Ok... you got me on that one :/
Let me start over. There are two main differences between the PolarFLO and the rest of the water blocks out there in the world. The first difference is the flow arrangement. Many blocks on the market now are "cross-flow" type blocks. This means that the water enters one side of the block and crosses to the other side and along the way runs against some type of convection inducing geometry. Our PolarFLO is a "jet-impingement" type flow arrangement. Hydrodynamically speaking this flow arrangement allows for what is known as fully developed flow. The flow reaches its maximum velocity at this fully developed region. From there it strikes or impinges the convection inducing geometry and the lion's share of the heat transfer occurs. This concludes the first reason why our PolarFLO is better. Simply stated: the PolarFLO's use of direct jet impingement flow is more reliable and more performance yielding.
Reason number two is more subjective but it still has some teeth. Reason number two is simply that it looks better. A PC enthusiast is able to select a more defining sense of self with the variety of color and industrial plating options available to the polarflo. Sure we have the old blue color, but we also have black, green, red and purple. Then we have all sorts of platings (not decorative platings these are heavy industrial platings) in 24k gold, chrome and copper. It doesn't really end there when you consider that we also have 3/8" or 1/2" fittings or a combination of the two.
PolarFLOs are available in Canada... see
www.polarflo.com we ship internationally. Even some of our resellers ship internationally.
This is only the beginning. Wait until you see our GPU water blocks, our Fan Mount Jigs (a tool that allows precise location of fan patterns) and our new manifold system for proper water distribution. There's even more I cannot tell you, but you'll see soon enough.
Hope this helps your decision... wait for Jason's review. I just spoke with him and he told me that it will be up sometime this week.
Did the pictures help?
Best to all.
