Help installing a Bykski block on Vega 64

I'm buying a reference Vega 64 from the MM with the intention of water cooling it and from what i've read the Bykski blocks only come with Chinese instructions. I've never water cooled anything before so i'm just wondering how difficult i might find the installation process. I've searched Youtube but cant find an installation video for a reference card.

My only other option would be to try and find a 2nd hand EK block but who know how long that would take.

Thanks
 
A retailer that specialises in watercooling components based in the UK has the Alphacool Eisblock GPX-A plexi AMD RX Vega M01 in stock with a 15% off offer at the moment. They also have the EK-FC Radeon Vega RGB in stock with the same offer available although this looks too garish to me but then again I hate RGB.

Thanks, i thought everywhere was out of stock. I've been putting my water cooling parts together with a fairly strict budget which is why the Bykski appealed and from what i've read it's actually a very good block.

If i cant find any instructions i may have to end up buying one of the two you mentioned. Hopefully the RGB is optional on the EK block, i cant be doing with silly lights.
 
I ended up taking the plunge and ordered the Bykski. It wont arrive for a few weeks probably but neither will my hardware labs radiator so thats ok. I finally managed to get the bykski website to work and the instructions actually look OK, even though most of the writing is in Chinese.
 
Got cold feet and canceled my Bykski order. Will probably order a Heatkiller even though they're a bit more than i was hoping to spend.
