looks like they started out with a clean sheet of paper, tracing paper lol. I dont know if I would trust those blocks or the plating.

And you never know, they could be contaminated with lead like those made in china baby toys a couple years back. Yes, I spell china with a lowercase c. If you don't know why by now you will never know!

 

Will not use them over Alphacool or anything, but still like to see what they are making

 

So far so good i had to replace the waterblock on my reserator 1 v1 that was corroding . didnt want to spend an arm and a leg plus the same block was available here from another seller for 4 times the amount not to bad after an hr of stress testing beat the old block by 10 degrees so that makes me happy i would need to downclock for better results but i haven't deli-dded the cpu yet(3570k oc to 4.5 1.288 vcore) but no leaks as of now been up and running for 2 days now ganna check block insides in a week to see how its doing but for 12 bucks and 8 shipping a total of 20.29 for a bad asss cpu block really glad i got it looks pretty cool to got the black POM as i read the acrylic can crack so we'll see hope i can help as there's not a whole lot out ther about them but ther shop site taboa or whatever has a tone of reviews on ther blocks mostly good if not great . thanks

 

about $150 got me equivalent of about $800 through dazmode.com.... We will see using it all on 1366 dual xeon server and will see how it goes. Pictures look promising but who knows!

 

Very interested to see how this goes I've got a dual 1366 desktop that could use some cooling love for cheap

 

honestly EK build quality and not a thing to complain about!

where did you buy from?

 

If you are in NA or EU you can use a Taobao agent to help you buy on taobao.com The website itself can be navigated using translate function in Chrome.

Personally I like the Barrrow fittings, good quality and a lot cheaper than Bitspower etc

 

The gpu block I got was from bykski, nothing wrong with it, performance is also great.

150rmb =23 usd
hd7850 mem and core coverage

Also agree, the milling on the fittings is impecible and honestly i think these guys make for bitspower, just prior to powdercoating. Incredible work i never thought china would make such an impressive product without going through a large manufacturer QC and manufacturing line.

 

I've spent the last little while on that taobao.com site. Prices are even better than ebay! Barrow rotary fittings for 5CAD (3 USD) and straight compression tube or straight hardline tube fittings under a dollar each! WOW!

and cpu blocks are like $13 for arcylic ones and about $25 for all nickel one! WOW! I cant order because i can figure out how to get this app on my phone and verify my account ahha.

 

I use Barrow fittings and love them. I might have to try one of these CPU blocks.

You can use an agent to buy from Taobao. Havent used them myself as I order directly (in Hong Kong) but there seem to be quite a few out there such as http://www.yoybuy.com/en/

 

Anyone use Yoybuy.com? I googled them before ordering and complaints have been that they charge insane amounts for shipping. Any drawbacks on using google translate to buy stuff?

 

Ended up not using yoybuy.com. Used google translate, then anything google couldn't translate in browser, I used google translate on my phone to get the bits. Looks like the order is on hold since my credit card is considered international.

Acrylic MCP655 pump top for $15? How can I say no? Also bought a bunch of other stuff

idk how that would work and yeah a lot of things may be lost in translation? Ebay is still pretty cheap and English hahaha

As for price on ebay they are reasonably competitive

Some English translations were something along the lines of "buy baby" and some other crazy stuff. Not sure if I actually bought a baby or not

 

Yeah some translations are a bit well.. unintended i'm sure...

I'm not sure what to make of this carry case .. is it the case itself, or the tablet or is it referring to the contents on the tablet? Or does it come (lol) as an extra buyers gift if you buy a couple of 100 of these cases?

 

Got to say after living in China I'm a huge Taobao fan. Insane amount of things available at great prices and they would deliver in like two days to your door for next to nothing postage cost.
After putting my original build together and realising how much I saved I decided I should also watercool it before I left China.
Agree with others that the Barrow fittings are great. Didn't try Bykski but wouldn't be surprised if their stuff is okay as they have clearly made an effort. The really cheap stuff looks it...

The international credit card thing is a bit of a pain. You basically need an Alipay account. You can call Alipay directly, give them your Taobao details, and ask them what they need to approve the card. Minimum will be copy of latest credit card bill with address, but they might ask for copy of ID etc too.

 

Same here, I get my dad to ship them overseas for me. My dad recives them in china then ships
Which cost approximatly 14 usd to shipp overseas

 

damn still impressive considering. And i agree with others about the baby thing

You have to buy babies to save babies and i figured "who doesnt want to save a baby" lol

At the end of the day, i didn't buy from Taobao only because of the alipay account and little hassles. I bought through ebay as it was just a lot more convient and simple transation. Still only $24CAD (18USD) for CPU waterblock, still one heck of a deal. On the downside, ebay Barrow fittings are quite popular and about the same price as bitspower fittings now. So just bought them all from DazMode.
