    Top performing blocks for 7i and GTX295?

    I've been out of the loop for almost a year and lost track of all the new blocks for the 7i and the GTX280-295 families.

    Please can anybody post a link to any thread listing the top performing blocks for these?

    Thank you.

    There is such a magical function in this forum as search

    IMO here is the best latest i7 block comparison: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=219081

    About GTX there isn't big choice of blocks atm so it's up to you, but I would go with EK stuff

    Depends on if you are running two loops or not as well, just post a general setup and you can get some help from there.

    no matter on results (at least I wouldn't expect new king here) Heatkiller stuff can't compete with EK especially supreme LT in terms of cost!

    The EK Blocks look soo unprofessional to me. they are'nt even buffed out. You can see where the CNC Machine has carved the whole thing out. And all those groves means that the contact is not as good as it could be. IMO the Koolance block is the best way to go. It's surface has a mirror finish and is baby bottom smooth. Not to mention they are the best looking 295 block out right now.
