Danger Den RBX or Swiftech Apogee GTX

[The boy 4rm oz]

It's about time for me to order my water cooling components and was just wondering which CPU block I should get. the Danger Den RBX or Swiftech Apogee GTX?
I have gone for the Swiftech MCW- 60 over the Danger Den block to cool my 8800GTX because the Danger Den block is quite bad and overpriced.
The only thing left is my CPU. So what do you think? Danger Den or Swiftech?

Apogee GTX. It's what I'm going to get when I watercool. I'm also getting the MCW60 for my X1600PRO (and eventually 8800GTS).

i second mal, swiftech all the way! i'm getting the Apogee GTX once i get my computer first. and i'm getting the Steath 8800 series block if they ever restock it.

I've read that that block isn't all that good. Apparently the MCW60 is a lot better for the price.

pretty much the only reason i picked it was because it was the only full block from swiftech and cheapest price for a full block. i don't plan on changing cards any time soon and when its only i will just add a second one. once i'm actually ready to change over to water i will for sure do more research on what i'm getting.

Yeah, I suppose if you want a full block then that's what you should get. I like the look of full blocks more, but I can't justify the cost on looks alone.

I read a review where they compared the MCW-60 and the Danger Den 8800GTS block. The MCW-60 cooled about 2 degrees cooler than the Danger Den version. The MCW-60 only costs me $99.00AUS with the G80 expansion plate plus another $50.00 for all of the extra heatsinks I have to buy for the RAM and Mosfets. Thats a saving of $76.00 over the Danger Den block ($225.00AUS)

Price isn't an issue with the CPU block. The RBX costs $100.50 and the Apogee GTX costs $109.00, theres not alot of price difference. If you guys think the Apogee GTX is the way to go I'm more than happy to follow your recommendation.

Not pressuring you guys for a final answer but I really need to know because the stocks on the Apogee get filled in a few days and if I need to order one I want to make sure I can get it.

got some links for me please?

Swiftech (don't have direct link on site)

It says the Swiftech can do 100W of heat but I don't know about the Danger Den.
The Danger Den looks cool with the acrylic top but I have a feeling that it's not that secure.

I'm still going to say GTX. I just read that it performs better than a TDX, and isn't the TDX better than the RBX?

Either way, I'll be getting the GTX.

[The boy 4rm oz]

The RBX is meant to cool better than the TDX because it has duel outlets allowing more coolant to run across the CPU there fore cooling it more effectively.

I may just go with the Apogee GTX because it saves me ordering from 2 stores.

see i don't get that unless you run 3/8 in and 3/8 outs out into a 1/2 Y then isn't the water blocked but the Y?

i saw GTX for performance and looks.
thats a lot of cooling with all those pins.

The two outlet are the same size as the inlet RBX. means double the amount of coolant can be removed.

I think I am going to be going for the Apogee GTX. It looks cool, cools well and is easier for me to order and pay for.

but there is only 1 inlet (the same size no doubt) so you can only shove so much in or out at one time. at least thats what makes sense to me.

oh be sure to get pictures! (one of the surface of the heat sink if you can.)

[The boy 4rm oz]

I will when I get my order in. I will post the pics in my work log, Project LEXA.
