Can't go wrong with any, some have spacers so the "special" kids amongst us wont break their PCB.
I have the EK one, it has no spacers, but performs like a charm.

im using the koolance and i like it.
yes all blocks will be on par with each other. [honestly get what you think looks the best and which is also easiest to install]
The koolance blocks uses standoff's so does the evga and DD.
In order of my preference would be:
eVGA -> Koolance + DD -> last would be EK because of the experience level required since it has no standoffs.

Looking at the koolance, how would you connect the two together. With the EK and DD blocks they already have fitings pointed downward, the koolance block does not?

I would look to see which of those if the lightest. Seriously. Weight could present a problem the way the GX2 is designed. We discussed this in another thread, but I lost track of it after it went south.

I am using the EK thuogh my mobo is laying flat so I don't have to worry about the card as much.
Temps are awesome Core 1 36c - Core 2 37c
This is the same loop as my 3370 that is around 40c+ per core (crunching 100% per core)
That is my experience thus far, no complaints.

the threads go on the outside thought the side..
If you need barbs pointed down you will need 90 degree fittings..
