Summer is coming up and I am planning out a "custom loop" project to my main build. Do you guys prefer EK or XSPC? I would love to hear your thoughts.

I love the look of the EK-Supremancy block, especially the clear ones. Both manufactures are good, so this is a choice of personal opinion on what looks better.

I enjoy the looks of the EK clean blocks more.

They perform on par, so I would go with the company with the better aesthetics. Personally, I love the the Supremacy blocks from EK, but I absolutely hate the XSPC Razor blocks or whatever it's called.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

If you are building a custom loop do NOT limit yourself to one manufacturer. There are many companies out there all making great stuff. It all comes down to personal preference for looks.

EK has great waterblocks, Bitspower has great fittings, XSPC has great resevoirs, Koolance has great quick disconnects, at all depends what you think looks best. They all perform the same.

I have EK clear VRM and SB waterblocks - the M6F blocks - and they look sweet with coloured liquid's flowing through them.

I also have the XSPC raystorm CPU block and that is also awsome, going more for the matt black look there with 4x Red LEDs.

The supremacy is also good, especially with the inter-changable coloured plexi tops.  The main complaint I have with these are the price.
