Bykski or AlphaCool GPU Blocks

Hi All,

I am trying to get a waterblock for a Sapphire RX6800XT Nitro+

I have two choices
Bykski for £122
AlphaCool for £129

Please can you advise which one would be better quality wise.

The Bykski one is from Ali Express
The AlphaCool is from AlphaCool direct.

Please advise me on this

Do you have the alphacool one for the rx6800xt?

Ah okay, I was just a little sceptical I suppose as there isn't much online about Bykski but the design on alphacool has soo many O rings

That's great to hear, it'll be good to see that.

Also is that the version with multiple O rings?

I am thinking there are a lot of O rings but then AlphaCool seems like the more recognised brand and there does seem to be support in place whereas Bykski are through Ali Express and support is quite limited.

I really do like that block. I have ordered it now just waiting on it to be dispatched.

I'm currently waiting on the parcel it is delayed due to brexit but is apparently going to be here for Monday

That's strange AlphaCool and Aqua Tuning recommended UPS to minimize issues with delivery, what have you got ordered

Monday came and went and UPS have not updated so I guess its just a patient wait until it arrives.

On a brighter note the German company I got it from replied to my email about having to pay VAT and asked me to send in the invoice when I get it and they will repay what I paid at purchase.

I am in the same boat mate UPS was saying delivery for Monday but no just says Delayed
