Any preference between EVGA HydroCopper block vs EKWB for 1080 Ti reference card (Founders Edition)

The Hydro is a few bucks more but nothing to quibble over. Is one “better” than the other?

Thoughts?

Looking to buy 3 to cover remaining cards in loop.

I used to mine. Now I compute.

    Better is only going to be a couple of degrees. Get whichever is available and pleases your eye.

    The only main difference is the terminals available for EKWB to link the cards together with a single clean look. Evga will require fittings and tubes, because there is no single solution to link all the cards together.

    Get the ek just for the interlink to easily connect all cards together. If it was just a single card I'd say whatever.. but 3? Ek.
