oh and you can keep the circles and the RGB ;)
Always looking for the next thing to try and build so I keep my eyes and mind open to options, I haven't seen much neg about EK so
Secret links? Lol.

2011.
Edit: Anyway, unless a link is provided...looks like things were resolved quite a bit ago on their issue. :)
Yeah I'm glad I got you laughing. Need more of that than the toxic bs around here.
Hmm... missing the point?
Iam happy with other brands.
Plating was never strong suit of EK to put it mildly.
EK is past. Over past 15 years there was no improvement in plating at all. I have numerous Watercool/Bitspower/Alphacool/Koolance blocks and I have no issues in years. EK, with my old 970 flaking started after few days. Same with 1080Ti blocks, just don't buy that expensive crap - got it only because it was first, but since switched. RGB is probably included so you won't see issues developing...
