EK Water Blocks, the premium liquid cooling manufacturer, bears the name of its founder Edvard König. It all started with the enthusiasm of one man and his ventures with liquid cooling back in 1999. From its humble beginnings more than ten years ago, the company steadily grew to become the most renowned supplier of high-end premium quality liquid cooling products. Over the years, the company expanded its product portfolio to become a full liquid cooling solution provider know as EK.

Occasionally, we see people discussing parallel vs. serial flow. Through testing, we've found there to be little difference

Parallel vs Serial Loop - Why Choose One Over the Other? - ekwb.com
In this article, we'll look at two most ways you can configure your loop, or more accurately the GPU block. The most common and usually featured is a serial connection, which uses one inlet to the GPU block, and one outlet. The parallel connection utilizes all 4 ports on the GPU block, and in the rest of this blog you'll find out how that works and what are benefits and drawbacks of both configurations.

Something I've wondered, if you have 2 loops, one for the cpu/gpu block, and one just room temp water. and you sandwich fans between 2 radiators drawing air from the cooler water, through the fan over the hot radiator. Wouldn't the room temp water get cooler over time, and the hot get cooler than normal air?

(the fan in the middle was a compromise I came about in my thinking, originally, i thought a 3d printed cowl between the radiator, and a push or pull or both fan configuration, but the fan in… See More

the middle can move the air, and act like the cowl.)

I'm honestly wondering if this would work! or would a pump on the 2nd loop heat the water more than the radiator would cool? or maybe an empty pressurized and capped radiator, the air passing over it would make the air inside cooler!

another idea, and this was one I was thinking for a pumpless AIO, is to use a Tesla valve "valvular conduit" on either side of the cpu block, the heated water from the cpu would cause pressure, pushing water through one of the Tesla valves through the radiator, and getting replaced by cooler water from the other Tesla valve...

I have crazier ideas like closed loop fractional distillation, but only to the point of cooling the internal air, not going full cryogenic... The 2nd idea using the Tesla valve is just good to get out, I've had the idea since the bulk of the mess over the Asetek patent issue started. maybe it's a usable idea! I can't fabricate and test so... Tesla made the valve so it can't be patented by Asetek! the 2 loop idea is something I still question!

Sorry, I had to share my crazy! this is some of the odd things that occupy my mind, with no way to try! lol

If you're ever worried about voiding your block's warranty by opening it up for maintenance, no need to fear!

www.ekwb.com/blog/did-you-know-that-you-can-open-your-blocks-without-voiding-warranty

Did you know that you can open your blocks without voiding warranty? - ekwb.com
We’ve seen a lot of people say the warranty is void once the EK water blocks are opened. That is not true, at least not entirely. EK offers two warranties. One is a leak warranty – which guarantees the product was tested after assembly and does not leak. In case of defect and leakage, while the leak seal is intact, that is the block was not opened by the user, EK covers all damage to the liquid cooling equipment and any PC hardware ruined in the process.

This is the reason why purpose-made coolants are recommended over pure distilled.

www.ekwb.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-coolants

This Is Why You Need Purpose-Made Coolants - ekwb.com
In the water cooling world, there are two tides. One goes for pretty colored coolants, the other wants only cooling performance and doesn't worry about looks. Some of the people in the other movement are promoting pure distilled water as the best choice for liquid cooling as it requires almost no maintenance. So today we're gonna talk about all the coolants, and also explain why pure distilled water can be a bad idea.
