IS EKWB Good?

Go to solution Solved by Codymm03,

So I am seeing great reaction for EK but there is also quite a few people saying bitspower is better in some area's.

I would consider EK number 1 for waterblocks and reservoirs.

I'd consider bitspower better for res, but imo ek is definitely #1 for Waterblocks.

I say EK is best for res because of how they look TBH. They have the threading on the outside of the res (not all of them, mind you), so the top and bottom cover it, making it look cleaner. 

 

This is what I mean 

 

Bitspower:

In terms of variety, Bitspower has them beat though. I do like how some of their stainless steel style reservoirs look.

I guess everyone has a preference, I prefer bitspower, the end-caps are much smaller and make more of the reservoir the reservoir, less end caps. IMO just looks more professional, the end caps look higher quality imo as well.

 

Not to mention the crazy amount of accessories you can get for them, they make like 4 bazillion options for end caps, res colors, lengths/sizes, tons of pump tops + pump mount stuff.

 

I like ones like this with the pump attached, it looks soooooo clean.

Are the EKWB primochill blood red tubes good.

This is why you make titles that are more specific. Anyway, the tubing in question is from Primochill and EK is just a reseller here. It's good tubing, especially if you are getting the Advanced LRT. Just be aware that the colored tubing can be tough to fit fittings into.

My original question was is ek good and the question that's still up. I got a few people saying it was good so i took the first question off and left this one.
