Ordered a new 13900k and just wanted to know what the best water block is?

 

Has anyone got any yet and how is the cooling?

 

Id prefer one with rgb .

 

I was gonna order the EK v2 block but I’m not sure for the price.

any block that fits lga 1700 should work

 

just grab the velocity1, ek do sell adapter kit for amd (not velocity2)... so in future you can still use the same block if u decide to upgrade

 

imo I would go with heatkiller pro or Optimus cpu blocks

Thanks mate, so they all cool pretty much the same? Been trying to find data on waterblock temps but cpu is so new. 

I’ll be using 3 ek 360 slims , hoping slims will work ok, doing vertical gpu mount so other size won’t fit.  

I’ll check out those other two you mentioned thanks.

Oh man I just seen those.  Full block for z690 hero looks sick.  Would that work in a z790 hero?

Shouldnt. They arent made to go on more than one board normally.

THose look interesting.  Man i wish there was some benchmarks out.   

 

Wonder when we can order any of these blocks for real, not just some pre order thing. 

 

Thanks for the option.

Ok thanks mate.  If they come out with one for z790 hero, i will probably get that.  Just looks so sick.
