Impresssive results, didnt expect to have such high flow rates as compared to the swiftech blocks, looks like this is the new block to beat

This would be a great block for you seeing as you are running a pretty restrictive loop. This will help you with flow and also not make your pumps work so hard.

Yeah, the copper top help with the thermal performance a little bit.
I'm not sure about the AX series, the last time I heard they were working on the EO series, all copper with remove fan shroud but it never hit the market. In the other neck of the wood, Bunddy is usually get his hands the prototype first. He has the connections.

Kenny, they have to ship a case to Tony for review, so I asked them to include the new AX360

Nice!!! Can't wait for Tony's review on it... I've read just bits and pieces of information here and there about it.
But was really looking for some solid info about it.. The AX series is suppose to be superior to the RX series radiators but not have a large profile.
