    I'm truly surprised that after all this time, 1 year and some months since I've logged in, that NaeKuh hasn't bit the bullet and bough an DSLR and a soft box.


    You won't!

    I can't be the only one that thinks ALL of Ek's latest designs, are hideous. Alum over the Nickel Plexi(I want to SEE the liquid!), all edges and no "flowy" designs. Not to mention the ENORMOUS branding on the new Supreme and Dominator blocks.
    I sincerely miss the old logo, and that the logo didn't need to take up the entire blocks surface.

    Which is why I wont be buying any of their latest parts, when I was usually their biggest fan and was happy to recommend them.

    I don't see any aluminum?

    I think if the new fin design works better, ok, but why not use that new fin design yet still make it a little wavy

    EK uses stainless steel and not aluminum on their blocks. That would be just stupid. So +1 sparky.

    As far as I see from all these fins (XSPC,EK,Koolance) are made same. That is by cutting in copper with saw (you can see radius on ending) and not using milling.
    You can't do wavy thing with saw, only milling allows that.

    It's nickel plated, not aluminium

    Also, I don't see why you're ditching the brand now that they've noticeably improved the cooling power of their product. That's like saying you're not going to be buying another car in your life because the new ones are too energy efficient and you'd rather have a 20 liters / 100 km pimpmobile...
