Presently, I'm running a HK 3.0 LT. But I'm moving my build into a Silverstone TJ07 case next week, providing the interior painting goes as planned.

And since I'll have my loop completely disassembled, it gives me a chance to upgrade, so to speak. Already going to replace all tubing, so why not look at other parts of it, too?

I wouldn't look at the Supreme HF normally, given how close the HK is to the Supreme HF's performance, but given that my loop will be completely torn apart, may as well look into alternatives. And I can recoup some of the cost of the EK block with the sale of the HK block.

But, for one, I HATE HK's mounting system. "For this mount pressure, measure between the mount plate and motherboard....if it's this much, it's this pressure, etc." And the mounting screws are just pathetic.....you absolutely need a Hex wrench at all times to turn the mounting screws beyond loose hand tight.

Thank goodness I have calipers, otherwise I'd have to guess which is no way to mount a cpu block. Wish both EK and Watercool would look into licensing/copying/whatever Swiftech's mount system.
