Hi!
 
Before buying anything, I'd like to make sure that this isn't some leaking, low quality chinese knock-off thing, but actually a good quality product, so if any of you guys have any hands-on experience with this block or just bykski blocks in general, please tell me about your experience!

Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Bykski is a pretty large brand overseas in the Asian market for watercooling gear, while good I'm not too sure about their warranty and support.

Thanks alot! Good to know that they're at least a big company! That means that they have many costumers and if they sold some really bad products, all of those people would've probably made that clear in the reviews! Have a great day!

I have a Byski X99 waterblock that was OK quality.  I'm not completely convinced the base was made of copper vs. brass or something else,   and the jet plate had some rust on it, but it ran for a year without issue.  The fin structure was comparable to an EK Supremacy block (.3mm spacing)

 

Reminds me that now that I'm not using that block anymore I should probably cut it to see what material its made of under the chrome plating.

Pretty sure they still use copper could be a slightly lower copper content more mixed metals like nickel and other alloys to help reduce cost.
