They look rather nice in the black! Look like they'd be quite a universal fit with the swingbracket design too.

Whats with all these crooked chipset waterblocks lately? I understand they need to make them universal to keep them profitable, but I personaly like things in my case to line up straight. At least make the block universal, but have a series of hold-down plates for proper compatibility that can be sold separately. With the wonky installation, these blocks just do not appear esthetically appealing to me.

depends how its mounted...
think if its all the way towards the middle it would be square, then it gets more and more diagnol if that makes sense?
so depends on mobo

It looks like that, when correctly mounted

I like them too, and the fact, that you can mount the blocks on many boards - thx to the universal mechanism
