Corsair plans to enter the custom liquid cooling market, slowly teasing the company's planned water blocks for Nvidia's latest Turing series graphics cards as well as other components such as hardline tubing and other associated accessories. This secret has been known for quite some time, with Corsair taking on a lot of former EK staff to bolster their liquid cooling efforts, including the company's former CEO, Mark Tanko, and CTO, Niko Tivadar. Today, Corsair has showcased their first RTX 20 series water block, showcasing a nickel plated block with purple coolant, revealing features such as a built-in flow indicator and a clean external aesthetic. I have to say this looks very good in my personal opinion.

    I guess I have been under my rock, hadn't heard about ex-EK employees. I hope you can get to and clean the flow wheel, when it gets gunked up.

    I like Corsair products, I really do but imho many of them are overpriced and this product most likely won't be much different.

    I've heard this before but the quality of Corsair products is super and I don't mind paying a bit more for that kind of quality.

    Don't know if this is the norm, but in the video, it looks like the some of the fluid is bypassing the circuit by leaking under the divider in the block.  Look at the left side just as the flow starts.

    It is not normally that much, but it is normal as the amount of pressure required to get the plexi to stop waterflow across the junction would likely crack the plexi. Even the amount in that video would do no harm or have any repercussions to cooling and waterflow.

    Gotcha.. never have messed with water cooling and that kinda jumped out at me.  Thought about doing a sealed CPU unit for my next build.
