Today we take a look at some interesting looking waterblocks from Polarflo.
They sent us their basic system kit which we will test and see how it performs.
This block seems to be pretty popular here in Sweden now after some testing so it will be interesting to see what it does.

The product:

The block came packed in a little white box and they were all wrapped in foam for max protection.
Inside we found these paper manuals and accessories such as hose clamps, mounting screws, etc etc.

Here we have the GPU block to start with. It's fairly small but has a thick copper base as we can see.
I think the blocks are very nice looking compared to most waterblocks that are either just plain copper color or silver.
The blocks I have for testing came with 3/8 fittings. These blocks are very solid and it's almost impossible to open them up to see
what they look inside. I have seen a few sites that have been able to do it though. I guess it's better that you can't open them
as it shows they won't leak at least.

Here we have a pretty good picture showing the core part of the cpu block.
The copper base could be better but it's not bad. On the side here we see the bigger 3 fitting waterblock which should be able cool of our AMD 64 processor
of pretty good but that is still yet to be seen.
