Hey Guys, i just want to see the community's opinion on these 2 blocks, both seem to have great performance and the prices are almost equal give or take.
so i thought i would just create a thread to see how people feel.
i plan on buying the GTZ myself sometime this week, unless someone changes my mind
Both come in both 775 and 1366 flavors, although depending upon where and how you buy it, you may have to buy an hold-down plate if you go 1366, but most stores are selling the 1366 plate and waterblock together now.
Martins ( http://martin.skinneelabs.com/ ) did a wonderful side by side comparison while doing the GTZ review ( towards the end of the review, However i suggest you read the whole thing through).
Performance seems to be quite similar, the V2's pressure drop, as shipped, does top the GTZ, but the GTZ isn't horribly restrictive either.
