Did I get the wrong waterblock?

Not even close. Try and send it back. Frozen CPU should be good about it.

So I recently just placed an order on FrozenCPU for the EK Supremacy CSQ Gold plated block and this is what I got today:

I'm pretty sure they sent me the wrong item because the top is supposed to be see-through acrylic so I could see the gold plating on the bottom but I just wanted to double check with you guys who are probably way more experienced in WC'ing then I am.

Should I attempt to get a replacement? I already peeled the bottom sticker that keeps the block surface shiny.  :unsure:

RMA that thing, it's not the gold plated one, order it directly off EK's website.

 

This is an option, although I have had good luck and good service from FrozenCPU. YMMV.

Contact Joe from Frozencpu or any of their other workers, they will rectify this error for you.
