Six-Way Core i7 LGA1366 CPU Water Block Roundup

Tue 2009-10-27 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

MadShrimps have tested and compared six high-end Intel Core i7 water blocks designed to cool the high-end Intel Core i7 LGA1366 processors.

Here's what they had to say:

"Most blocks are really performing very alike and performance will of course depend on your own setup (tubings, pump used and amount of blocks). It's clear that the European blocks can be very competitive with the big names from abroad. There's no reason to overlook the highest performing block in our roundup : the Heatkiller rev 3.0 and the best price/performance ratio block : the Heatkiller Lc. Double victory for the Watercool company."

Highly overclocked and overvolted Core i7's can easily bring the best air cooler to its knees, even when using two medium speed fans, so water cooling has become a necessity for those truly want to squeeze out every last megahertz from their processor.
