Good quality, perfect fit, clear instructions cannot fault it.
Not sure why EK are held up as a pinnacle of excellence, they are just another supplier, and certainly not the gold standard - plenty of companies match and surpass them in all areas of watercooling.
Infact, i cannot think of 1 area where they are the best.
They have just become the go-to brand over the years, there are better fitttings, blocks, radiators, tubing, fluid, pumps all made by different companies.

Great looking system by the way.
I was using EK as the baseline because that is a block manufacturer I have used before and therefore I know what they are like. I have a Corsair CPU block and XSPC fittings and tube.
I quite like the look of the Alphacool block, I will get hold of one when they come into stock, thanks for your reply.
Same i don't think much of their radiators in particular, they dont perform near as well as some other brands and its always at a higher premium. Their new lines of FE blocks for the 3000 series are nice though, i rate them but horrendously over priced. For less money you can get a better brand like aquacomputer with active cooled backplates and digital LED screens on the manifold for temp/flow readouts.
EK need to check their prices, they won't be able to hold up this price mark for long especially when availability for other blocks become more regular.
