considering youve already got a massive 1060 i think you could put a lump of lead on you cpu, drill a hole through it, put on some barbs and still get good temps.. so i say get whatever is more conveinient, or cheaper, or whatever you think looks better cause with a huge pump like that the difference in temps between most blocks will be negligeble

yea the gemini is an ok block...but u limit urself for no tecs....GOTTA HAVE A TEC OR TWO!
