Definitely good info!

Did you test the 380i in a 90 degree orientation? That usually nets another 1-2c in cooling.

Nice work

I'll have to try the jetplate 2 - my 4770K showed rotated CPU-380 clearly better than the supremacy (I only tried the last JP). But I am about to do a retest so it's good timing to try that.Originally Posted by Moonmanovich
-Each water block is tested in the optimal mounting position (either as designed or rotated 90° CCW). You can find detailed orientation piece on XS Forums.
-Results for Phobya UC-2 LT are way better than in my first roundup (on XS). First water block was defective, had a little bow in it's base so I ordered a new one.
-Haswell results for Koolance CPU-380I are worse than in my first roundup. I retested it 8 times and results were confirmed. I believe that this (new) 4770K has a different IHS, more concave. Will try to borrow another 4770K from a friend or just buy a 4790K and try my luck, need gems![biggrin.gif]()
-The best jet for EK Supremacy are J2 (1mm) for Haswell and J1 (0,8mm) for Ivy Bridge-E.
Speaking of rotated orientation, you guys really need to take pictures of what you mean. I opened up the 380i and checked the jetplate orientation and this seemed most logical to me based on that and the 4770k die orientation:
Excuse that ridiculous angle but you get the point.

Yeah that's what I call "rotated" and that worked best for me on z87 and x79.Originally Posted by geggeg

Ya, that makes sense given the jetplate inside. But I have seen a lot of people say the 90 degree orientation is the other way round instead (Koolance writing perpendicular to ram slots is how they describe it). Glad this is settled here, but as I said- pics would be great in the future for each block's orientation during the testingOriginally Posted by stren

It's the same! Just different design.Originally Posted by dodgethis
Thanks for the comparison. Just wondering, bu how similar is the newer EK Supremacy Clean compared to the Supremacy, in terms of performance?
Thanks for posting this round up here, Moonman (+rep!).
How comes the Apogee XL performs worse than the HD? To me it looks like it has more microfins, but perhaps the flow inside the waterblock is not optimal or there's a contact issue. I loved TIM photos of SkinneeLabs reviews
