Hi everyone. Im about to buy a custom loop with differents parts. This will be my first loop and I'va no experience with barrow block so is any good? The block for the cpu is this one and it's RGB.

Well if I were guessing that appears to be an aluminum CPU block with a quite large fin array. Since even in that tiny picture I can see the fins. (The website doesn't seem to have any relevant information on it)

I'm sure it would work, but you would want an aluminum radiator and aluminum (or some plastic) fittings to go with it to avoid mixing metals.

It would be less effective then a copper block with tiny fins that are pretty common from the more known brands.

I think just the outer ring is aluminum, I do not believe water contacts that at all in the block. Those things are quite popular at the moment. If you want to try a different cheap alternative, the Bykski blocks are quite good. Different fins too and NO aluminum.

That barrow block nickel plated copper though for the baseplate and fins. I bet it will perform quite well.

Hi guys, I bought the Barrow block and I have to say I'm very happy with it. It is beautiful and it gives good thermals. By the way, thermals are very similar to those given by ek evo supremacy. I recommend it Thank you
