Bitspower or EK?

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

So how about Bitspower fittings and crystal link tube and EK waterblocks?

 

I have a set of EK waterblocks waiting to be installed right now, they are really good quality and packaged nice from initial overview, their fittings are excellent also but I did notice EKWB uses aluminum compression rings for their compression fittings which I expected to be brass but shouldn't be a problem as long as someone doesn't strong arm it in place.

 

I've seen some bitspowers fittings and other products but haven't had them in person however but I do know they are very well made. For their crystal link if you want to do hardline I do suggest to compression version of the hardline fittings that compress and oring onto the hardline.

Should I buy all bitspower fittings, tubing and blocks or all EK fittings,tubing and blocks?

Which one? Give reasons please.

Poll will be up also. :)

 

Both are excellent, Bitspowers is regarded as the premium or leader in fittings and watercooling but with that also comes with the extra price tag, EKWB does have the benefit of having a wider selection of waterblocks.

I think that EK have the prettier blocks. They look cleaner IMO. 

 

Fittings, tubes and rads i'm not sure on.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

If you have specific questions you can message @EK Luc who is an industry affiliate on the forums.

  

Just throwing another option out there..... Monsoon has some really nice looking fittings if you want it to be flashy.
