Time for the latest (and one of the last) installments for Round 2 of my CPU Block testing....I've been quiet for a few months but testing is back and going full steam ahead and Round 3 is already in advanced planning stages (and the second TIM review is upcoming--still).
Until then, there's new block on the block that needs reviewing, the EK Supreme HF. It's a big update to the Supreme, even if your eyes say otherwise. Lower restriction and better thermal performance are the two main features of the block and, frankly, it doesn't disappoint.
This review has a lot more talking from me (I think) and also my first review with a full suite of pictures! I don't fully go into WHY this block is the best performing block on the market, but maybe I'll post in here why it takes such a big lead
Anyway, if you forgot the testing process, go to the full review, this is the abbreviated version with results (what I know you all care about )!
So, let's cut the foreplay and give you some results:
Conclusion
New king on the block for performance--zero doubt about that. Less restrictive than the HK 3.0 LT/Cu (and therefore a lot less restrictive than the Apogee XT) and better thermally than the Apogee XT (and therefore a lot better than the HK 3.0 LT/Cu). It's not a flawless block though--mounting system is primitive, the best injection plate isn't the stock one (and it's unequivocally the best, so it should be stock), and the looks are dated (when did the Supreme come out, 2007? it's basically identical to it).
But damn is the performance good
Anyway, full review is here!
