"Looking for the ultimate water block but on a budget? Today we take a look at the AquaXtreme MP-05 to see if it fits the bill!"

Nice block but I can't believe that they didn't clean it out before shipping it to you, that's a good way to screw up an expensive pump getting nasty debris in it.

Looks a very nice block, shame about the shortcoming of the packaging and care taken during manufacturer

Thx for pointing that out - added to conclusion

great review, yet again!!! well done

Shame about the negative points, we can actually get hold of these but sadly the bad points are putting me off

I love mine. Mine came slightly dirty as well but a few hrs in vinegar solved that . Great review XMS.

 

[JN]

Yeah, I used Arcticlean to sort mine out - but vinegar would probably have been better.

In a way it's good to know that i'm not the only person to have a dirty MP-05 block - so now it can't be shrugged off as an isolated incident.

While the block is a good performer: they will have to improve their quality testing. I am totally unimpressed with manufacturers who let QT slip and there is simply no excuse. I don't think I would recommend people to buy this over a Swiftech Storm - as I know Swiftech's QT is at a very high standard.

nice review, didn't know the core2's put out that much heat! lol

Shame about the manufacturing fall downs though.

They do @ 3.8GHz @ 1.65v

Yeah they can be hot buggers when you start pumping the voltage thru. I think the IHS on mine is slightly concave anyway - time to lap

Hiya,

That is actually UV Red tubing available from dangerden.com (and lots of stores that stock Danger Den products).
