My entire loop is also from EKWB and no problems so far.

Got some block for like 50-60€, so that's kinda cheap for that kind of performance :)

Only thing that is turning me off the EK is all the silver mounting hardware, wish you could get it in black.

You could paint it?

Or are you just talking about the screws?

Because the mount is completely black...

EK or Koolance are the best in my opinion.

I think that was discontinued though :( was looking on EKWB site and it was under discontinued

Some retailers or sites like ebay will probably have it available.

Just google

EK-CPU Easy Mount HF - Black

and try to find a place that has some.

Don't think it compatible with the evo block sadly :(

I would make it work. Just takes some screws and washers and a bit of improvisation.

But if you're not into making stuff work for you then just paint your own mounting hardware or pay someone to powedercoat or anodize it for you.
