I have this block right now.
I am in the process of bleeding right now. I'm not exactly sure ow tight to put the thumb bolts so I am doing trial and error since I have read that if you arent careful it will bow the motherboard
ANY waterblock you mount should use a backplate. Without one there's simply no way to get enough pressure for optimum result. Mobo warp/bow way too easily.
I'm using the backplate from TR and with it I can make it tight enough to bend the mounting plate instead.
Got any pics of the inside of the block? I been thinking about getting one of these.
Looking at the ΔT chart, it becomes very plain to see that EK Water Blocks are definitely on to a winner. It will be interesting to see how much of a change there will be between the performance and high-flow plates for the EK Supreme when they become available.

This block looks like the best choice right now for a CPU exclusive loop. It also has a durable acrylic top to make it look mad sexy.

This is from the review posted on Post #2. Anyone know about these "high flow plates." I've googled and searched around and turned up nothing. When were these even announced?
Durable, Acrylic, and top don't belong in the same sentence . Acrylic doesn't take well to threads and can crack over time depending on the stress applied to it by the tubing, how tight the barbs are, etc. Acetal is a MUCH better material to use.QUOTE]
Amen to that. I have my fun with acrylic tops and i must say they suck. I had barbs strip out and i would have to install the block and parb then cake on the sealent. but it worked Theri nice for bing but thats it. If i had to pick between acetal and acrylic then its acetal ftw.
