***ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Owners Thread***

[Olvik]

I cannot say which block is best as I only have the Koolance. I can confirm that there are no serious clearance issue on the Koolance and it does a good job keeping temps in line....especially the VRM area that otherwise needs active cooling to overclock into the higher ranges. I will post up some clearance pics later tonight.

Currently do not have liquid cooling block, but I think the EK has committed a serious mistake not to include all component, to the left of the lower block.


While the Koolance covers everything.

Inexpliclable the EK block.

A greeting.

Maybe the hardware below the EK block doesn't need cooling?

Slightly off topic, but looking at those 2 pictures made me wonder why not try to incorporate a cpu block and the motherboard block all in one peice? With the new X79 board layout, this should be pretty doable. It would surely help cut down on cluttered tubing runs.

True, I like the blocks together, not separately, thus the order is given in the tubes inside the box, which is usually quite chaotic due to the large number of bends.
Besides, I have experience from previous ASUS boards.
