How difficult to argue. Liquid cooling would be more consumable if you could buy it! The most basic packages exceed the price of the best air-cooled systems. It is true that it can serve us for a long time, but it requires maintenance, which is as difficult as blowing cooling fins on river coolers. Everyone wants this kind of best liquid cooled full RGB computer but the price is high and too high for many. I refueled a few parts yesterday in EK to restore my cooling and it will cost me 300€ .Tank with d5 bracket and d5 bracket velosity 200 €, 6 fans of the cheapest of course ,4 ordinary fitters and a few parts . of course with a tax. Let me also mention that I am retired with a disability and we receive a € 380 pension in Slovenia monthly . They add € 180, which we have to ask for. Otherwise you don't get it yet .. Regardless, I suggest buying this type of cooling. EK you are glad!

Everybody says that you should avoid sharp elbows, yet pretty much every GPU cooler has it, and I never understood why.
This is nice to see for a change.

Hi,
Guess not many people has really looked at the water block
It's water cooling both sides of the gpu
Most just throw a piece of aluminum on the back and call it done.

It does not come with an active backplate. The active backplate is a separate add-on, I believe.

EDIT: Here it is for an additional $260 on top of the $340 paid for the WB.

You should avoid when possible but in reality its often unavoidable so the other key is to have enough head pressure to overcome the losses in said loop.

And the block's tolerances can be out of spec and for that price... dude. I'm referring back to the thread where the user got no joy from ek and ground his pcb to fit the block. You know... like F that.
