Yes I was impressed, yes I didn't think this kit would be that good, and yes If I were a consumer looking for a new water cooling kit than I would definitely keep this one in mind. Gigabyte paid great attention to detail, the parts used are not flimsy or any way cheap. Except for the radiator that could have been better, for example a Black ice radiator or something. Gigabyte also included their own fluid, because mixing aluminum ( radiator ), and copper ( block ) is not a good option unless your using some kind of fluid that makes it work together. Overall im very pleased with this kit, it looks great and it performs great as well. Also check out their web site for more water blocks and accessories.
