Bykski waterblock first impressions

Bykski Waterblock i found on ebay under $40 shipped!
here is what i think of this thing.

[@TGDevilDog]

bykski has been in the business for awhile, These guys aren't messing around they make good stuff. its definitely not cheap. This just happens to be the cheapest block they make... and its t92 nickel plated copper

[@TefenCa]

In their latest revision of this same block they added coolant collection areas & properly smoothed out and polished the block's surface. I have both versions and actually in the middle of doing a comparison video as I watched this.

[@mikesteven1133]

Did you ever get that review up.

[@TefenCa]

P.S. The LED usually come with a typical 4-pin Molex connector wired to the RED 5+ wire. I would not suggest running it at 12v too long if it doesn't have the correct resistor on it because you might blow the LED. I also noticed from having both an older and newer version that the LED color they send with it is often random with the 1 I got from my older version being Blue and the newer version coming with Green.

A nice waterblock for a good price !

[@mikesteven1133]

Just picked this block up for $16.35 Canadian with epacket shipping included.

Friend , talk about tje quality of the material And how it compares with the ones who cost 60 $ or more

[@d3115uxor]

this is honestly the first waterblock i ever bought. before this, i was using a corsair AIO. so.... i really dont have anything to compare it with.

[@thefullsetup]

Just ordered mine I thought I would get to see it in the loop seeming as the video is 20 minutes long.

[@arnmazing3156]

Have you installed it yet?

[@waltgiff2014]

im new to water cooling and was wondering what are the fitting size it needs

[@d3115uxor]

Walt Giff just uses the standard G1/4 thread. For fitting size, depends on tubing size.

[@ivrpcworks7849]

any bad or good results?

[@ElaBellll]

smooth does not necessarily mean better thermals, rough = more surface area which can mean better thermal transmission.

[@Escalofrios29]

Do you know what's lapping a cpu?

[@clayzr4716]

I found the same one for $15 us

[@arnmazing3156]

Is it copper, nickel, aluminum?

[@recon94xita10]

copper

[@WinZard]

copper nickel plated

[@tankias_pt]

Any cracking after using it?

[@d3115uxor]

tankian the man still running it with no problems! I’m just have plain distilled water in the loop

[@davestp4436]

Any uptade on leak pressure test

[@d3115uxor]

dave stp so here is the deal, I wasn’t expecting it to do but bare minimum for me. I was wrong! No leaks after running in a high pressure loop!!!!! Temperatures of my old 3950k have not exceeded 65c@ full load with 4.3 OC. No complaints here

[@protechnician83]

How are the temps?

[@d3115uxor]

idle on my 3970k sits at 31, full load and an hour of gaming brings it to 50... my fans are set to silent all the time and there is 2 240 radiators in the loop

[@eugenkrause5556]

That acrylic will crack like they all do. I'm trying to get the all metal version

[@d3115uxor]

Eugen Krause I’m still running it in my loop. No issues with it yet. I’ll be sure to post any failures that I experience though
