i'm about to start building a water cooling system and i know the block can make or break the whole set up.

just wanting to know if anyone had any experience with PolarFLO water blocks, they are very expensive but the build qulaity seems really good.

there are so many blocks its hard to decide, like the cascade block also seems like an excelent choice. just looking for some advice
 
Cascade will be over $100 if you can buy it... next best option is the whitewater from dtek. The RBX is after that, then the PolarFlo, then the rest come after that.
 
If you really care about those extra 2 or 3 degrees, and can afford to pay 50$ more for the cascade, go for it!

On the more reasonable side of things, the whitewater and RBX are great blocks too. I'm using an RBX on my setup and I absolutly love it (and it was ~ $60 cheaper) :D

What does the rest of your setup look like? The blocks are very important, but so is the pump and the radiator. Without a great radiator, the water cannot cool to those really low levels. Likewise, a weak pump that cannot get water through the system well will hurt your temps. It sounds like your looking at some great blocks, but make sure you dont skimp on the rest of the system.

Good luck!

cheers for all your help, i'll need to think about it an extra $50 for the cascade is a bit much, but i'll keep it in mind. other wise whitewater or dangerden ahhh so many to choose from

If you are connecting it to your Exos just get the Koolance waterblocks. They are designed for the Koolance system and do work really well. You can get a high end waterblock from another manufacturer but that won´t work well if it don´t suits the Koolance system.
 
its ok because i'm building a new system, not adding to my exos.

i just feel my exos isnt cooling enough
 
Innovatek rev 3. + exos would be a good combo, it is designed for low flow and works excellently.
 
The PolarFlo's are excellent wb's If you go to their website, you can read some reviews where they tested it against the White Water, and Danger Den blocks. They are beautifully machined too. They look like works of art.
