Review on πŸ’§ EK Supremacy EVO Nickel CPU Water Block by Kuldip Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sweet block

Sweet block. I switched to EK and replaced my Alphacool xp3 waterblock because the Alphacool block wouldn't let me use my new fittings because the ports were too close together. This thing doesn't cool my CPU, but I have yet to check if it's just the thermal paste this block comes with. I've been using Artic Silver 5 with my Alphacool XP3 and getting high 20s, low 30 temps on my 5820k OC up to 4.5GHz, now I'm having low 40s with this unit. I was confident I'd followed the instructions and installed the correct parts for my CPU, so next I had to replace the thermal paste with Arctic Silver. It's still a great looking unit and while I'm not sure about the performance compared to my previous water block I still love it and the quality is fantastic.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great
