options on Bykski cooling parts & lifespan

[w1yov5r4on5]

what do you think of the Bykski B-PMS5-NX-NAR pump & Bykski CPU-RYZEN-X-MK cpu block as budget watercoolin parts an barring any issues could i expect to get 6 plus years of life from these

i plan to use 1 pump an 420mm rad for my cpu an 1 pump an 420mm rad for my gpu

both paired with the Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 in push pull config

A water block is a water block. As long as you keep it clean it'll last forever.
The pump is a D5 knock-off, so expect D5 longevity.

A blessing and a curse. Darn things never die and give you an excuse to uograde. I've got 5 perfectly good cpu blocks because of that now.

Indeed. I think I have just as many.
I still have a Polar Flo block. That thing is more than 10 years old.
EDIT- just looked, 2004, so more like 15 years old.

The only issue was with some nickel plated blocks some years ago but I think it was only related to EK. Some dark spots were appearing and it was reacting with some coolants.
Anyway, I have all 1 block (!!) from Bykski and its quality is in general not much worse than that of top water cooling brands. The only thing that was annoying were thermal pads. They added wrong thermal pads or maybe components on the PCB were measured wrong, and I had a hard time to install it correctly on my Vega. I was correcting it maybe 10 times as each time something had or too low or too high pressure.

There are only good comments about the products listed in post #1 so I guess it's a good investment.
As Jeff G said, I'm replacing CPU blocks more often because I want something new/better looking or I get a review sample, than because I really need to. When it's nickel plated then should work and look good for long years.
