Well I got the Swiftech block in:
Internals are the same as the hydrocopper, but externals are classier:
Accessories
The insert plate has a brushed aluminum style finish and looks way better than the tacky hydrocopper insert:
I'd still prefer a one piece top, but this is definitely an improvement over the hydrocopper. The base is chrome plated (not nickel):
The bridge no longer says evga and the swiftech logo glows green instead of red
The edge also has stripes. Overall quite an improvement and $20 less for the swiftech version compared to the hydrocopper. You also get a backplate, but don't get included compression fittings:
I do think the logo is too big though, and would have looked better if it was etched out of the Aluminum
It is pretty meaty though.
I also got a package from watercool:
DHL took nearly 3 weeks to deliver and it arrived in perfect condition lulz
Luckily it was packaged well so everything survived:
The block was in a protective bag, but I removed it for the unboxing video:
Pre cut thermal pads and socket cap screws:
Hole edition:
Plastic standoffs, actual thread is in the copper though:
bridge:
