Swiftech Komodo HD7970 Preview

[ElGreco]

I fully understand your satisfaction about the customer care provided by Swiftech (Gabe, Stephen, Michelle). I have exchanged dozens of emails with Gabe and he was always there to support. They are real professionals!

Regarding the bubbles, I already discussed this with Gabe, since I had ordered the NEW batch of the blcks and should not see any, but it seems i am not that lucky. Gabe is looking on this issue, but still i will keep the blocks. (once more he immediately responded to my email, eventhough i am sure that he was very busy with the release of the new collection of fittings by swiftech )

Below is a picture where i compare the two blocks i got, side by side. The left block is perfect (only 3 minor bumps) while the right block has a not so good sticker job with more than 9 big bubbles. That what worries me a little is that it seems that the screws underneath the sticker protrude not in the same amount, others more, others less, others nt at all and i dont know if some are overtightened while others are loose. By the way, the bubbles on the right block are much more visible than shown in the picture...
...you have something similar to the right block (bubble wise) or is it better in your case?

Also, I would really like to know what was the exact problem of your block, since i have already lost a card due to a severely bending swiftech epsilon block and cannot afford to loose my 2x 7970. As so, i have become very conservative and have to double check everything before the installation!
