It's a pretty good deal compared to the EK Supreme HF - it's about the same price as the EK but cools ~1C better.

What sort of budget are you on, and what are you looking to cool?


For n ow just an e8500, in a few weeks a Bulldozer 8 core if the benches are decent. Maybe a gpu later.Probably a 560ti.

Raystorm seems to be a decent block according to the couple of reviews I've seen on it...a little higher flowing that the Rasa block if I recall.

^ Yes...budget is typically the biggest handcuff for any build.

According to Martin's review, it performs about 1C better than the EK block, but is cheaper ($62.99) than the Acetal ($71.95) and Copper or Nickel ($82.95) versions of the Supreme HF, as well as the Apogee XT ($79.99) on FrozenCPU. It basically ties with the Koolance CPU-370, but is ~$20 cheaper ($87.99).

It also has an LED, which is pretty nifty and is a nice option.

As far as a budget I figure around 65 for the water block, 115 for the rad, 80 for the pump, 30 for the res, and 40 or 50 for tubing and misc.
