I've been out of the scene for a while and chugging along contently with my current WC setup, but it's time to do some upgrading. I am looking at getting a new GPU and adding it to my loop. While looking around at the new blocks out these days, I have noticed more and more acetal and nickel WB's on the market and one place even mentioned, in passing, their use due to benefits in water cooling, but never elaborated. I'm just curious what has spurred this new trend and what benefits they refer to. What are the ups and downs to using either acetal, nickel, or any combination of them with each other or standard copper?
P.S. For anyone that is interested, the upgraded system will be a single loop through a BI GTX480 Rad to cool an i7-930 and most likely a GTX 470 GPU.
