Waterblock Choice?

fish2306 · 5 Oct 2011 at 15:48

Hi,
I have the i7 990x and I want to run it on about 5 ghz, which waterblock do you recommend as there is a lot of choice and I am new to custom built water cooling. For other details on my system I am thinking of buying a triple rad and the XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25” Bay Reservoir Pump.

Thanks,
Fish2306

These don't look bad, http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-069-XS

EK HF cpu blocks, though the few tests results I have seen from skinnee suggest that the xspc one above is even better. Check out the site for the full reviews and more details on best cpu blocks.

In no order

EK Supreme HF
XSPC Raystorm
Koolance 370

all perform with a degree of each other.

The reviews for Raystorm are multiplying on the www, looks to be the new winner at 2/3rds the price of the Koolance.
