The cost a premium that is at least 110% over their own mainstream Velocity block, to my knowledge they are the most expensive production block available.

Cant find any performance test so far.

KitGuruTech has some and I believe they intend to review them.  So far they've only "unboxed" them.

They literally were just released.

 

I didn't fall in love when I happened across the release last week. I'm even less interested at two and a half to almost three and a half times the price of the velocity and the previous supremacy CPU blocks. 

 

I don't think there's gonna be any magic unicorn jizz in these blocks that makes them meaningfully better performers than the velocity line.

 

Consider that the best blocks on the market are arguably Heatkiller from Watercool, and they're what maybe 1-3 degrees better than other offerings the likes of EK.

 

If you like the less minimalist design with $36 trim rings have ate it.

 

I'll make a hard pass.

I think they look like shit. The velocity is a much better looking block, and the performance difference will be negligible.

Ha i thought they were using silver copper alloy for such a higher price point.

I was just looking into the price of silver the other day. These blocks cost more than a 10oz bar of silver from the Royal Canadian Mint...
