it's about damn time that said, Corsair makes the ugliest gpu waterblocks and they're the only one to force their crap proprietary rgb controller on the buyer instead of mobo control. the Phanteks is the most flash and the Alphacool has the most rgb. EK is still way too much for too little, with no performative improvement just the EK style

Agonist:

I wouldnt touch corsair with anymore. Put the wrong coolant type in it, they will void your RMA and warranty, even when the brand is one the list. My next build will feature nothing corsair. Ill sell of my psu, case, cpu block and they can go to hell. These gpu blocks look like trash, and probally still have the crap tastic leaks. My EK block was $145 for my 6800xt and was only $15 more then all the other blocks I looked at and has more copper in it then the others.

Issue: If the tubing is applying a bit too much force on the manifold (where the ports are at) a leak might develop. Other GPU blocks in the market use 3 screws to hold the manifold whereas the XG7 uses only 2. Workarounds: *Try to tighten the screws, they may still be loose.

Common, it's not THAT ugly. And after all, looks aren't everything right? - remember the ugly duckling story? You people are so superficial...:p With Corsair I am more worried about their official workarounds for problems: Follow their workaround and a crack may develop!:D:p

:p so you didn't buy the backplate... 😎:D
