Help choosing a waterblock

[chrisnathan]

So I've narrowed it down to four blocks but I'm not sure yet. I didn't want to go with full copper because it would turn green after a while. I like the clean look of EK waterblocks

I'm looking for performance and it not oxidizing. I heard of some issues with EK and nickel but I think they've resolved it or found out that it was because of the silver kill coils. What do you guys think?

How about this?

i would go with the one that fits best in your build style! If you go with black blocks for the rest take the black one. you know what i mean :D

 

i personally think Aquacomputer CPU blocks are sexy

I really dont like ek blocks but if i had to choose, get the one you are leaning towards.

 

if you live in the UK this site is really cool, wish i could buy from them :D

>This< is where you should be looking in my opinion.

I personally like frozencpu, they have great service and choices and prices. I like your fourth choice. I personally have this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14186/ex-blc-971/XSPC_RayStorm_High_Performance_Acetal_CPU_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Intel_Sockets_LGA_1155_1156_1366_2011.html?tl=g30c323s1205#blank It came with a kit, works great and it lights up nicely.

Thanks for the answers, I ordered the full nickel one. Another quick question, where do I get some biocide from since I can't use kill coils?

from the same place you bought the CPU block.

You could use a premix coolant instead.

 

If you believe the scare stories you can get a clear one.
