Demonic XTC Waterblock Review

Conclusion


The Demonic XTC was a real joy to work with; installation was very easy though I admit that I didn't use the included mounting hardware. The plastic tended to deform under pressure and really made me nervous. Demonic Water Cooling has told me that a better mounting method is in development that should make installations much better.
Benchmarks were very close, but are what I expected. The White Water had a lower temp by two degrees but shows even without velocity nozzles the Demonic XTC waterblock can perform exceptionally well. An accessory kit is in development that should enhance performance and provide us casemodders a few goodies to play with.
The Demonic X.T.C is an excellent waterblock that would make a great addition to any current or future watercooling system. Visit the Demonic Water Cooling website for current pricing and availability.
Now for the ever popular list of Good things and Bad things.
The Good Things
Compact block design
3 barb cooling design
Board mounted block
True polycarbonate top
Hand lapped base
Excellent cooling
The Bad Things
Lacks high-velocity nozzles (replacements in development)
Plastic mounting hardware (Due to be replaced)
Requires mounting holes
