Introduction:


Maze 5 CPU Water Block

When I first became interested in water cooling, just about every forum seemed to have either DangerDen or Swiftech in all of the discussions. Much of the discussion involved two major components, radiators and water blocks. This is mainly because the two go hand in hand for the best cooling results. You can't cool the CPU with a good water block alone if the radiator isn't capable of cooling the water quick enough. And it's an outright shame to use a better cooling system if you intend on using a really weak CPU cooling block. We want nothing but the best cooling possible. Some users like a well machined, polished housing block while the other side likes the well machined, clear, more modified water blocks. At the end of the day, the two giants aren't so different and neither are their followers.


DangerDen MC-TDX

Nothing says, "My computer rocks!" quite like a sweet looking water cooling system. And it gets better and better as all the blocks evolve. This has been true for just about every water cooling manufacturer.  We've seen plenty of water cooling kits and cooling blocks come and go. And it's just as interesting today as it was the first day water cooling made its appearance. DangerDen has come a long way in offering arguably the greatest Lucite cooling blocks. However, we've never had the privilege of testing anything from DangerDen up until now.

DangerDen has been kind enough to send two of their latest and greatest water blocks to join the ranks of the elite. Today, we have the MC-TDX and Maze 5 CPU Water Blocks under the spot light. And much of their supporting cooling components such as, radiators, pumps, tubing, and reservoirs have also improved. Have a look at the Maze-5 and MC-TDX water blocks. Then after, check out the rest of their gear and see if it doesn't make you want to be really "cool".
