[Andy]

yeah, he is, at the time i recommended it to you, i didn't know, but he's delayed production for a bit :(

[DraGoN-BoY]

Hmmmmm, what to do...... wait? Or choose another water block.:confused:
Think I might wait.

[Cpt.Crappy]

speaking of the cascade, it cost 90 bucks not adding the shipping cause its in aus, and im in the states AHHH DAMN IT!!go to that site i provided and read the reviews, theres about six pages i think but its worth the time i think most of them have some things bad and good..this guy did a good review on all of them....:mad:

Hi Derrick,

Thank you for showing interest in acquiring a Cascade water-block.

Due to demand far exceeding supply and production capacity I regret
to inform you that we have stopped accepting new orders until the
back-log is cleared. Ordinarily we would have placed you onto a wait
list, but the wait list has now blown out to such a state that it is
clear that is it unfair to accept more people until the matter is
resolved.

At this stage, a tentative date of the 1st February 2004 has been set
for the recommencement of the placing of pre-orders.

Sincerely,

Stew.




:cry:
Ohh well. Only over a month wait, thats alright, glad that business for them is at a high.

You could just get a boring ole Whitewater instead. Won't be quite as good as the cascade but it'll still be better than anything else out there.

Its not that boring.
Also, because he is cooling a P4, a WW won't be as effective because the main cooling area is a bit bigger than the size of an amd core. The heat spreader on the p4 will hamper its performance.

"All good things come to those who wait"
I will wait for the Cascade in Jan next year. :D

I have my Cascade order [too bad I don't wish to spend $100 extra for the SS, .5 C isn't a big dea] And please the liquid ninja's review is known to have problems with the difference in load temps vs. idle temps. Discussed over at overclockers but I can't seem to find it in the few minutes I have. The Cascade CAN be shipped to the US, besides its $90USD for the block and less than $10USD for shipping, but prices change daily. I have talked to Stew [Cathar] about this.

Now onto the RBX. The difference in temperatures is not related to the nozzle but the difference in mounting.

for each nozzle type before they can begin to make a judgement on what nozzle is working better, otherwise we get into the situation where someone says that #2 works better than #5 (or whatever), when really all they were seeing was just a mounting variation.

From the one and only Cathar.
