Legit Reviews -- Danger Den’s DD-GTX480 all copper water block is one very nice addition to my EVGA GeForce GTX480 video card. Not only did it help cool the card better, but it also managed to eliminate the noise from the horridly loud stock fan. That in and of itself warrants the $135 price tag the all copper version we tested today carries. When it came to performance by water cooling the GeForce GTX 480 we were able to drop stock load temps from 92C to 49C, which is a drop of 47%. Reducing your temperatures by nearly half is amazing and anyone that is thinking about getting a GeForce GTX 480 should consider water cooling as an option as it really is nice. You get lower noise levels, possibly increase the longevity of the video card and are able to overclock it farther than you could on air for even better performance. Danger Den has done a great job on these blocks and you can tell from the second you pick the water block up that it you made a solid investment...

TweakTown -- Since the days of old have long gone, things change, as did Danger Den’s lineup of things available to cool or house your components. Originally, Danger Den had a few chassis’ in their listings, like the Tower 16, 21 and 26, along with Torture Racks and Air Box cases. These are all acrylic builds that offer both the ability to show off your components as well as a sense of accomplishment in the build process. The Black-Series of chassis’ is an evolution on some of the previously mentioned “Tower” cases.
I received the “Bruiser” variation of this case. The standard version is the “BiPolar” which is all clear and black acrylic pieces. For an additional fee, there are seven other versions to choose from. With a name like Bruiser, the black and blue theme is most fitting. I say we get down to business and throw the Bruiser into the ring and see where this Black-Series Tower 21 contends against our previous samples.
techPowerUp -- Danger Den is considered to be one of the best companies around when it comes to high performance watercooling hardware. Taking a similar approach used on their previous Tyee waterblock, Danger Den designed a full coverage waterblock for the Radeon HD 2900 Series, the DD-29XT. The waterblock and can cool both the GPU, Memory and Voltage Regulators efficiently and promises dramatic results.
OCModShop -- Yes we have another review for a Danger Den product, by now I dont even need to tell you that Danger Den is one of the main water cooling manufacturers in the USA. In this review Im going to have a good look at a new product from Danger Den, their new fillport. A what? A fillport, it is basically a port connected to a barb sealed of with a hex nut, which you use to fill and bleed your water cooling loop without opening your case.
OCModShop -- The accelerator nozzles on the RBX are a very interesting concept. They allow the end user to adjust the water flow through the block to best suit the rest of the cooling system. The accelerator nozzle kit contains four precut nozzles and one blank for your own design. The #1 nozzle is the only one included with the block but the nozzle kit is fairly inexpensive considering the adjustability and performance tweaking it allows.
Madshrimps -- Danger Den continues to be an innovator in water cooling. Their
NV-68 Rev. 1.1 GPU/memory water block is a massive H20 copper cooler
designed specifically to tame the nVidia 6800 line of graphic cards.
Incorporating both GPU and memory cooling this is bound to be an
Overclocker's dream. Madshrimps bolts this baby to a BFG 6800GT PCI-ex OC
(370MHz core speed) and tests the NV-68 in linear as fed from a PolarFLO TT
CPU-water block. In this respect we will also measure performance difference
(if any) from single, then twin outlets (ports).
Geek Extreme -- With my recent purchase of a X800XT AIW from the trusty Newegg, I decided to take advantage of my newly constructed watercooling setup by investing in a Danger Den Maze 4 GPU waterblock and ramsinks. I ordered the waterblock from Danger Den's website and some generic copper ramsinks. This review will be more of an observations and experiences of the utility and use of watercooling your GPU than that of a waterblock comparison.
ClubOC -- Some people think that water cooling can be dangerous, hard to put together, and unreliable, but Danger Den has been active in the water cooled PC market for years, and speaking from personal experience I have yet to experience any kind of failure from a product they have either manufactured or carried over the course of 5 years. Starting from the first design of the Maze waterblock, Danger Den has continuously sought after improving its efficiency year after year, and now has become known as the TDX. Sure a few months back we tested a TDX of the Pentium 4 variety, but we're here today to relive the glory of the TDX on a Socket 939...
