fullcover would not fit to my asus direct cuII. my fault, forgot to mention this above.. sorry

have to take only gpu block

[zalbard]

I'd go for Koolance CPU-370 due to looks and lower restrictiveness.

what u think about the xspc rasa ? is performing in some tests not so bad..

[Aedubber]

The rasa def did good but zalbard is correct , the koolance cpu block did very well too ...

Rasa is as good as the HF. If you up the mount pressure its better (use EK standoffs instead of nylon washers under the springs). Seems to be a little less restrictive in my loop too.

thx for ur response guys. i think i have to choose between the the kryos, koolance and the rasa..

+1 for AquaComputer. I LOVE my 480 blocks to death, and I'm looking to get a Kryos to replace my Surpeme HF. It's sort of funny because last year I had one and AquaComputer lost the mounting kit for it and I needed a PC at the time so I picked up the HF, so I got rid of the Kryos. My mistake, won't happen again!
