Default Which one to buy?
I'm on my way to buy either one of the two following WC systems.

Both I can get for exactly the same price.

Cooler Master Aquagate Max

or

SwifTech H20-220 Apex Ultra

Is there anyone anyone with knowledge/experience that could tell me which one of these two is the best in cooling performance. Ive tried to find a comparison sheet for them but no luck.

thx, rep+

Agreed, the Apogee block is better, and the loop itself has much better quality.

The first link doesn work for me.
The second link has some decent components. The apogee is supposed to be pretty good and the pump doesnt suck either. If you ever plan on expanding into vga cooling you'll need a bigger rad
