heh, coincidentally I was checking their site just yesterday, nothing there by then. I'd probably go with one of their blocks again if I upgrade to Turing.

Functional work of art. While I like AIO solutions over full custom loops, I love how those blocks look.

so sexy.
i'll just have to wait. my 1080ti/monitor combo is fine until one of them dies. actually, it's going into it's 3rd build...
from x99 to x399 to x399 matx...
i spent all of the rtx 2080ti ducats on a 2950x...i think i'll get a better return and usage lol.

If I would be getting RTX and waterblock then for sure I wouldn't get EK, have 3 of EK blocks, they perform pretty much good, no issues, just their look or quality etc is not the best if you are comparing to Phanteks or Heatkiller or even Barrow or Bykski which do looks better and perform within 1-2°C as max
Used like Phanteks or Heatkiller blocks and still prefer to use them if I could, used few times Barrow or Bykski and they been faultless and temperatures has been similar like with EK blocks
Hope this helps
Thanks, Jura

Just remember you get what you pay for with watercooling. Even if you don't get leaks (which most of the big Chinese brands like Barrow and XSPC are pretty good about now), the quality of the metals used can be an issue. If a Barrow block costs 1/2 what a Bitspower or EK one does, they had to get that savings from somewhere, and the quality/purity of the copper and nickels used is likely where. Lower quality metals have more impurities that can leech into your fluids and clog the microchannels in the loop over time.
I am not saying that you SHOULDN'T use Barrow or XSPC stuff, but if you do, be diligent about your loop maintenance.
