Anyone heard of Bykski?

So recently I've been trying to find a water cooling block for my GPU. I have the GIGABYTE Nvidia 1080ti G11. https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N108TGAMING-OC-11G#kf That's the link to the GIGABYTE's product website.

I've only found two compatible blocks that fit the card;
1) https://www.alphacool.com/shop/gpu-...orce-gtx-1080ti-pro-m19-incl.-backplate-black

2) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Byk...lgo_pvid=c51af022-8d3a-4190-9026-b6a452f3f2c3

I was hoping to get a full cover block like the Bykski model so I'm wondering if anyone has any dealings with this company and what was the experience like?

If I'm correct I believe the company is Chinese and I don't want a cheaply made product that might leak etc.

Thanks for any feedback!

If its on alibaba it would be very likely its Chinese, I would not expect any warranty or service other then getting the part.

Yeah the same sort of thoughts were expressed on the forums where I found this water cooling block https://linustechtips.com/main/topi...block-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-gaming-oc/.

People seem to give it a good review though. Just wanted to get some feedback from users on this forum as well and if anyone had experience with the block.

Seen quite a few stunning builds using expensive cards and CPUs with Bykski blocks and people have reported no issues.

I think there’s a big thread on the US overclock forum.

BobsleighBishop · 24 Apr 2018 at 15:45

Ah thank you for the feedback Dempsy!

Do you have the link to the US forum thread that I could have please??

I have a bykski block at home now for my 1080 AMP extreme as it's the only block I could find that would fit. As someone who has no experience with GPU blocks I may not be the best to comment but it looks clean enough and has some noticeable weight to it.

Only thing I would complain about is you can see a few machining marks on the back side of the block so it's not perfectly smooth.

Just waiting for me new case before I get it up and running.

No first hand experience but heard lots of good reports on them. Good VFM apparently along with Barrow.

I have 2 bykski blocks,both from the mentioned site,one is for cpu and one is a generic gpu die block only,been running them about 12 months with no problem at all,infact I ordered a bykski full cover waterblock 10 days ago from that site but the seller is messing me around with a fake tracking number so I'm opening dispute today from the very same seller you linked to...he has no stock of the blocks and has to order them from the factory..just a heads up.

If looks are anything to go by, it does look like a nice block

I have a bykski threadripper block, it's great.

fastboy · 3 May 2018 at 12:41

well my gpu block arrived for the 1070 asus dual card..looks lovely and stress testing gpu with a mild overclock of 400/150 I haven't seen temps go above 35c after 30 mins,thats with a 8600k in the same loop on a 420mm radiator and magicool 450 pump/res combo...very impressed.

it even came with an rgb box that connects the rgb strip in the front of the block into it but not tried that yet until I get my lian li case.

That box is the only thing I am a little disappointed with I was hoping it would just be a 4 pin connector I could plug into the motherboard.

yes I'm not sure what fans or other rbg strips you can use with it,they look like small 4 and 6 pin conectors,i know a standard fleabay rbg strip doesn't fit because I have some here already,would like 4 rgb fans I can plug in ideally.

Thank you all for the replies guys, I went a head and ordered the gpu block and received it this morning! All looks fine and dandy. Will have to wait till tomorrow to install it now but will let you guys now how it goes.

Had a look this evening the LED strip on the base of mine has the RBG lines and ground labeled i may try wiring a 4 pin header to it.

fastboy · 4 May 2018 at 10:16

well I have one of those cheap rgb kits off fleabay so might have a go too at adding a normal sized plug

fastboy · 6 May 2018 at 21:01

ok I just re soldered the bykski rbg strip onto one of those larger 10mm 4 pin male/male plugs and it works perfect now
