Waterblock question - XSPX or EK for 780?

[The_Governour]

I want to put my DCUII 780 under water and the only block avaliable is the EK one but I might be able to get my hands on a 780Ti (reference)...

If I could get the 780Ti then what water block would be the best? I am between the EK and the XSPC, I am a big sucker for the XSPC as it can have the led lights that would look awsome in my H440. But is the EK waterblock much better?

Also another question, does anyone have the water block for the DCUII 780 from EK? I know it would not make much difference as the DCUII is cool card by its self on air but I want all water cooled.


Cheers.

I dont even bother looking for difference tbh, I always buy the one that will look best in my rig/design

I have 2 XSPC 780Ti waterblocks and the backplates in my rig and they look the dogs tits!

Performance is excellent too!!

There's hardly any difference in performance between water blocks for GPUs, as long as they are full coverage you'll get pretty much identical temps from any of them.

So just choose the one you like the look of the most. Lots of people use the XSPC razor blocks and back plates and rate them highly.

Ok, thanks! I guess then I will go with the XSPC one as it looks very nice!

Does XSPC even make DCUII blocks for the 780Ti?

Have a look on their website mate, you'll see everything they do on there.

I agree with the general sentiments of this thread, but I prefer the look the AquaComputer full cover blocks. That's what I'll be fitting to my 780ti's eventually.

This thread may be of interest to you.

Their comparison of the Kryographics is a bit irrelevant as AC changed the design of the waterblock so it's higher flow than their review sample.
