Sayaa,

The thing about the waterblock that is included is this.

First off people are wanting removable barbs so with G1/4 threading so that they can put whatever barbs they want in there, use their compression fittings and what not.

This is better for everyone so that they can whatever barbs they want so they can use whatever tubing they want.

Being an enthusiast board that includes watercooling parts you would have thought that this would have been a priority. Save you on cost of the block also seeing as the barbs that are on there now wouldn't be so you'd have less materials.

As far as the Bronze top, how is that going to effect corrosion. With like properties or whatnot, it's still not copper.
