I typically build high-flow, low-restriction systems with overkill radiator size and low-CFM fans for ultra quiet operation. It seems like every time I find a great low-restriction block it gets discontinued.
Sadly the EK Wave is now unavailable and replaced with a nozzle-based block with high restriction. What block should I switch to? I'm not in love with Danger Den stuff. The D-Tek Fuzion 2 looks pretty restrictive according to Martin's XLS. The Alphacool Nexxos XP might be OK but its copper matrix is so tightly packed that it looks like it will gum up and require cleaning sooner than other designs.
How about the Enzotech Sapphire? Though I prefer a plexi top so I can verify I've gotten all the bubbles out of the corners of the block.
Any ideas appreciated.
