Raijintek Antila Pure reservoir - Looking for experiences and feedback please, I've never heard of Raijintek but the product looks amazing

[Euphoria]

I'm looking for anyone with experience with the Raijintek Antila Pure reservoir or the manufacturer as I've never heard of them. I couldn't find many reviews after a few weeks/months of use, most are just unboxings or install reviews.

 

As it's water cooling I'm very nervous about using brands or hardware I can't find tons of reviews on.

Really appreciate anyone's feedback if you have experience with them, thank you.

Raijintek is a relatively popular brand in Asia and Europe (more so Easter Europe).

 

Their stuff is often fine some things are a bit meh but thats usually because its a very budget friendly option so yeah cant give everything there.

 

The only bad thing about this reservoir is that the rgb is a bit weak and you can see the individual leds

Thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it.

 

So it's more of a budget brand, hmmm, I guess that makes sense as the materials are quick thick alloy and tempered glass, if it was made by EK or Bitspower it would likely be double the price.

 

To be honest I won't even bother to plug in the RGB, not interested in that... despite how many extra fps it would add

Thing is that ek isnt exactly top of the line quality either its a name brand

 

Alphacool would be my personal bang for the buck + high quality. EXCEPT for their weird af acrylic reservoirs those are euhh something :p. The regular tubes, boxes, squares,... are all fine but the weird shaped ones arent the best at not leaking over time

Oh yeah, I'm aware EK is nothing special, I like their customer service (from my experiences anyway), I just mean they would be double the price if they had the EK or BP labels on them.

I realise I said that while having multiple EK parts in my system lol. I have only chose them because I liked the look of them and the price.

That image appears to be rendered, but I'm going to assume RGB product pics from the manufactures almost always edit the photos to make it look good. We usually can see the individual LEDs when look at the actual product ourselves. Often the RGB light pics without editing is actually too intense unless the product has extremely well diffused lighting.

I always worry RGB G1/4 thread ports could wear down out and eventually leak.

Yeah, anything with RGB or lighting in general I always take with a pinch bucket of salt, marketing is always going to shew things. 

I don't care about the RGB at all, I only care about the plexi quality because of microfractures and the whole design really, how reliable is it... etc.

 

I have just found that the Heatkiller res's which this one seems to be a copy of are actually available with multiport tops in some locations so those are now an option too

afaik only watercool (heatkiller brand) & aquacomputer reservoir are still using borosilicate glass

the rest of brands are usually acrylic (pmma)

I checked with the manufacturer on this and they confirmed it's not acrylic or borosilicate, it's tempered glass.
