Great product - none of the 3 issues reported in this block

You have an EVGA 2080ti Gaming. My hybrid kit ended up with an annoying pump squeal, so I decided to just jam it (the kit is nowhere to be found). Found this for sale at Revain and decided to give it a try.1. I knew the whole story about "multiple faults" on them. So I ran it straight from the pump at full blast (vertical, ports at the back, slight bend with soft hoses) for a week before installing it. Zero problems or signs of leaks. It stayed in my rig for another month with no problems (one GPU, cycle 240 rad).2. I use Hydro X Series XL5 Performance Coolant (Clear) and the gauge works fine, I haven't had the problems some have mentioned with clogging and stalling. It still works cleanly and consistently.3. I also have an iCue Commander Pro, but that unit came with a 3-pin RGB adapter. I tested it with a cheap adapter (the blue one you see) and it works fine. So you don't need an iCue to run RGB. Finally, if you see this for what I paid for ($79), this is an amazing purchase. Easy install, great temps, really clear block for a silver/black build
