Recently reviews came out for Swiftech's Apogee XL and it looks promising.
But according to friend EK blocks > Swiftech's block. So now I'm pretty much stuck in a dilemma. Apogee XL or Supremacy? Also, anyone had bad experiences with Swiftech's waterblock? |

QUOTE(Lucassss @ Jul 11 2014, 05:12 PM) Frankly, the performance differences are so minimal that you wouldn't even notice it. I'd say go with whichever you think looks better since one of the reasons for WC is aesthetics. they're noticeable on paper but i don't think it will effect much.  QUOTE(pristine @ Jul 11 2014, 05:20 PM) If you're planing on reaping all the performance your CPU can deliver, EK Supremacy or Koolance 380. If you're just planning on improving cooling, just get whatever that you fancy. QUOTE(ntw @ Jul 11 2014, 04:28 PM) supremacy why supremacy to push things to the limit? is it because of the delid kit add on? (after reading reviews) the temp for this apogee xl is slightly lower than ek's supremacy. thus making me thought about it since price/perf ratio is better than ek |

QUOTE(pristine @ Jul 11 2014, 06:00 PM) Longest block that's been up there on the rankings. Also yeah, you get the delid kit. i know it varies. but there's only 2 review out there and one review with comparisons with other waterblocks. btw, read more than just one review. sometimes results vary. even varies from processor and mounting methods. new block problems  not much reviews |

QUOTE(abidgreen93 @ Jul 11 2014, 10:21 PM) Supremacy. I am using one. Love it. Thanks for the input  I think I'll be getting swiftech's apogee XL as the front plate is moddable to suit my theme. also, for it's price it delivers performance comparable to supremacy (on paper though) Hopefully I'll be the first one to get it and unbox hehe. |
