It's a large heatsink. Unsure why that is the case. It almost touches the SSD heatsink on the ASUSTUF Gaming B650-Wifi. But it looks good and it works great. Really enjoy BYKSKI products.
The i7-13700K is a heater and this sink didn't quite get it done. Due to power requirements, heat issues, etc. I chose to refactor my setup favoring an AMD solution that had comparable performance and lower wattage. I got a BYKSKI for the new rig and works perfectly.
Even though it went right on 5070 the fit was great the most important part was I needed the coolant ports on the end of the cooler as this is in a small form factor case. But it looks so good in there. It's not finished yet but couldn't have been a better choice.

More clear documentation would be nice but overall it's a pretty easy install if you have worked with water blocks before. Performs well knocked GPU temps from 75°C down to 45°C under full load.
Looks good, works good. I would buy another.
Support said they didn't have the water block I needed. I went and did my own research and found the block that fit the board instead of the named gpu. The block works great but I would jot rely on there support for any help.
grew up in idaho and only after i ordered saw that they are based there, which makes me even happier to report that the product is great and i'd recommend it to anyone.
Check it out for your self
I love the look of it just black metal rather than a bunch of RGB and plastic.
It has kept my GPU temps low even when full immersed in game. Best quality waterblock that I have purchased.
I love BYSKI waterblocks. there are easy to assemble and contain everything you need to install and get your system up and running.
I can't speak to the performance of the block as I don't intend to use it. The block is pictured as all-black, however as you can see in the attached picture, the terminals and the steel top of the block are finished in a shiny gun-metal gray. I'm sure this is a performant block, but I would not have made this purchase if the images selling the block represented the delivered product as it clashes with my build.
Be careful were you locate this although it’s a very solid component the stiffness of the valve can lead to issues opening and closing if proper access is not available. 5 out of 5 though
It fits well how ever i wish you made a full cover water block back plate as well and sold them as a set.
Its a three rad dual pump system with chilled air its not pretty but functional!
I needed a higher flowing pump and this made the top of my List. No complaints.
Solid hunk of metal that cools my GPU. I'm satisfied.
In addition to the small opening of the power supply cable that prevents a 90° cable to be put through it, the back plate is a bit too thick and requires modification in order for it to fit in a motherboard that has a pcie slot. I don't recall having the same issue with other water blocks or air cooled units, but it's like the designers weren't playing attention to proportions.
There are also missing some thermal pads that stock configurations did have.
Good designs, and their US store provides great service!
However your products are very good quality and I keep coming back for more. This valve is very compact and very good looking as well
thumbs up
I didn’t buy this water block because of the BYKSKI name; it was the only one available when I bought the 7900XTX Sapphire Nitro Plus for a ROCm AI build. I mainly use EK and Alphacool for water blocks, and I would have bought one of them, but alas, this was the only one available. To start off, the **** holes do not perfectly align. The silicone thermal strips included in the kit were smashed in transit because there was nothing to prevent the water block from doing so. The documentation was unacceptable; there is a nut on the block that needed to be removed, or it would crush a part of the PCB, obviously meant for some other model of 7900XTX. There are way more screws and some types of screws not needed, which is confusing. The backplate has two different types of **** holes and only one type of **** for this install. My biggest gripe is that there was no reduced-size PCIe plate for the GPU after adding the water block. In systems with many PCIe slots, one reason people watercool is to make them available again. But if the PCIe plate is not replaced with a reduced-size version, the PCIe slots are still useless under the GPU.
I build a lot of computers, but I would say unless documentation, quality control, and attention to detail improve, it will be my last BYKSKI water block.
Using the stock cooler i was consistently in the 80s and sometimes 90s if run at stock speed. With the waterblock, it's consistently in the mids 60s on the hottest days and on cool days it's in the 50s at 100% GPU utilization.
I needed to replace a strip in my Phantex distro plate... worked great.
I have had this water block on my Gigabyte 5080 for a few months now, and found the installation to be straight forward and relatively easy to do. I especially like the versatility of the input/output ports for cooling tubes. Top notch! The cooler temps are nice, but was it even nicer is the much smaller volume footprint that this water block brings inside your case. I fidn it much more aesthetically pleasing than the giant air cooled solutions out there. Thanks for making a quality product!
