I agree with Cleecloo here...

They look awful. Id never buy these... At least not for their look anyway!

May have already been asked, any idea on ETA for reference 670 coolers?

Should be any time now.

not for me unless they perform the best by a big margin

i think the frosted plexi would look cool with a really light ice blue coolant in it but the circles are fugly.

Just purchased their old design cpu waterblock yesterday... I regret nothing.

I found EKs new logo from a WC forum called 'Red Raiders':




I hope EK can recover from this, IMO they still have potential!

The new back plate looks good but i'm not sure about the new blocks.

They all look a bit "habitat"

I preferred the minimal industrial look.

They don't look bad I don't think in systems, on their own they stand out, but with fittings attached and in the computers its not quite the same thing.

EK is Slovenia btw, not Slovakia

Any idea when the new design bridges will be up for pre order?

 

[Jay85]

It's just so ugly and squareee whyyyyy? why do this! Cosmetics wise their old stuff looked way better!

 

[Gibbo_GTI]

Are they going to do a full cover block for the HD7850?

They are indeed, may be a few months until they are released though.

Cool

 

[xtremedetailz]

when are these due in ?

 

[Cleeecooo]

I wonder if they're going to make any old style plexi bridges?

While I don't think these new blocks look very good I honest can't say I thought the old ones looked all that good either, especially when compared with other manufacturers blocks.
I think looks wise there is little contest from the new or old EK blocks and the XSPC Raystorm block bundymania posted in another thread. Or even the Aquacomputer blocks. In my mind you always bought EK blocks for the performance.
