Apparently you have not done any research. Here is just one review that shows it's a pretty good block and not restrictive. I personally have this block and I compared it to the original EK Supreme and the Swiftech GTZ and the Koolance had better flow rates. Temps rarely show a difference of 5 degrees on any block compared to any other block, anyone that tells you differently is trying to sell you something.


Sure they do quick connects, but all they did was shrink car technology. Nothing more. They're not innovative. They're cheap copycats.

That no one else makes.

You can tell no lesson was learned because of the position of the outlet barb on their northbridge block. Not to mention I think the full shiny polished top is terrible looking. The inside of my computer case isn't Puerto Rico.

This is personal opinion and the position of the bottom barb can benefit some. On top of that, it makes the block less restrictive than say the EK block due to it having just one pass versus a dual pass like the EK.

I'm not discounting them because of the name, I'm discounting them because they've sucked for their entire history. Sell me something that's easy to use, and useful.
Apparently you have made up your mind about a company you know nothing about. I imagine you probably just got into water cooling and went to some website that said "Koolance sucks, BP for the win". Seriously, if you have never used their products, how can you comment on them? I have used more than 10 CPU blocks, probably 8 or more MB blocks, a crap load of GPU blocks, all of these from various companies and you know what I figured out? They're all pretty much the same. Different colors, minor tweaks, cool tricks, but all made from copper, some nickel plated, some not and all perform withing a few degrees of each other. Seriously, it really comes down to what looks good for your build and what makes your life easier running your tubing and how much you want to spend. XSPC makes a great GPU block that is about $30-$40 cheaper than the rest and it performs just as good, but it doesn't look as sweet as an EK block or a Koolance block or even the BP blocks. I use them all and don't limit it myself to any one brand, no reason too.
