It still looks as restrictive as hell

Much better idea than stupid asus' fuzion system.

:damn:

not enjoying the width of that copper tubing tbh

To be fair, they might as well jump on the bandwagon while its still hot!

I'm just a bit pi$$ed that now I've bought my board a load of WC ones are coming out

Looks great. You guys don't even know the half of it when it comes to ASUS' system. It's literally glued together. Many have small hairline cracks too that cause a drip or two. Someone had their 2900XT 1GB short out because of it.

:O oh dear.. rather glad i avoided that for my abit ip35 pro then

How does the copper tube seal ? Doesnt look like it can take much pressure tbh and looks quite restrictive for a high flow system

Blocks look nice though, similar to the MIPS and Heatkiller gear and good idea that they have left them tapped at G1/4" by the looks rather than giving you 3/8" fittings already fitted.

Prob find the pipe just runs straight through and is soldered on.

I think its a dam good idea (as long as its real copper...).

XSPC bay rez/pump combo + a 120mm (240 is your case is big enough & im assuming youve got a 360 for cpu) and you've got effective watercooling for the bits that are normally a total PITA.
