Here's the WACC P/A. A review can be found at Overclex.com (Translated)... This thing is "VERY" tall and it takes a bit of imagination to find a proper place to put a thing like that... Maybe it can serves as a pillar to support the roof!

I have the 450mm WACC res, they make good stuff

Still building my pc so I havnt had a chance to try it yet though, probably be another month or two before I get it done

Looks good and worthy of investigation I reckon.

Have ordered the 1000mm WACC resevoir and their CPU cooling block and am looking forward to arrival and install. I'm hoping to go passive with my current XP2400+ and 'soon to be' San Diego/Venice A64 upgrade.

However... I've have had such a crappy 24 hours with comps. and tinkering... and things going wrong (and being unfathomable), I think I might wait till 'The coast is clear'...

Will report back as soon as I have... well, anything to report.

They're Al though, right?

Yep... but anodised inside and out...

And in a choice of colo(u)rs.

(Though the same on the inside and out

)

Not too crazy about even anodised Al myself. Still though, a pair of the 550s might serve as a nice substitute to the uninsulated copper waterheater tank I've basically given up trying to get ahold of for my project (link). I could always setup a sacrificial anode.

Excuse my stupidity (

)... but what does it matter if the metal is encassed in a substance that is irrelevant to galvanic corrosion ?

Nothing is hardly ever perfectly anodised.

The WACC CPU block is Aluminium cored, maybe for that very reason...

DrCR · Post by **DrCR** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:29 am

Probably, and it's cheaper too.

Hum, I'm still half-way tempted to get a piar of WACC1000s though. Would be and ongoing chemistry experiment if I do indeed go for a Storm G5 or even a G4 to an extent. Choices, choices lol.

Just about to add my WACC CPU block to my loop in place of my Innovatek XX-Flow2 low profile thingy... slight upgrade (?) to 10mm tubing in some places and shortening where poss... though I'm an engineer(ish) and am unlikely to trim back to bare minimum... more likely to be 'needed length' + 'some to make sure' + 10-15%... and a little bit more to make doubley sure...

The fact that I still have 3M+ spare and it's only pence per metre has absolutely nothing to do with it........... I'm just making sure...

Will report back the

or

soon in my other botched thread.

That is a botched thread lol.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Does anyone have one of the WACC waterblocks? The photos show a copper waterblock, even though the (mangled) English says aluminium.

As can be seen two posts above yours, I have one, they are indeed Aluminium. Replacement copper slugs with a slightly different design can be bought elsewhere.

Aluminium blocks aren't a stupid idea when you have an Aluminium resevoir.

Performance wise my standard WACC block achieves the same CPU temps as the copper Innovatek XX-Flow rev2 I had before.

As for your "No radial features" comment in your other post... What's Not radial about the design?.....
