It would be awesome one day to do a review of some of Chinese water-cooling stuff, like https://www.bykski.us/
Recently I build a bykski water loop and I'm surprised how good it it, half the price with I would gave for EK.

Wow. Looks really nice. I wonder in what orientations it works. Could make for interesting series of test showing amount of bubbles in each orientation.

Man for that price you can buy two premium air coolers and don't have worry about leaks.

It looks like the inertial guidance system for the Jupiter2. Danger Danger young Will Robinson another Rgb to cram in to your pc ! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTKpmwGpzp0KdElS5EUxZzYujUnXPbMcBVpa89O1KykdJuXX6vTDQ
There won't be lights until the future? Anyway this it what it looks like in all its rgb glory. Should call it Studio 54.

Ich möchte ein Eisball sein lol that's what I tought immediately anyway nice to see different things and not always the same pump-reservoirs etc...

looks neat, be warned though the VPP755's has a reputation of short life and beeing really noisy. from what i found the v3 fixed those issue's (but the v2 did not and they claimed it did so....hopefully the v3's will allow them to build some rep).
unfortunate because spec wise they seem nice, lower power draw then a normal D5, more silent and more head pressure ideal...but then you read the 70 page topic's of people complaining it's dead or there's a grinding noise comming from it.
and being refused refund's because they used meyhem's biocide which is about as shady as reasons to reject a refund go because as i understand it (i use mostly premix's myself) it's quite popular/common under those who use water + additives instead of premix's..

And i can buy 3 golf gti/R for the price of a porsche,
still doesn't mean they are the better deal.
I yet have to see any aircooler offering the same type of warranty coverage (time/parts), as corsair pays for any components damaged by a leaking/dying aio for 5 y,
or the fact that im using LC cooling for 15y and didnt have one leak neither on my or rigs i build for others (1-2 per year).
Not even talking about the fact that any LC allows to take the cpu heat "out of the case", giving me lower case/chipset/gpu temps (1080@2ghz stays below 75**C while inaudible), or that i have yet to see an aircooler that stays inaudible (case at 3ft distance to my) while keeping temps on a 3770k (3.9 on all cores) below 70*C under full load (prime95 etc) with the fan spinning at 800rpm.
Water is way more efficient in transferring heat (vs air),
or you would not have things like machines (incl cars) being watercooled.
How long could you stay outisde (without protective clothing)i n 1*C cold air vs water (being the same temp)?

i planning to do a custom loop for my ryzen 3900x and i think im gonna get that reservoir pump combo, doesnt look to big and it looks pretty nice, im still not decided on the waterblock tho, im not sure if im gonna water block my 1080ti, because its getting older now and im waiting to see the next navi chip, i would actually have to go with bykski for my 1080ti because its a zotac amp extreme and it seems they re ¸they only one making a block for it

I mean... when it runs it looks pretty cool I have to admit, reminded me of those things the Borg in Star Trek have above their alcovens but... looks really cheap when not running. Also nut sure if it's smart to put the pump inside that thing and all... will have to see myself if I'd consider this for my next build.
Also, since I've learned that there's SSDs that overheat just because they got RGB leds on them, I doubt it helps coolant temperature to put a dozen leds inside the res.

@jura11
gpu isn't under water, only cpu.
and i don't need a 5y coverage on an air cooler, but its part of the reason why
i considered it and the reason im not worried, as they will replace everything as long as i have a receipt.
and by the time its 5y old, i wont have it anymore anyway. 😀
@msotirov
depends solely on the buyer. for someone with 100K, sure,
for someone with 1M in the bank that wants to go past 200 mph with a car that can handle it properly, no. 😉
