White water blocks?

Jay85 · 22 Aug 2012 at 22:09

Does anyone know of any companies that make white water blocks?

I think EKWB did some awhile ago but i can't seem to find any info on them other that what shows up on google which is a 5770 white acetal block... preferrably looking for something for my i5 3570K and GTX 680.

Anyone?
Thanks

Too ugly

... i really dislike the way it looks...

i would use hate but it's too strong of a word lol

Any other suggestions?

Not white, but some form of plexi with white fluid?

Jay85 · 22 Aug 2012 at 23:20

I've tried that and it doesn't look that great... especially with a copper block.

DT sniper in white!
But not sold in any UK store, they do ship to UK though!

How about some white vinyl? Wrap the top.

Do EK not do white blocks? I have a white EK X-Top so I imagine they'll do blocks in the same stuff.

EDIT: Hmm seems not, how surprising.

Ek did do white acetal tops - still do but ONLY for older blocks
EK supreme HF (old shape) still have a white top available
do a search for '3144' on the ek site

another vote for the DT sniper - great high flow block

Also you could get the MIPS Iceforce block and spray paint the metal bracket white.
Then it's mostly white with small black ports.

As mentioned by others I'd choose a DT Sniper or DT 5NOZ over any of the "brands"; great performance without sacrificing good looks.

Seems everyone is recommending the DT sniper 5NOZ in white, i have looked at this one before but i forgot about it tbh...

Anyone heard or had any problems with this block?

Ek do make white tops for the 680 old style block

Jay85 · 23 Aug 2012 at 20:36

Link? I can't seem to find it.

Jay85 · 23 Aug 2012 at 20:40

Nevermind i found it, it's the top only.

Could i use my old o-rings and gaskets from my current block on it?

elmuzzy66. · 24 Aug 2012 at 10:24

Yes just take the old top and replace it with white one. Only catch is that you loose the warranty on the block.

I came in here expecting talk about whitewater blocks! Showing my age I guess.
