AL tops for the D-TEK White Water are $10 dollars more than the poly tops. I was wondering if they're necessary, if so why?

Mine cracked after a month, bought a copper top from logicooling and no more problems and almost looks as nice, very good quality from Neomosis

Nope, I had Uv dye and lights and noticed it dripping onto my 9500pro
so I looked really close and found a small spyder crack, down she went and I ordered the copper top and all has been well for 7+ months now, only topped the coolant once with maybe 1/2 an ounce

yeaaa but they wouldn't have done it, they probabbly would have just laughed at you for thinking about that.
Yes, I know there would be a slim chance of that happening... but still, at least call and give them a hard time about it!
I work at a call center... ppl do that to me all day long 5 days a week - any chance I get and I'm doing it back!! lol - I know, I'm like a little kid

Why pay $60 for a whitewater with an aluminum top (or even $50 for a poly top that may crack) when a $40 MCW6000 (or 6002) will do as well as the whitewater and better at lower flow rates? You also don't have to deal with using a Y to rejoin the 2 outlets. Unless you can realistically get a 2+ gallon-per-minute flow rate (and it's not easy to achieve), what's the attraction to the whitewater? It's not the top block anymore especially considering cost vs. performance.

the swiftech mcw 6002 is a very well built block that has excellent performance - at approx. $40 it is a helluva deal. It comes with very good instructions, the base is supa-flat, all of the hardware is well-built, solid copper construction (so no worries about cracks or anodizing that might wear off and lead to galvanic corrosion) and it even comes with metal tube clamps.
the solder line around the outer edge of the block's base is so thin (due to amazingly tight tolerances on the machining) that you can hardly even see it.
swiftech gets a huge
for this one.
