Hi im looking for some advice

Im thinking of replacing my cpu water block,

I have the original EK supreme,
The New EK supremacy AX is much cheaper then the EK supremacy or evo but i cant find any comparisons or reviews.

I was originally looking to get a used EK supremacy Evo

Could someone provide some advice what should I get ?
 
I looked into all of this on purchase of my last CPU water block.

due to misleading reviews, confusion over designs and when released I ended up with the XSPC Raystorm pro
Similar price to the top Ek but was made of copper asnd most reviews seem to rate it better,m also I likes the style choice.

Just my viewpoint but I thought it might be good to give you other options :)
 
I've been looking into it too since I need to pick up a new block for my next coffee lake build. From what I can tell the EK Supreme and Supreme Evo are basically the same and the only difference is a bit of plastic in the Evo can be swapped so performance is basically the same as the original. You cannot get the original Supreme any more though, and the AX looks to be a budget version that doesn't perform as well.

The Supreme / Supreme Evo wins in all the comparisons I've seen against other blocks including the Raystorm and for less money. This might not be the case for coffee lake though which is why I am holding off ordering.
 
The AX looks to be aluminum so Id guess that's why its cheaper, also I don't think you should mix Aluminum parts with Copper.

Not so sure about this b it, I am certain at the time i did my research the raystorm Pro beat it, admittedly not by much, I have also had a run in with their support and found it "lacking", so tried something new
 
Supremacy Evo and Raystorm Pro are much the same preformance wise, probably within <1degC depending on what chip you're cooling.
 
The AX is part of EKs fluid gaming range , where they are using aluminium, id advise against it unless you're buying aluminium rads and fittings etc etc.
