten t.o.v. mijn Maze3...

CD :)

wat is er zo speciaal aan dat blok ?

en wat heb je het betaald ?

Actueel het meest performante blok ter wereld.
Kijk hier , ge zijt wel nen halve dag zoet...

Twas iets van een 87 Euro, alles (shipping, insurance) inbegrepen.

CD :)

w00t the cascade
@piotke it's albout jet impingement :D
check XS ,and be amazed :o
en kost rond de €120(als de douane ambetant doet), moet trouwens ook van de aussies komen

hmm te laat ;) turbokeu was me voor

Sorry...:D

Cathar had "Copper CPU cooling device" en "GIFT" op het pakje geschreven, dus geen taksen of douaneproblemen...

CD :)

damn you :p
payed 117.69 euros for mine with P4 alu mounting plate
17.69 € international bank costs :s

to bad i still dont have my system up and running, still waiting for fans and gpu block :(

and how will the gpu-block look like?

International bank costs are killing you, this is why I use paypal as most as I can (fixed fee in % of the total amount).

AMD Socket A Cascade CPU Waterblock: $128.00 AUD
Insurance up to $200 ($7.00 + $2.00): $ 9.00 AUD
Shipping up to 500gr ($8.00 + $6.00): $ 14.00 AUD
---------------------------------------------------
Subtotal: $151.00 AUD
Paypal surcharge 3%: $ 4.53 AUD
---------------------------------------------------
Total: $155.53 AUD

Equals 88.67 Euro...

CD :)

hehe , any disadvantages on having paypal? VISA-based i guess?
don't have VISA tbh :(

about the blok, i love the mounting, the bolts are with a "steady" head instead of a bad mounting mechanism as the maze3 wich always looses after a while.

They're not officially a bank, yet they act like one. If paypal ever goes belly-up, all your paypal money is gone.

This used to be a problem, but transferring paypal money to your normal Belgian bankaccount is possible since 2003. Just don't leave anything on your paypal account and it's pretty safe.

And yes, you'll need visa or similar.

You're right... I have 0.96$ on my Premier Paypal account :D
Didn't know you could transfer money to a belgian account now...
Will have to check that out.

Edit: Just added my belgian account number to my Paypal account and transferred my US$ balance to Euro (0.85 Euro...:D )

CD :)

That transaction just costed you 3 euro. :P

****....:rolleyes:

Anyway, now I can finally get paid through Paypal (before I had to buy online to get rid of the money they sent me...)

CD :)

Be awere you have to pay a fee (3% or something) if you want to receive money (unless you haven't got a free account).

I know (I have a Premier account).
I just have to add the 3% fee to the amount due when I get paid (as does Cathar for example).

CD :)
