Is this waterblock fine?

Hi there, I want a Radeon VII waterblock and I stumbled across this one

https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/gpu-water-blocks/gpu-full-cover/eisblock-gpx/24452/alphacool-eisblock-gpx-a-plexi-light-amd-radeon-vii-incl.-backplate?sPartner=googleshoppingusa&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj6WLhqn-5AIVFMZkCh0TvwxrEAQYAyABEgLNj_D_BwE

Is it fine? It's WAY cheaper than all the alternatives, is it decent?

Ooooo it's Alphacool, should be fine. They make solid stuff from everything I've seen. IDK how it performs vs the competition though, I run an EK block and didn't know anyone else made them (I wanted a Heatkiller IV but Watercool didn't end up making them as far as I can tell).

Alphacool/OCOOL are a well known watercooling brand. I don't know how I feel about those plastic threaded ports though. I feel like if you crank the fitting too tight and the GPU gets hot it may form micro-cracks and leak.

Just a personal thought. Not my type of aesthetic either.
