      That's a lot of blocks....

      It should also be noted that full copper blocks do not always outperform mixed blocks. For example the Raystorm Full Copper performed worse than the acetal version. I am not the only one to see this. Martin saw the exact same result in his testing. Don’t go ahead and automatically pay more for a full copper block because it may not be worth it.

        I was saying that for years too. Full metal blocks are for looks only.

        I'm surprised to see Bitspower rated below Ek Supreme as it si pretty much a copy inside.

          I'm pretty happy with my Ek Supremacy. My comp has only been a few degrees higher then ambient.

            EK Supreme Rocks. 20ish C over on the hottest days. A few C over ambient idle. Just keep the flow rate way up and good airflow through the rads!!
