Corsair to out GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 waterblock
It is a full-cover type that cools the GPU core, memory, and power supply circuit together, and the heat receiving base is made of pure copper with a nickel-plated finish.
In addition, the GPU contact part is equipped with high-density micro fins to efficiently cool the latest GPUs exceeding TGP 300W. Furthermore, in addition to black-painted aluminum, an acrylic window is mounted on the top cover. It also has 16 iCUE-compatible addressable RGB LEDs built-in, and you can build a colorful PC by combining it with a colored coolant. Other detailed specifications have not been disclosed at this time, but the product comes with an aluminum backplate.
-- Corsair --
With a core block made from precision milled nickel-plated copper and a total-conversion shroud finished in stylish black aluminum, each XG7 RGB Water Block provides the premium cooling your graphics card needs to reach its full performance potential. More than 50 high-density micro-skived cooling fins sit atop the GPU core, fed by a high-flow coolant channel that allows for massive thermal transfer from the GPU to your custom cooling loop’s coolant. The transparent acrylic top plate provides a crystal clear view of the flow channels and your coolant, making it a highlight of any custom cooled PC.
The XG7 RGB’s total conversion design cools more than just the GPU though, with active cooling for the entire card’s memory and VRM, encased in a durable and refined aluminum casing with a full-length aluminum backplate. It is also the only GPU water block currently on the market with pre-applied thermal material and thermal pads, making installation quick, easy, and totally clean – no measuring, cutting, or spreading required.
16 Individually addressable RGB LEDs are integrated directly into the XG7 RGB, delivering vibrant, customizable lighting when combined with CORSAIR iCUE software and a CORSAIR iCUE RGB Lighting Controller such as the iCUE Commander PRO. RGB Lighting can be synchronized in iCUE, along with other components such as Hydro X Series CPU Water Blocks, Pump/Reservoir Combos, and iCUE-compatible CORSAIR components and peripherals, to create a spectacular light show across your whole system.
Whether your next upgrade is an RTX 3080 or top-of-the-line RTX 3090, CORSAIR Hydro X Series XG7 RGB GPU Water Blocks unlock the true potential, and performance, of today’s most powerful graphics cards.

EK tried that. It gets really tricky, because you need to sell every block pre-filled with fluid and include quick disconnects at each hose point. QDCs are really large and bulky, are both unattractive and hard to work with, and are pretty pricy, even cheap ones cost $5 each, and they aren't something you want to go cheap on.
Clear tubing has its own laundry list of issues, between getting discolored and breaking down with age, putting plasticizers into your fluid. There's not one brand of tubing that isn't significantly yellowed after a year in use; most custom loop builders just replace it, since it's the cheapest part of any loop anyway.

So in fact you want a cooler from another real WC brand lol
Now if only they would have a range of AIO coolers that allowed you to add in this GPU block (matching copper internals etc) and a reservoir... If said cooler also had clear tubing... Surely that is a recipe for a WIN?

Looks like they're using 3 screws now, no more leakage.

I'm using one of their pump/res combos right now, and only because it was cheap and in stock, and I needed it next day. If the quality is the same, I don't think more screws will help - literally everything on my unit except the pump (which is actually a very nice D5) is made from extruded nylon. Tighten anything just a LITTLE too much, and it'll leak forever.
