always liked swiftech cpu waterblocks-this is no exception.

i used to like swiftech but after 2 blocks and 3 backplates i've switched to EK. the plate from the first block was compatable with the 2nd block however the thread in the backplate did not last that long, in total i think mine lasted about 2/3 mounts before they were borderline useless. hope they improved on the old backplate cause EK's backplate quality mops the floor with slightly older swiftech one's. however it must be noted, the replacement backplate was delivered to me for free from the US (to holland) via switech customer support, so definetly kudos to them for that ^^

Strangely enough my homemade block still outperform this ones, not only swiftech. But this one has a good looking though.

I like swiftech a lot but they're stuff has too much branding on it for my aesthetics.. or at least their blocks to be more specific.

I went for the Koolance 380i Cpu block.

hope they improved on the old backplate cause EK's backplate quality mops the floor with slightly older swiftech one's.

Sure hope you'd never need a mop in the world of CPU watercooling. 😀
