what's difference between EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy EVO - Acetal+Nickel & EK-Supremacy EVO - Acet
- Thread starter west1980
- Start date
I'm curious to know also,
EK-FC Titan X - Acetal Nickel Water Cooling Block
VS
EK-FC Titan X - Copper Acetal Water Cooling Block
The copper ones seem to be sold out everywhere, but I can find the Acetal Nickel ones, which implies they are less desirable.
Is this due to the mixing of metals corrosion aspect? (as 90% of radiators are full copper?)

seems to be a few quid difference in price!
Both versions will give you the same performances
Both GPU blocks performs equally. The only difference is in the price. Both versions sells well.
In terms of metal mixing, it's more the aluminum components that you need to avoid. Copper, nickel and brass work well together in a loop.

Seems I'll be buying some kit soon.
A quick question while you are here (on the same subject), which products are needed from your range to connect two 980ti in SLI into a single bridge.
The cards are the standard (2 apart for 16x for an Asus x99 deluxe)
2 slots apart so I assume you have a 40 lanes CPU like the 5930K or a 5960X.
In this situation, you would need one of those bridges depending on weither your want to go Serial or Parallel.
Serial : EK-FC Terminal DUAL Serial 3-Slot
Parallel : EK-FC Terminal DUAL Parallel 3-Slot
We also have the plexi versions of both bridges.
Cheers
Thanks, any benefit from parallel or serial or is it mostly ascetic?, I'll confirm the lengths of the lots, by BIOS tells me to put it in a different slot to the online pictures!
Yeah, 5930K I'm using!. Thanks again.

The performance differences is minimal between parallel and serial. It's more of a personnal preference these days. When blocks and rads were more restrictive back in the days, going for serial vs parallel made a difference but today's blocks and rads aren't that restrictive anymore.
