good block for 775?

I'm currently leaning towards a DD TDX 775 myself. I was thinking previously of getting a Polarflow TT solid copper, but haven't been able to find anyone or any articles that gave it high marks....
 
tdx775 is a sweet block
So is the Swiftech 6002

Cathar seems to have the best blocks around (g4/g5) but the price 100-120usd is a little high for me
 
wow i was looking around the net for a good one and i ran across this!!! its for socket a but i think im gonna atempt to build my own.... already got the dimensions figured out.

That... Is by far... One of the funkiest looking CPU waterblocks I think I have ever seen...

I'd tap that =D.
 
I'd bet that block performs like a four pronged pile of cow dung...would kill flows and think of all the y connectors you would need as well.
 
I'd like to point out that that site has not been updated in 2 years...like the time of the maze 4 or maze 3. There has been quite an improvement in watercooling blocks since then....also that waterblock is very unique and was designed to work in his watercooling system, which is very cool, but is a very low flow system. I wouldn't recommend that design unless you are doing something very similar to him. (Keep in mind that he was cooling a GF3 as his GPU, so nothing besides the cpu really needed much cooling)

Also...autodesk inventor rules ;)

ummm that cpu block was published on 4-28-2004 so it was more like 8 months ago.

Doesn't change the fact that the other things being cooled in his loop are still like a gf3 or gf4, and a bunch of other relatively low heat output items. Also doesn't change the fact that is a specialty block made specifically for his system. It would be absolutely pointless and stupid to create a block like that unless you have a similarly complex setup as he does. Go with the simple three pronged design used in a number of waterblocks if you really want to, but four is just useless and will add a lot of mess to the tubing.
 
im considering building this block because it is pretty... the block that i am designing is going to be quite a bit larger than his too.. and if i decide that i dont like it ill just go and get one of the swiftech 6002's

My point was that if your not watercooling every single component in your system and want it to branch off to four different places then there isn't really much point to the four pronged design. All it will do is add a mess of tubing and y-connectors which will restrict flow.
 
im wanting to cool my proc, northbridge, southbridge, and gcard. i know that it isnt nessasary but i just want to do it mostly for the looks. the res that i am using has 4 holes in it, i i figure that i will use the res as y splitters...
