This (like most GPU blocks) is an absolute beast. Nearly 5 pounds of metal in a very small footprint. The only issue I've found so far is that the backplate is missing a 0.9mm deep clearance pocket for a whole bunch of resistors on the PCIe connector sub-board. A quick trip to my mill fixed that problem, but it would be nice if Bykski fixed it for future revisions. Attached are pictures showing the OEM backplate, the modification I had to make on this one, and the resistors that need clearance.
Comparing the red debur hand tool to this guy is like comparing my knees to a Ferrari engine. This primochill denier/ream tool is used on all my WC builds. It should be a required tool in the box, it’s that good.
I been using this product for 5 years+ and never had any issues. Aways keeping my rig nice and cool and clean every year.
great pump! A little bigger than I thought it would be but it runs great and super quiet. Running a 360 rad with a 240 res cpu and gpu. System runs cool and quiet all parts I got thru primochill they are awesome fast shipping and quality stuff highly recommend. :)
Precut thermal pads would've been nice. Instructions also would've been nice. It has a great look to it, and we will see how well it cools.
They worked just like they should have and easy on the eyes
As always it was the right size and had no problems using it. Second time I’ve bought it and would buy again.
The specs say it can lift 14 feet. I can confirm it pushed water straight up 15 feet of 3/8" pipe with plenty of pressure to spare. It looked like a garden hose. This thing can move lots of water fast. Strongly recommend a pressure relief valve in your loop if you run this.
I love that it's stand alone. My latest build has the res in a different location than the pump.
The mounting system requires access to the back of whatever you are mounting to. You can't get a screwdriver at a faster from the front. This is the only reason I can't give 5 stars.
The Bykski saw sucked, everything else was great. Will buy from you again and spread the word.
