i'm very excited for this. and it's more compatible CPU wise than the otherwise excellent Alphacool product, plus it looks better in a way that screams performance...tho' i'll be (and more importantly HH) seeing about that later.

If you will go with this combo or this Fluid Gaming be sure you will be only using aluminium radiators, you don't want to mix metals like Copper and aluminium, you can mux copper and nickel but not aluminium Hope this helps Thanks, Jura

Hi there I think yes GPU, CPU and radiator plus fittings are all aluminium based and therefore you shouldn't use Copper or nickel based radiator, fittings etc Hope this helps Thanks, Jura

Hi there If you on air with Vega then I would suggest have look on Raijintek Morpheus II cooler, few people running this cooler on their Vega cards and temperatures are good at around 50's I have run same cooler on my Titan X SC with 1469MHz OC and with this cooler I have seen usually 42-45°C with fans running at 1100-1200RPM Hope this helps Thanks, Jura

thank you for being so very thoughtful. i do have a Vega 56 (xfx...bought during a window of sanity at regular price) with an EK waterblock on my threadripper system. but otherwise i'm using a gtx 1080ti founder's (evga) with an EK block. this is in a ryzen 7 1700 system with a custom EK loop and i have no regrets. my laptop (Kaby Lake i-7) has a gtx 1070 (full chip).
