Just looking at this block, it appears to be well made. The inside of the block appears to have built-in pressure as there is only a small gap between the top of the block and the copper plate. This is similar to the EK Supreme design with its pressure plate that forces the coolant to squeeze thru a tight space. The EK pressure gap is much smaller than this block but the same principal is being applied.

After running this block, it appears that the reviews are correct and this block performs on par with the EK Supreme. I like the mounting system as well but you can easily remove the existing bolt downs from the block and use it with another backplate system, no probs.

I use this block on my gaming rig and find it does an excellent job. I've seen reviews were other blocks run neck and neck with it, but haven't seen it beaten as of yet . Keeps my OCd system in the mid 40's

That is a very nice mounting setup they have there.

Yah, it keeps the Over Clocking Disorder in check pretty good.

Too bad I raped the backplate and mount screws to use an interchangeable mount and screws with this block. It works like a champ tho, just without the stock bp and screws

That block gets beat by about half of the blocks out!

Nope, I meant just what I said!

Just remember if you use the 1366 version of that block on the classified, you have to cut one of the sides off of the backplate to avoid shorts on the back of the board.

Thx, I'll keep that in mind, totally spaced on how I'm gonna cool the classy since my water gear is all back in my re-designated 24/7 rig.

EDIT: personal testing would be something to back up a statement like that
