Good water block???

That actually doesn't look like a bad block.

It might be a decent performer. It has quite a few fins for heat to be dispersed through.

The only gripe I have with that block is that its a flow killer. It has one inlet and two outlets.

It might be good, we'd need a review on it to see for sure.
 
@Kraken Guy : One inlet and two outlets does not at all make the block a flow killer in any way shape or form. The RBX performs better than the TDX, they are basically the same exact block but the the RBX has two outlets and the TDX has one :rolleyes:

I might be wrong, but looking at that block it looks like an Asetek Antartica waterblock to me. I wasn't aware that coolermaster actually made their own waterblocks since their last debacle with the CoolWater or whatever it was. Recently they have just been rebranding Swiftech gear.

If you are on a budget a cheap no miss waterblock is the Swiftech MCW-6000 or the MCW-6002 depending upon the tubing size you plan on using.
 
I was always under the impression that 1 inlet to 2 outlets was a flow killer? Hmmm. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Nope, it actually helps to improve flow as it provides less restriction coming out of the block. What it does do however is make clean and efficient tubing a pain, which often times makes the extra barb not worth the effort.
 
Point taken. Not many systems using a dual outlet configuration are very well tubed.
 
its not that much of a hassle as far as tubing goes...I own two systems with RBX's they look just as good as my Swiftech Storm. And I have a gpu block attached to one of the RBX systems.
 
1 or 2 outlets working better than the other is still debatable and depends on your over all system. I have 2 systems that use the dual outlet PolarFlo CPU blocks and one system setup with the Storm block. I ended up changing the first PolarFlo system to 1 inlet and 1 outlet as it didn't make a single degree of differance when I was testing. On the TT blocks, I got about a 1c differance in temps using the dual outlets on my Monster rig.
Plumbing a dual outlet system can be a pain, but if you take your time can be done so that it comes out very nice looking. So if you have a dual outlet block, the key to the best performance is to test it to see what works out best for your system.

When I had the White Water block, instead of running the y-adapter, I simply bought a bay res with 2 inlets and ran both lines from the block to the res.

Yes, Coolermaster is now making water blocks.
 
Yep, CM is now the 3,782nd company to make a White Water clone :rolleyes:
As for their AquaTrident block, is looks like it'll perform ok, but not as well as a real White Water even with the same fitting/tubing, because CM's design doesn't push the water stright on top of the copper fins, it just hopes the the flow will be able to push through the existing water inside of the bubble on top of the block, which sounds really bad for a low flow system that this block's tubing is catered towards. I'd recommend you look at another block, even if you are looking at making a low flow loop.
