Bitspower THOR EIX99 Full Cover Water Block for EVGA X99 Classified/FTW
Water cooling is a great way to remove heat from PC components. There are various types of water or liquid cooling solutions available such as the popular All-in-One (AIO or Closed loop) units, DIY liquid cooling kits, as well as fully customizable water cooling loops. As the name implies, a custom loop option is highly configurable and allows users to select a CPU or GPU water block that would fit their needs paired with a radiator, pump, connectors and hose of their choice. Custom loop users also have an option of full coverage water blocks that are motherboard specific. The full cover block includes a water block for the CPU, PCH, and typically the VRMs, as well as a plate that distributes water to each.
Bitspower makes various options for water blocks that cover Gigabyte, ASRock, MSI, Asus and EVGA motherboards. Recently, we reviewed the EVGA X99 Classified and that motherboard is designed to push the CPU as high as possible if the cooling equipment allows. Bitspower’s THOR EIX99 is specifically designed to cover the EVGA X99 Classified as well as the EVGA X99 FTW motherboard, cooling the critical motherboard components and providing the thermal headroom that the MOSFETs and other parts require for a stable overclock.
