Well, I tell you, the aquacomputer one seems to cover those areas much better.
With my EK I found the solution to be, well, not as solid as the aquacomputer.
Also, the thermal pads they supplied are insufficient (the amount provided).
You see, the part you have to screw to the main block is the part that cools those Chips, and they supply thermal pad to apply between that and the chips, and that part doesn't really touch the small ones so I had to cut the thermal pad in 2 or 3 pieces and stack them on top of each other to make sure theres contact.

So, my card runs cool, and no game has crashed (I actually play games lol)
And be damn carefull screwing the EK to the card... the PCB bends really easily
