Currently I have my i5 2500K under water using a XSPC Rasa acetal block , I'm sorely tempted to upgrade to a EK-Supreme HF (nickel/plexi) I'm just wondering if any of you chaps know if I'll see any noticeable cooling performance increase with the EK block. Just for some further info on my loop, it has a 120mm rad, a 360mm rad in push-pull, my 2500k and two gtx570s. the res is a dual bay XSPC res/pump combo
How are your temps at the moment? Those 570s must be dumping some serious heat into it, so a different CPU block is unlikely to make a huge difference...
Ek have a new top end CPU block now, I'm warming to the 70s styling I have the supreme HF, its great but I've never used a rasa so cant compare
my temps range from 26 idle to the mid/low 50's under load with the gpus around the 46-48 mark at load this is all from memory so I may be slighly off
Does it need to be cooler? Given that the maximum thermal temps for the CPU are around 96C and the GPU's are around the same, you've got tons of room for overclocking.
The cpu and both cards are overclocked currently, honestly im just trying to justify buying it for the improved aesthetics
OK then, two questions. Do you show a lot of people the inside of your PC? Do you spend a lot of time looking in there? If you have the funds and can answer yes to either of those then the EK block gets my wholehearted recommendation. If you can't, don't bother
