XSPC Delta V3 CPU Water Block w/Acetal Top

Introduction

Over the past few years, computers have become more and more powerful that it’s becoming a major problem to keep them running cool using conventional air cooling, and when you toss a computer enthusiast into the mix, it’s almost impossible to keep these new processors running happy and cool.

So enter the world of water cooling. Once it belonged to only a select few of the most brave and daring of computer enthusiasts who risked life, limb, and their most cherished possessions to keep their beloved CPU a few degrees cooler the rest of the world, by building by hand and modifying whatever they could find to run a cooling system inside their rigs that cooled beyond a conventional enthusiasts dreams, using what is feared by all, enthusiasts and electronic components alike, “WATER”.

What we are going to be looking at today is the new Delta V3 CPU water block from a fairly new company to the USA enthusiast community, XSPC. These guys have been around for several years over in Europe and have been doing fairly well and have been improving their products every year. I’m really excited to give their new block a try and see just how well it stands up to the performance of my current favorite water block from Swiftech.

So, without any further rambling from me, let’s get on with it.
