XSPC Razor 7970 Full Cover Water Block Prepared for SLI With 7 G1/4 Ports Twin LED

Comment:
This block was the last holy grail for watercooling my 7950. I went to hell and back in making it happen, ordering Alphacool blocks from Europe that did not fit. But I am digressing.First of all, this block looks amazing when you manage to light it up. The cables for the LED's are quite short, so if like me you were building a tricky system in a mATX cube, it may bother you a little.Performance-wise, being a first time water cooler I am blown away. My GPU is maxed out over-clocked and runs in the mid 50C. I have read a couple of reviews, including one mentioning that this block only passively cooled the VRM. So far it has not really hurt my gaming experience though.The biggest con, which pushes me to knock one star off is that my piece should have never passed quality control. It misses one screw hole in the GPU section. I do not think that it will reduce significantly the performance of the block as overall contact is assured by the other 14 screws. However, it is a disappointment when you look at the price of this water cooling piece. On that note, I admit that I was glad to find it on sale and below $100, even if I think it could cost even less. I have the chance to live in the GTA, that made free pick up available to me.NCIX, if you read this, please drop  the price of a reference design 7950 so that I can afford one with that block for a Crossfire set-up. One can only ask.Cheers.
