vinyl waterblocks

heya guys just a quick one as i have never touched pcs before let alone watercooling but i have put vinyl on my waterblocks now. once these warm up do you think they will generate enough heat so the vinyl will produce bubbles or they will be ok ? here they are for anyone who hasnt seen my noob project build

They look very nice.
Your blocks shouldn't be getting hot enough to warp the vinyl. If they do, then there's something wrong

Those are unlikely to be made out vinyl. The black stuff looks a lot like acetal homopolymer. Which won't melt.

I think he's talking about the white stuff...

Oh, that's possible. It looks like a thin layer on top of the acrylic - I thought that was paint.

I doubt anyone would fit a material which fails below 100 to a waterblock though.

yeh they are vinyl wrapped i did the block covers

and then though after maybe they would bubble from the heat but thankyou for your comments
