Custom Water Loop EK or XSPC?

[thejames10]

As the header states, looking to create a water loop. Am going to be getting dual 780 Ti'
Who would you recommend being the better choice?

Will be cooling CPU and the GPUs

EK makes a better product. As far as pump go, don't go with either of those brands. Go for something like this: http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...e=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=33677

Yeah, that pump's a laing D5 vario type (i think) - awesome pumps, powerful and quiet. I'd buy EK blocks as they cool the vrm of the 780's better but i dont think you can over volt the stock 780ti's so tbh the only thing you should concern yourself with is aesthetics and fan noise.

Rule of thumb for radiators and fans is that if your rad has a low fin density, it suits low speed fans. If it has a high fin density it works better with higher rpm fans. Dpn't skimp on fans in a loop - they make it what it is.

as void said, it comes down to aesthetics, they are pretty much head to head in performance xspc block and ek block but on pumps, go with the d5 type, theres even xspc reservoirs with that tipe of pumps so for me xspc has a better selection on pumps than swiftech, don't get me wrong I'm not saying xspc is better just telling you that for me xspc has better start kits than ek if your going full custom WC
