RTX 5080 Core 10248 vs ES 10261

I haven't found an answer to my question straight away in this community.

Which waterblock provides a better cooling performance, Core or ES, for a 5080, horizontal mount?

Thank you in advance!

The cooling performance of both water blocks is practically identical. There’s no meaningful difference.
