    well, as a large part of manufacturing is done in China, they are not the only country. Don't forget that there are other SE Asian countries that do there fair share of world trade (Laos, Vietnam. . ) plus let's not count out India. But really, the trend will be in a shift from Asia as labor costs+declining Dollar drive industry into Africa. That's where you're future pumps+blocks+everything will be coming from. . . .

    TO be fair, mine were not BROKEN, they had been assembled wrong. The design is not perfect because without a second O-ring the inner channel the water gets in there, and the leaking problem was because They had not put the O-ring in right. I have now been running both blocks for more than 24 Hours, the temps are awesome and they don't leak at all!

    So I don't know who is screwing these blocks together before they go out, but he needs to watch the training video again...

    I guess it's a trade off for their aggressive pricing. XSPC is damn cheap here.

    It seems this 'bad batch' is over multiple products. As someone pointed out before in another thread, I'm sure XSPC has strict policies but if the workers in the Chinese factory decide to not check there isn't much they can do now.

    Water Cooling - MO-RA3 Pro with 4 Silverstone 180mm @ 700 rpm, Twin Vario mcp-655 pumps
    Samsung 850-1TB SSD,, OCZ ZX-1250W (powerfull and silent)
    Crossfire 30" decent monitor for IPS too bad SED tech died
