Its nice, but you need a lot of fittings and tubing for the nb and de dram sector :S
I dont know why they do it that way . . .

I just did a recent build with the R2E
I used the bitspower black freezer on the NB/SB and the eK mosfet blocks
both are performing wonderfully

I've tried the Mips, EK and Bitspower blocks for the R2E.
Mips: easy to setup and works well. Kind of restrictive from the looks of it though (mosfet in/out are only ~half the diameter of G 1/4).
EK: what can I say? It looks nice, but fit isn't very good. They corrected the small mosfet block, but the larger one still has holes spaced too far apart. The NB/SB block doesn't cool everything the original one does. Not sure whether it matters, but I'm not going to let it sit there for a while to find out if something blows up 
BP: nice blocks and good performance. Mount for the QPI/DRAM section is ill constructed however. There's no access to the mounting screws after you install the top block part. It's only held to the lower NB/SB section by a D-plug and a flimsy screw with a little spring. To get it to seat deep enough I had to countersink one of the screw holes under the plexy mount plate. Admittedly, it's in part due to using my own 1mm thick thermal pad there instead of the provided 0.5mm. I changed the pad thickness, because 0.5mm is quite delicate and punctures easily when you push on the QPI/DRAM block section. You do not want to risk a short there.

I LOVE the Koolance NB+SB block it's beautiful, and I use the EK mosfet blocks because I had a few problems with the koolance blocks causing warping of the board (something that may be fixed now, not sure).

I went with Koolance for the NB/SB and EK for the MOSFET's.
Working great for almost a year.
Bitspower coupling between the MOSFET's and CPU.

My thoughts
Bitspower is the only one piece implementation right now since Koolance Full motherboard block for some reason is retired 
But i agree with cx-ray . I'm not feelling comfortable with the implementation on QPI/DRAM .
Enzotech is good looking , secure in every way , but the three pieces alltogether cost 250 $ , way to expencieve for my pocket.
Ek . I own a few Ek's waterblocks and i'm very happy , but this implementation is rather poor for such a motherboard , take a look at his EVGA class. I'm disappointed.
Right now in seems ramapage II Gene would be a better choise
