New Blocks from Danger Den

[coolmiester]

Its going to take a day or so to get these booked in and onto the shelves but we'll do our best to sort it out asap but just thought i'd give you a glimpse of the new Koosah and TDX AM2 blocks.

They all have the new Hi-Flow G1/4 barbs which look pretty nice as well.

The Koosah is an ultra thin version GPU block compatible with the 7800/7900 GT & GTX Single and SLI configurations measuring in at 14mm thick in comparison to 18.5mm of the NV-78

I thought exactly the same mate :D

[koola]

Very nice blocks. Looking forward to the results ;)

Do you reckon these Koosah blocks will perform better or worse compared to a 'standard' NV78 given that there must be quite a difference in the amount of copper used?? Will is transmit the heat from the gpu more efficiently to the water?

[coolmiester]

I think they will perform exactly the same.

The Koosah weighs in at 485g where as the NV-78 is 580g but the copper is the same thickness, its the plexi that's been reduced in thickness to 5mm from 9.5

It's got to be a good thing having 95g less load on the GFX card

Hi and welcome to the forum btw

Paul,
Are those your pics or DangerDen"s?
Just curious because all the new G1/4 barbs that I've ordered (as recently as 2 weeks ago) had the "Perfect Seal" barb end- i.e., the thin ring around the barb end- as opposed to the long tapered end that the older 9/16-18 "Hi-flo" barbs featured.

It really is getting so confusing to be honest i'm starting to loose track myself.

A little barb history lesson which might help.....

Way way back in the beginning Danger Den started off with 1/4" NPT thread - this was mainly the old Maze3, Z Chip Blocks and early Maze4 and RBX Blocks.

Then not too long ago Danger Den came out with the Hi-Flo Barbs which have a 9/16" thread and were pretty much only compatible with their own Hi-Flo Blocks so the practical thing at the time was to have all HardwareLabs radiators that were distributed by Danger Den also manufactured with 9/16" fittings.

Realising the European influence of G1/4 thread, Danger Den then introduced the 1/4" Perfect Seal Barb which obviously had a 1/4" thread so was interchangeable with European kit such as Innovatek and Alphacool and also kept everyone on their toes as all HardwareLabs radiators then resorted to the G1/4" thread.

The latest offering from Danger Den is a Hi-Flow Barb with a G1/4 thread most of the new blocks coming out of the Danger Den camp will have this type of barb and keeping in line HardwareLabs new Stealth GT have also turned to this thread.

The problem being is that Danger Den have to stagger the release of new blocks with new barbs, which in turn has an even greater impact on companies such as ourselves who already have the older stock on our shelves so things do start getting somewhat complicated to say the least.

Having said that, all blocks with Perfect Seal barbs can obviously be changed to the new Hi-Flow barbs as both uses the standard G1/4 thread.
