HANDCRAFTE­D EKWB DUAL LIQUID-COOLED LOOP

-

WHEN IT CAME TO WATER- COOLING, there was only one place to go: EKWB. Our good friends over in Slovenia shipped us out all the hardware we needed to build two sweet custom loops for inside this build. Even accommodat­ing some last-minute changes with next-day deliveries. The decision to go solely with a passively cooled radiator loop for the CPU was a bold move, but thanks to the size of the radiator, we remained confident that it wouldn’t be an issue, even with an overclocke­d Intel Core i7-6950X.

We took advantage of four EK-Vardar fans spinning at a phenomenal 2,200rpm to keep things moving. And then, of course, the finishing touch to the design was to run hard piping instead of the soft tubing of last year. It provides us with a fair few advantages when it comes to holding tighter lines, and simply looks killer.
