Water Block Brand

[Mdgtman91]

What brand do you guys chose for your CPU, GPU, and board water blocks?

I'm looking to get into building a custom loop but I don't know what brands are good or crap. 

[Ghost]

No brands are crap.

 

A good list to start you off is:

 

• XSPC
• Bitspower
• EK
• Aquacomputer
• Watercool
• EVGA
• Mayhems
• Swiftech

But this not all the good brands. It would be much faster if you tell us what you want and we can tell you if its good or not. But be warned, it will most likely be good.

I was looking at EK cause they have all the blocks I would need and I like the idea of them matching

EK has the board block for my Crosshair V Formula Z

and blocks for my Asus 680 and AMD chip

I was mostly wanting to see other options as well and to make sure EK was good

As ghost mentioned, hard to go wrong with most of those brands.

 

I use a Swiftech Apogee HD for the CPU

EK waterblocks for GPU

also an EK waterblock for the RAM

 

 

Can add to the list:
 

• Heatkiller
• Koolance

Block's are generally an asthetic's choice, go with what ever you find the best looking, for me EK.

As all these people said it doesnt really matter.

Hows the Swiftech Komodo block? I almost never see anyone using them.

You cannot force your particular choice of components upon the world.

But watch out for the EK Nickel blocks, there are a lot of rumors regarding corrosion on those blocks.
