EK's Predator 240 : didn't want a custom loop with limited fittings due to aluminum

 

EVGA's CLC 240:  i like the block more on the deepcool

does the evga clc have advantages over the deepcool clc?

EK Predator is an all-in-one cooler :P Though it is thick so that's going to the front of the case, potentially hurting airflow to the graphics card.

 

EVGA's CLC 240's most notable advantage is full copper construction. It also cools better than the Deepcool

I'm running Corsair Vengeance RAM (NON RGB) with a Noctua NH-D15 and it got about 5 mm of space between the fan and the ram. The DarkRock Pro is a little higher from the base in general so it "should" fit :-)

with my low tdp chip i'd probably don't need to run both fan on it either.... giving extra room

@Jurrunio what do you think of the XSPC kits?

no experience on that, I'm not a watercooling guy myself.
