Good product looks good only issue is threads on radiators has the coating on them had to clean the treads before screws would go in to be able to mount fans
PrimoChill Complete 1/2 Inch PETG / RSX Combo Pack
Quality is great, everything lines up, no sharp edges or crappy threads. Overall a solid manifold.
But the gpu/active back plates are not balanced.
Single card manifold puts backplate in series with gpu. This manifold puts all in parrelell. Even at a ridiculous 18lr/min or 1080/hr total loop flow rate, i can literally watch the tiny air bubbles float up, opposite to the water flow in the gpu block.
I'm currently designing a manifold to put the back plates in series with gpus, all cards in parrelell. But it the mean time since i need to pull the cards out due to otter reasons i'm going to try blocking half the backplate hole to attempt to cheat ballance the blocks.
If i can edit reviews i'll link to my future Dazmod forum post for this server build. Just no time to stay steady at this project, new dad May 22.
I don't know how this block performs single. But terrible in a quad set up.
I've been struggling to get enough water flow to satisfy them. A single card set up the included manifold puts the active backplate in series with the main block. Using the Quad gpu maniford it puts all blocks in parrelell, but the active back plates have a different head pressure than the main block. I'm anly pumping threw a 360x60mm alphacool rad atm to test, playing with 4x D5's combining and mixing series/parrelell set ups to satisfy these. Currently the bent combined flow i could achieve is 18L/min (1080lr/hr) and could not get enough flow rate threw the blocks since they take path of least resistant mainly,and srow right down threw the gpu blocks.
Due to case restraints i modified the manifold to allow me to set the cards in a reverse parrelell set up to try and help out.
Durring assembly for some odd reason one block needed modifying so i could line up the inlet/outlet ports. Frustrating but possible.
Been pluckin away at this set up for a couple weeks now under water, using nothing but fresh distilled water, the active back plates look fine, but the copper coating is already all gone for oddly only the gpu blocks, while the active backplates look fine. I only just discovered this and said nuffs enough time for a review. I'm scared to remove the gpu's to see what the full damage is. Luckily my entire loops is all copper so no mixed metals. But i'm just not sure what to do about the bare copper.
Please ignore the green hue in the active backplate picture, it's refraction from the ram. I can confirm they're qrystal clear.
If i'm able to edit reviews i'll update with a picture while i pull the gpu blocks to see the true damage after on a mere couple weeks of use, didn't even get a chance to add inhibitors ar anything, just pure distilled water while i'm waiting for a lga 4189 cpu coper block and finally crack the code to these blocks to get them to have some water flow! Maybe i'll try reversing water flow, tho so far following their included picture to water direction since bykski is notoriously bad with directions /manuals.
Overal, the block ''works'' i'm sure it'll be fine in a single card system. Or a 3/4 slot 2 card set up using included single card manifold's.
But so far the quad card set up is terrible and the nickle plating i'm hoping is a ''fluke'' and since I bought all at once was a batch error. Afterall the active barkplates are flawless, it's jush gpu side that's shot.
Would give it a 5 star if it was metal and a little wider at the top where you’re pouring. Otherwise if works fine.
They are nice looking fittings but the wrench needed to tighten the fittings would not fit into the slot, so they could not be tightened as intended. I had to use pliers. I believe the plating threw off the sizing....disappointing..
Great fitting and the quality is great too
All of my SX fittings look premium..but the they were manufactured poorly. You cannot tighten any of the fittings with a wrench, the slot was not made to the correct size. No size wrench fits. Very disappointing for spending over $450 for my fittings.
Been using it for years.
Excellent product
Easy to install
Granted this review is bias as I made the mistake buying it when it was clearly labeled for a specific card, but if you don't read the exact specs, its still very easy to walk away thinking it should fit other 4070 cards. Very frustrating.
So far so good its been a month or so and it runs great and decently quiet. The mounting system or base plate is very convenient and easy to use
I have the EKWB reflection 2 distro for evo XL.
Works as intended. The only issue with this fluid is if you leave it in your loop for more than 72 hours you might risk Plasticizer Leaching.
the instructions were straight forward for power and it's led.
for restart, it's 2/4 pins.
looks great in any use cases.

youre going to want more
These reservoir mounting clips work great with my 60mm EK reservoirs. Super easy to mount and they have a good grip. The Bykski 60mm reservoir mounting clips look great in my build and I am sure they look great in your build too. I highly recommend.
The coolant looks very cool flowing through my tubes. Kids came in and at first look said , "OH wow , thats so pretty. How'd you do that"? You know the honesty of kids. Definitely has the wow factor . I recommend this fluid. Idk about the longevity yet or the maintenance its gonna require, but the look is awesome and my pc is running cool.
Only ever used Primochill loop preps and coolants because its never been an issue
Works well and very easy to install
I havent fully build my pc yet but so far it looks ever nice and every well built
They are are great to look at, and I Love them. Will buy more.
