While Danger Den seeks to perpetuate a turbulence effect, they've accomplished this employing a series of 6 Wave-channels, containing a total of 45 Heat-voids. The concept involves machining the channels and their complementary heat-voids into the block directly above the CPU. It is in these heat-voids where primary impingement occurs. Danger Den lists the block's standard thickness (bottom plate) as 1.27mm or .05". The wave-channels including heat-voids are machined directly into the (bottom plate), leaving a thickness of .64mm or .025" between primary impingement area and CPU. The channels run parallel to the block's length, extending just beyond the area above the core bi-laterally.

Where the Cascade design utilizes "cups" to isolate impingement, Danger Den harnesses the curvature of their heat-voids, located along the wave-channels. The heat-voids isolate impingement, propagating turbulence and the channels direct and expedite water/heat removal. In extending the channels just beyond the area above the CPU-core, the design introduces an antipodean’s flow, such that the heated water is immediately forced to the outlets. The photo below exemplifies the design;





The combination of turbulent impingement, and rapid bi-lateral uptake through twin outlets, make the RBX a formidable contender. However that is not where the design simply, rests on its laurels. For those whom believe the inlet simply "dumps" water into the block, and Dander Den engineer's merely cross their fingers, your sorely mistaken. And added feature of each nozzle is its isolation gasket, which by Danger Den's description prevents "blow-back." Albeit blow-back or impingement isolation disruption, one wants to control the water's impingement down to the very point in the block located directly above the CPU core. The photo below exemplifies this aspect of the design. The gasket not only keep's the intake isolated, but the nozzle resting above the heat-void (cups) ensures maximum isolation is attained;




The design is well executed, as the extruding channel sections direct water-flow diametrically outward, forcing the heated water to the outlets. The intricate detail of the RBX design is impressive. It's an amalgamation of several effective water-block theories. Whether you have a high or low pressure pump the RBX can accommodate either, simply by switching accelerator nozzles. These add an element of versatility, which will suit just about any system needs
