Personally i think the new EK Velocity is super clean and sexy looking. But from the provided list I like the corsair more... much more. TT looks like cheap plastic riced up with RGB (ok sorry TT I actually like and use some of your products)

i plan on using a big mix of both thier products. My case is the TOWER 900 by TT. I might have rgb fittings by TT. Power supply by corsair. Corsair commander pro for fan controll. TT radiator. ECT

OMG RGB fittings lol well then the round RGB of the TT block could be a nice fit also

I tried so manny different colored coolants... i had corrosion... stuck color and so on and so on.. but aqacomputer DP ultra I can let run for 2 yrs 24/7 and have ZEROOOO coloring, corrosion, annything. Flush once with Destiled and the rig is as new.

 

But i digress... I have looked at the TT RGB fittings and now i am leaning towards the TT Block for the combination.

The block alone HELLNOO get Corsair or even better EK Velocity

Corsair Obsidian 750D but modded to accomondate the res and pump 

There you go:

This is an old picture. I got a 420 in top now and a VII and two V64 replacing the 2x 290x but the basic loop setup is the same

You can get them with an OLED display that gives temperature.  If you have the money and want to push things to the edge of performance, you can get a solid silver block as well.

Personally I'd want to avoid plastic and go with a full metal block, but it's your baby.  You might do some research into whether either or those blocks is prone to having the plastic crack.  I got concerned after seeing a few photos of cracked plexi blocks.

i habe my supremancy evo for 6yrs now and nothing happend. They only crack when you thighten down your fittings to much.

[bkrownd]

Can you tighten them too much for the plexi with just your fingers, or are silly people taking wrenches to them?

Thats quite nice though i would have to paint it black to sort of fit.

Between those two choices, Corsair. The tt block is completely random. Would need to fit a specific build for me to ever use it.

^^^ That TT block is horrid, Corsair is more bearable. IMO the Heatkiller IV is one of the best though, and EK blocks can be pretty aesthetically pleasing too.

why is it horrid? i dont really understand why people hate it so much

[Mick Naughty]

Doesn’t look like anything that should be in a pc or related to it. 

Another reason to wc is it to be visually pleasing. Or you can just get one from Ali express if that’s the case. 

 

Some people like it though, like many ugly products. Like an msi gpu.
