    I see circles around the screw holes. Circles on EK blocks throws some members on this forum into tantrums. In the future please use only right angles. I do not think I can bear hearing another thread of "Xtreme" user's complaining about aesthetics.

    On point, beautiful block, will be picking one up no doubt!!!

    Great work and I like that you have the clear/plain top and the satin/circles for both camps

    Can't wait for someone to give me a few titans to try these on. Anyone? Anyone? Nah I thought not lol

    I haven't bought an EK block in a while, don't the multi block links have circles now? Won't that look odd with the bridge being circles and the blocks not?

    Also not sure if eddy or anyone from ek still posts on xs but I'm curious if a blackplate will be offered as well.

    tiborrrrr is an EK employee

    the origin bridge had no circles so I imagine there will be bridges without circles although I don't see anything on the website. The block description explicitly says it doesn't use the normal FC bridge but instead the FC terminal, so I imagine there is a "FC terminal" bridge coming.

    Nice, really like the clean and clear look coming back as an option. About the only other suggestion I would have is round or chamfered corners to loose some of the square look. A nice large radius on the 6 external corners would look really good.

    Still sporting a single 570 here myself, but those look sharp if I had a titan to cool.

    I am on my phone, otherwise I would provide the link and quote, but on EKs webpage for the block it mentions that they recommend using the EK backplate also. I couldnt find a product page for it, though.

    In other words it sounds like yes, they will have them.

    I know it increases the production time & cost but if you can afford a $1000 the extra cost shouldn't be a problem.

    Wish you offered plexi top on all your waterblocks. Some people don't like the circles.

    These blocks look sexy as hell though. Too bad the Titan is way overpriced. Should of been 699.99.

    I agree with this. It is a huge improvement over the CSQ blocks but square arcylic blocks look kind of awkward. It isn't as noticeable w/ acetal for some reason IMO.

    I like the new simplistic look too. Be careful of rounding corners on rectangular things...Apple's lawyers have a long reach.

    Well done EK, on both the good timing and the return to a clean design.
    I'll certainly order 2 of these once the back plates and a parallel bridge are available.

    24/7 running quiet and nice

    There still are circles, on sli bridge .
    tiborrr: how hard it would be to design some adapters for new blocks to be usable with old EK bridges? Loved design of those, even while they were very first, they imho looked best of all competitors (swiftech/watercool/AC) that released theirs later on.

    Tiborrr, do you know the ETA for the EK-FC Terminal (DUAL, TRIPLE or QUAD)?

    Thanks.
