Yea they just mill the base to be pefectly flat. Machining those pins would cost prolly 100 dollars a piece. Where as forging is much easier and cheaper and produces better results

Do D-Tek actually make their water blocks? Or do they design and have them made by a capable third party with CNC machines etc?

We know Radiators are done like this and just rebranded. Masterkleer tubing is also the same which is why you get users who have clear Masterkleer and others have cloudy.
I am pretty sure that D-Tek and Swiftech out source the work not that it makes a big difference. DangerDen does all their work in house on their own cnc machines.
