I'd rather see 2 larger fads instead of 3 with two smaller rads.
I read somewhere that the finish on the contact surface for xspc blocks were downright terrible. Any room for lapping here? The kit IS good value for money.
Who sees that side anyways. Its going to be contacting the CPU and that heats up. As long as the internal channel design is up to par and no debris is in there you're good to go.
You can see the hallmarks of an unpolished surface regardless of the plastic cover although yours looks a lot prettier. The pic i posted is the Raystorm GPU block and not the CPU block and if you look at the pic below, it may be that they've started polishing their blocks after all the complaints.

Probably doesn't matter much when watercooling anyway. If it turns out to be unpolished, I'll do it myself and if I'm not able to, I'll get an EVO.
