Waterblock Question...

A couple questions in regards ot these blocks:
This is for the Maximus Formula (non SE version)


EK-NB S-Max

EK-Mosfet ASUS 3a

EK-NB/SB ASUS 3

1 - I see they have an Acetal version for all of these that instead of see thru its black... are the see thru ones able to be permantly stained by colored liquids.. whats the differance other then see thru?

2 - When purchasing the Mosfets I only see a picture of 1... do they actually come in a set of 2 or do you need to purchase 2 seperatly?

3 - Anyone use any of these and use compression fittings with them?

People are concerned about the clear covers cracking. No, they won't stain.

Mosfets, how many? That would be a question for the seller wouldn't it?

Don't use compression fittings, use plastic tubing and barbs.

Unless you're going to be doing heavy benchmarking, you'd be better off with the stock cooling on the mosfets, NB and SB. The NB is set up for water cooling anyway.
