I'm torn between the EK Supreme and the D-Tek Fuzion V2, and would like some input.

Here is my setup.

MCP665 (Soon to have the EK Top) --> MCR320 --> Q6600 (@3.6ghz 1.45V) --> MCW60 (Vmodded 4850)

I plan on adding a second MCR320 pretty soon into this loop. I know that there is a lot of restriction on the Supreme, but I'm thinking that with the EK top my pump will be able to handle it... Is a Supreme with a good pump better than a Fuzion V2 with the same pump?

from what i've read the EK will only be better than the V2 if the EK is in its own loop with a strong pump.

Yeah, hopefully the Supreme is better than the V2. The Fuzion has amazing performance, if there's something even better, I'm going away from my Apogee GT right away.

I probably will add my second mcr320 pretty soon, though. So I'll have one MCW60, Supreme, 2 mcr320s (and perhaps another mcr120 for later on). Eventually I'll have 2 loops, but I won't get a second pump for a while.

BTW: Sorry for making another thread about this. I know there are 2 other threads going about this. Didn't realize that before hand.

With your setup, looks to me your best option would be FuZion v2. Quad plate hasn't been proven to help a quad core, then again, it's only @ $5... :shrug:

Yup. But then I'm thinking that I'll eventually run a second MCP665 with a top with only a 320 and a 120 radiator. So I'm sure I'll have decent flow rate. What I'm really curious is how much difference in temps there is between the two. If there is only 1C, then maybe it isn't worth it to get such a restrictive block, and it may just be a difference because of the mount.

get the fuzion, though I think the ek supreme in acyrlic is beautiful.
