Best cpu block for skt 2011

As title guys.

Which cpu block is the best?

Looking to spend a max of £70.

I'm confused also as what exactly I will need, some blocks are saying you need to buy an extra mounting bracket.

Any help would be great cheers

Edit wrong thread, could this be moved to watercooling section please?

The EK Supremacy Evo get's my vote (mainly because I have one). It fit's just about all sockets with nothing else needed to be bought. You only need a different bracket if you have a narrow server 2011 board which you most likely don't have. An alternative would be the Heatkiller IV Pro.

Cheers mate.

I was looking at that EK block.

This is the board I have, you think it will be ok?

Yes, that's the standard fit. If you look at the middle picture, you see the "fins" at the corners of the socket where the mounting holes are? The narrow server version has them above and below the socket as opposed to sticking out of the corners. See this Asrock board as a example.
