XSPC New Water Block - Raystorm

[JesseLactin]

I'm really glad I took Electronics. I have access to LEDs. Thinking about how it would look with green LEDs.

It can be problematic if the nut is wide (most are). I saw a block with less than 1mm of clearance between each compression's between them. It's always good to check for clearance.

found an issue w/ the EK HF block and 3/4OD compressions:

Oh I see what you mean now I thought you meant thread size. you might have to use one 45* and a normal strait one if the inlet and outlet are to close together to fit two strait fittings.

LOL.

Not just that. My dad knows people in the trades. My uncle is also an electrician. 6-figures ($100,000+) per year at 24 sounds pretty sweet to me. If I took Electronics to get LEDs, I'd be dumb.

great looking. if they perform as good as they look one is going into my next rig for sure!

 

[AdrianD2]

Are those channels thinner on the raystorm? How thin can they get lol?

 

[mayhem]

Apparently they are thinner and deeper yes. So should perform much better than competing blocks how ever till reviews are done know one knows as Paul hasn't released any stats.

I asked paul if i could get one to test on aurora but hes says it should work fine as in my comparison tests we tried out the 370 from koolance and this is the same except its deeper in the base.

So that should give you some indication of its performance.

soon

also, i just literally purchased an RS360 kit today, would the raystorm waterblock fit as a replacement? (amd)

 

[mayhem]

yes you could do.

 

[Ravious]
