Uhm, so far everyone has posted their favorites, and the thread is sort of going nowhere. You will have to choose your own waterblock based on your own preferences. In a multi-block loop, most people prefer an Apogee GTZ or Fuzion V2. However, there is no substitute for an Ek Supreme paired with a strong pump. I would personally call an Ek Supreme because it can be paired with the NB just fine, with a good strong pump. If you plan on using one loop for the Ek Supreme though that is best. My final vote goes for Ek.
well neither is the rad (any for that matter) But you didn't jump on Waterlogged for suggesting a different rad :up: on the basis of restriction???Quote:

I used an EK supreme in a build for my girlfriends brother... I was not impressed with the temps it returned after many remounts... maybe it was just a lemon...
First of all, thanks everyone for the help!
I am going to measure up the maximum thickness radiator I could fit in the roof of my NZXT Tempest tonight, and that might effect my block choice, as the mounts of the EK and Delta V3 will reduce my space by a few mm.
I haven't bought the Stealth 240 yet and can't find it in stock anywhere in the UK. I am hoping I can fit in the Swiftech MCR220 or XSPC RS240, and a block with mounts like the Swiftech GTZ.
Right I ordered the Swiftech Rad and GTZ! fingers crossed it will all fit in :D

Been a good combo for me so far, GTZ + 2x MCR220. VGA in a few weeks I'm hoping.Quote:

Your temps are more likely due to the BIX helping out. ;)Quote:

I vowed never to use it after that test but recently broke that vow only because I didn't like feeling I'd wasted my money on it. I was quickly reminded why I made that vow and it is again sitting idle with the rest of my spare parts. "Stealth" is an oxymoron. Will it cool?...Yes. Will it do so quietly?....No. Will it cool with weak fans?.....No. This rad is simply not aimed at the majority of the XS crowd. It's for the newb that gets caught up in all the fancy marketing terminology that H.W. Labs loves to throw around.
The DD MC-TDX is a nice block and you can get the copper top from a TDX and avoid worrying about acrylic. Gets kinda steep for a CPU block that way though. Looking at about 75 bucks. A D-Tek Fuzion v2 is about 60, while a EK supreme is around 70. I'm still waiting for Martin to finish those thermal tests, but considering popular knowledge - if they all perform more or less the same, and it's a multi-block loop, your next choice is: what scheme do i want?
