Great way to end it. Thanks for the effort you put into this testing.

Martin, my hat is off to you, and always will be. You are a great tester, give clear and trustworthy results, and your just a great guy.
We will all miss your testing and reviews!!!!
EK Supreme reigns high!
BTW, I VOTE STICKY!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the test Martin. Surely know how to suprise people.
I got a half price EK Supreme last month and swapped them with Fuzion V1(promount+quad nozzle). Pretty much around 1-2 delta between them.
Now can you please benchmark all those blocks with the I7?
I joke, I joke.
Honestly, this is some of the best information on cpu blocks out there. Thank you very much Martin!!
Great job MartinThanks for your hard work. Wow I can't believe its the unsung EK Supreme that...reign supreme.

Can't agree more as a relative newcomer to the forums. It is sad to see such a prominent member of the community leaving, and I hope that all of this knowledge will be preserved for future members.
Again, thanks so much for your dedication and excellent work!!!!! I know I cannot truly understand the time and commitment that you put into your work, but please accept my thanks, you truly are an upstanding member of the WCing community.
I\ll say it for RRR ====== FTW EK rules !!
very nice work, i have been looking for a review like this ever since i got into water cooling. I have used your flow estimator so much even though i hardly change my loop its nice to see what would change. Thanks for this and all your work, sad to see you go you are probably the best water block tester i have ever seen.

Most teenagers (some adults, as well) have changed to decide that rap sounds musical. If you haven't, put this in your signature.
One last hurrah!
Thanks martin, what a way to go out.

Sorry scott, the supreme has it beat.![]()
Now someone needs to get eddie to make them channeled, and focused.
Only problem is you cant use it on a dualcore, and a dualcore version on a quadcore.
The i7 will require another set of specalized nozzles, which i think ima have fun playing with.
After ive played with new koolance block. :P
Im getting a set to play with.

You took the bulls by the horn and tamed them Martin, my respect. You have left so many marks that wounīt be eroded by time in this forum. Itīs sad to see you leave, but you know what is best for you and i wish you the best in whatever you are planning to do. Just donīt forget that you still have a family in this forum that will always welcome you with an open arm. I hope a mod will be man enough to put you name in as extreme legend. Once more thanks for all the hard work and private advice, which i benefitted from too.

Sure the supreme provides the best temps (there no denying that). However, as soon as multiple block loops are factored into the performance equation the supreme just isn't the best... I just hope that the newcomers to watercooling don't look at the temp data and think to themselves 'ooo EK supreme, imma grab myself one of those and wack it in the loop with a GPU block', only to find out that they don't have the best cooling they could have had they gone with a lesser performing (temperature wise) lower restriction block.
thank you martin for another wonderful set of testing done.
next i think we'll have skinnee and andy to bug for some test results... hehehe...

Thanks martin for all your work.... not just this test but all the previous tests as well. I've learnt a lot from reading your reviews and posts. Your work will be missed for sure, but I hope you will be happy doing whatever you choose to do next.![]()
please be gentle with me. i am only a noob!
I feel like I'm simply entering a chorus, and I'm not even wet, but I always like to indulge myself in data. Thank you.
