when in doubt you get a mcr320. :X (best value for performance)

american made..

Thank you, 😉
personally if I were in the market for another rad I'd buy one of those XSPC, yet as Aigo said I couldn't recommend this to others.
I'd like to test my water for conductivity but have no easy access without draining, so I will test when I do the next tear-down. I used the feser dye and after 3 years of of harassment and abuse from Aigo I have finally given up on dyes and additives. I bought 20 feet of orange feser tubing and will run with distilled and silver in my next build. I have always used UV and dye for bling and every dye I've tried faded, some like the hydrx even caused gum and deposits.

Hmm, the e-tailer canceled my Koolance 350 order because it was OOS. I was having second thoughts anyway, because I've seen a lot of reviews showing how insanely restrictive this block is, even compared to the EK Supreme. I'll take that as an omen that I should have stuck with the Swiftech GTZ, which I'll be ordering soon.

heh..

you need to plan your loop out correct.

in my setup, the KL-350 would stomp the GTZ any day of the week.

In all regards, there both great blocks.

I have one 655 pump, which even on full speed would push less than 1 gpm through the KL-350. That's too low! The same pump can push almost 2 gpm through the GTZ or D-tek Fuzion v2. What kind of pump options are there to push 1.5 gpm+ through the KL-350?

EDIT-In yet another change of heart, I bought a DDC-2 Pump with an XSPC reservoir top, and I'll buy a Koolance 350 after all. Apparently this block doesn't really benefit from much more than 1 GPM anyway. I'll just set up a separate loop for the GPU down the road.
