Put simply, didn't like them to begin with, then the flaking issues...now this, has to be near the end for this company unless they wake up real quick. I remember there first products reminding me of the fine quality of a heatkiller WB, now they actually have steered me away from a couple buys in the BST section on here because of all the horror stories. I buy XSPC because of value and performance, not real lookers there product, but these new blocks just look outright thin and cheap.
Edit- Looked at it for a couple minutes, anyone else notice the end of the screws on the CPU block look mere mm's from going straight through? I would be scared to put it back together after a cleaning, being that thin.

please give details

If they tried to blackmail two vendors why hasn't legal action been taken?

EK is a joke. Plain and simple.

Here you go Pab. Oh, and Rubidium is a member at another forum who tested the block. He knows his stuff... Rubidium holds a B.S. in Chemistry / Physics / Electrical Engineering / Applied Mathematics and who also holds a PhD in Nuclear Physics.

Looks like a dogs breakfast, which now happens to match their plating and machining quality. Quicker they're gone the better.

I donīt like the new design !! :( Milky Plexy is ok, but not those circles all over. And the GTX680 block looks very boring.

After how they've handled themselves the last 3 years I don't see that happening.
