The Fuzion uses flat rubber seals instead of o-rings. These seals are a product
of injection molding, unfortunately, not all molding slag is removed prior to WB
assembly. The bottom plate seal isn't critical since it is not exposed to water.
However, the inner side of the top seal is completely exposed to water flow.

So, if you plan to purchase a D-Tek, I would suggest you dissasemble it and
remove the slag before installation.

Unless you want this crap in your pumps impeller:

 

[CyberDruid]

I shoulda known you'd have one of those by now

Thanks for the tip!

 

[Dryadsoul]

Yeah, got it for a C2D shootout next month against the V8 and D/O.

 

[CyberDruid]

That oughta be an eyeopener.

Have you tried it out yet? Is it low restriction? I am thinking about downsizing the pumps in my builds...$100 for the MCP 655 is killing me...

Whadday think would a Petra modded d-2 or 3 do it with a Fuzion?

 

[Dryadsoul]

Yeah, it's way low restriction, that Petra modded DDC+ should be just the ticket.

 

[CrazyJoe]

Holy Crap !

Thanks for the heads up Dryadsoul !

I was thinking of letting my block go without disassembling it ... glad I read your post first !

 

[Martinm210]

Yeah, thanks for the tip +1, I'll plan on taking mine apart when it gets here next week.

 

[ira-k]

Thats pitiful....Just goes to show why you need to take them apart and look of r crud...Can't wait for the shoot-out...

 

[DontPassTheFence]

you got me re-tinking my idea of going with the apogee GT .. hmm. I think Ill wait for the shootout to decide 100%

 

[Dryadsoul]

Hey, the original Apogee Extreme had the same problem with mill tailings and broken pins.
And the Fuzion runs top of the world after clean up.

 

[The Fury]

Good stuff. I hate slags

 

[Dryadsoul]

Thats why I swear by Fstfrddys' custom Stinger WB's, after 3 Stingers I hate commecial WB's lack of quality/performance.

Commercial WB's = Planned obsolescence.

Stinger = Eye for detail, longevity out of the box and solid performance.

You and me both....Bowing a base with an O-Ring seems to me like a WB out of a Cracker-Jack box....

...Thin is good but d.............

 

[Litlratt]

Very well said!

Dryasoul you should bring up this thread once in a while, to inform more people, i know you've posted this before, but it should be made a sticky for all the Fuzions being bought now.

Once again great info!

 

[Martinm210]

yeah, wish I listened could have prevented this:

Had the same gasket leftovers in mine too.

All better now though.

 

[DuckieHo]

Look what I found in FuZion CPU block:

my GPU block has the same:

I think it'll be easier to just add it to my sig.

 

[chailvr]

How do I take it apart?

 

[Dryadsoul]

With an allen wrench/hex key.
