Odestar EK-Velocity D-RGB Valve - Nickel + Acrylic, 14cm, CPU Water Block, Desktop Compatible

I bought this EK waterblock just over a year ago and it has failed. The LED's "not a problem, it has a 2 year warranty" (as it says on the offical EKWB website) I thought, until I got in contact with with Scam computers and found out that it was "out of date by 5 months" I had asked for a replacement or even to rebuy it at a lower cost. Considering I spent £96 on it I would hope for it to last more than a year, but I understand that products break, this is why we have warranty's. After going directly to EK, I am in the process of RMA'ing the product. I have bought many items from EK and this has not changed their reputation in my mind. Their Customer support is excellent, prices are better than amazon and shipping is the same speed or a day slower. And the best part, you wont be giving bezos any more money. Please buy all EK products off the EK website.

Not happy with this product as the first one was sent with one of the holes super glued so when I went to see if it would work after being cleared it wouldn’t. I’ve now just received a second one thinking that it must of been a mistake to find that it has also been glued into a 3 pin rather than a 4 pin which is what I need so now I have to get an adapter. 3 stars for great quality and for if I was able to get the rgb to work.

This waterblock looks really well-made, the parts and mounting solution have a quality feel to them. The block is running in my PC now and I've got no issues. It's easy to disassemble for cleaning or to change the jet plate or the orientation of the front. Make sure you connect it up with the right inlet and outlet - it is designed for flow to go one way and not the other. The RGB works well. It came with some decent quality thermal paste as well.

Using this in a full ek setup and it really is the highlight, the little chamfers in the acrylic highlight all the leds and make it shine like a crystal. I will say the mounting nuts are hard to screw on but a little fiddling will get them on regardless. Doesn't include a paper manual but the QR code on the box takes you to an online copy.

As expected top notch quality from EKWB.

The last block I had cracked but did not leak onto my pc so I got a new one to replace it. It got here fast and without problems.
