D-Tek Fusion v1 vs Fusion v2

[miggs78]

I am looking to purchase one over my Apogee GT. Prob is last time I opened to clean, the screws threads got all done with, so can't really open the screws.

Is the Fusion v2 really any better than the version 1.

[enaberif]

nope.

like 2 degree difference.

All in all, not really. although, the mounting mechanism (pro mount) is a nice addition, the old v1 mount was a pain.

So, if you manage to find a good price on V1 go for it, but make sure there is a pro mount on it. If not, for equal pricing, you are as well to buy the V2.

What kind of pump do you have? How many blocks in the loop? The V1, as long as you don't use the more restrictive inserts, is much less restrictive than the V2, so if you have a weak pump or a long loop, the V1 might be a better choice.

Currently my loop consists of a D5 pump (MCP 655), Apogee GT, 2x Black Ice GT240 Rads. The second Rad only because I wanted to put my 4870 under water with a EK 4870 Full Cover Block, until it passed away before I could do anything to it, so it is on RMA.

Thanks.

With that pump, I'm thinking go for the V2 if you can find it for a good price. But even the V1 is a great waterblock, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. But as mentioned above, definitely try to get it with the Pro-mount kit - it's a big improvement.

Well somebody did offer me a Fusion V1 w/ pro-mount, hopefully he still has it. Thanks MpG.

I got a quick question, someone offered me a hek of a deal on the Fuzion V1 BNIB, it is kind of a hard to pass offer, can I buy the pro-mount kit alone all by itself, or is it only available with the block?

Thanks.

I think you can buy the kit alone.

Petra's Tech Shop

I can't find it anywhere else other than Petra's. (I didn't look much though )

First place that came to mind, but out of stock.. I'll see if I can find it, otherwise I might be stuck to either buying a Fuzion V1 w/promount as they sell it nowadays, or opt for a version 2.

edit: Performance-pcs have it in stock also. I wish some canadian e-tailer carrries it..
