Best CPU Block - EK Supreme HF vs Swiftech Apogee XT

[Lafas1987]

I like them both, each design has things going for it. Temps should be about the same.

I'd think you'd see better temps, just don't get your expectations too high.

So, i have to decide according to the price or the visual appearence.
My expectations are not too high i think. I want to have about 5-6C down.
Is this too high?
If i did that, i will lap my cpu for 3-4C down.

The Supreme HF edges ever so slightly ahead of the XT. The XT is quite a bit more restrictive. Saying this, I think the mounting of the Swiftech is leaps and bounds better than the Supreme HF.

Do you say, that the Swiftech fits better than Supreme HF?

Ever consider this?

The Price is very good. But i want the best CPU Waterblock for phsycological reasons.

Finally i have to say that i use the following tubes:

...And something about cpu block installation:
Is better to install the block horizontally or vertically?
