Which would be better for a Q6600, the Apogee GTZ, or Heatkiller R3 775LT?

Probably the HK but they are both very good and close performance wise.

heat killer

The heatkikiller is a better Waterblock, but according to this test:

The Apogee GTZ will only cool your CPU 1 degree celcius less.

Its ok, it really doesn't matter. They are both very close it wont matter which way you go.

Heatkiller. With out a doubt. You saw the review, here is a poll I did a while back. I actually added all the heatkiller votes together in the in for my personal results. It doesnt matter the version, because they are all so close to the same. Its the company that won, and the blocks all do great. Hope it helps.

Look here.

Is the Heat killer very restrictive though because im going with a pump/res combo. The pump isn't THAT bad but its not good for super restrictive loops.

 

[That_guy3]

I will be the oddball here and vote for the GTZ.

 

[nafljhy]

the HK is less restrictive than the GTZ and will perform better. so go for the HK

 

[motoray]

HK or nothing!

 

[richardbb85]

HK all da way, cooling mine pretty good with a near perfect cpu block seating

 

[nafljhy]

haha.. HK or nothing? what i'd give for another stinger.

Bump, would the Heatkiller work well with my set up that I posted above?

 

[ChielScape]

heatkillers work well on any setup

sorry I meant would it be restrictive due to the pump/res combo.

 

[ChielScape]

sure, works great.

EDIT: wait, which combo exactly? XSPC has several and if its not the one i thought it was you may be better off with a heatkiller 3.0 LC.

 

[DennisC]

You should get a separate pump because the pump in the res is not so good.

The XSPC Dual bay Reservoir / Pump combo.

I've heard that the pump in there is fine for a CPU only loop like mine, and if I ever upgrade to GPU and more I can then buy another pump.
