new koolance block

i doubt there would be any temp difference, the only thing i see is the different size inlet hole,

if its an upgrade from the cpu-200g, no its not worth the upgrade...

when i get my a64 this summer do u think it will be worth the upgrade for that, or is it just better to buy the braket for my current block and put it on the a64.
 
id have to see some performance differences before id upgrade. theyre new 1/2 hose supported block makes me curious to see how it will perform. i wonder if theyll make thier other blocks support larger size tubing.

Well the CPU 300S is rated for 300W CPU:s whereas the CPU 200S is rated for 200W CPU:s so there should be a difference there shouldn´t it ;)

I will upgrade my CPU waterblock when I need it. I am quite certain it´s not my CPU cooling that holds back my 2500+
 
That figures. I ordered a 200G on Sunday.

I would surmise that it would make a temperature difference. It's probably more efficient in heat removal.

Which means there would be a temperature difference ;)
 
i doubt you would see a huge temperature drop from ur current 200g.

maybe 1-2c lower, is that worth the $56.99 upgrade?

But how can you even guess it without seeing as little as a single review of someone who have actually used it :confused:
 
The reason for these new blocks is because the CPU-200G would not work with 95% of the new/good A64 Motherboards. There is a row of capacitors on most of the A64 Motherboards which are in the way to properly mount the CPU-200G. Unfortunately I found this out the hard way and had to modify their adapter for the A64 so I could slide the cooler away from the capacitors in order to mount it. Seriously doubt I'm going to spend 56.99 for the new cooler after buying the CPU-200G to fit on a motherboard which wasn't on their list of incompatible motherboards only to find out it won't fit.

I did, unfortunately I didn't buy it directly from Koolance, but from a reseller who wouldn't have the new cooler for about another month from my original time of purchase. Since I purchased an OEM processor I didn't have any other cooling method for the processor other then to modify the A64 bracket so it didn't force the CPU-200G cooler into the capacitors. The modification took about 5 minutes with a dremel and it works fine now.
