anyone used BYKSKI watercooling parts before? Are the parts good and reliable?

So far no bad experiences. Depends on which model actually, I can't say all of them are good. Could you list down the parts you're aiming for?

I'm kinda aiming for the 240mm kit, a full cover block plus another 240mm rad from them. I seen personal reviews of the kit, he claimed that his friend
bought the kit from https://bykski.world.taobao.com/ and only to find out the kit was used.

Here is the full statement from Liger-Zero

Bykski had some quality control issues before but it seems to fine right now. Just checked the my latest stock arrival from them and all of them look perfectly new and complete for delivery to customers. Their full cover blocks are in full box set brand new condition always as well so you shouldn't worry about GPU blocks.

I usually bring down Bykski for the budget liquid cooling range. For normal usage, the kit loop is perfectly fine so far with distilled water used as coolant. If you have the extra cash, I would recommend to go straight for higher end quality products such as Alphacool, Aquacomputer, XSPC and Primochill. My company is an official Malaysia reseller for these brands, more stocks coming next week.

Bykski GPU waterblocks are awesome though, I have no doubts about that.

Thank you for your input, so anyways, i was actually going to buy from you. I just would like to ask a few questions,

1. i did some research knew that the wb is copper and radiator is aluminium, is there a possibility of galvanic corrosion?

2. are killcoils necessary?

3. is the SC600 pump able to through 240mm rad + 120mm rad + 1 gpu block or i need to purchase an additional pump?

i'm still a newbie in the watercooling scene

Glad you have gained interest in the kit. Its good that you're doing research further before buying - thats what true enthusiasts do.

1. Galvanic corrosion is possible since there's a mix of metal in this loop primarily the copper CPU waterblock and aluminium radiator but measures has been taken at production level to ensure prevention and to slow down the process(in case it happens) drastically - copper CPU waterblock is coated.

There are several steps you can take to prevent galvanic corrosion(if you plan to keep this loop for the long run). Insure that all metal parts used in a system are the same. If dissimilar metals are used, like in this situation of the waterblock and radiator, they should not be electrically connected(make sure there's grounding) and should be electrically isolated from one another. The addition of corrosion inhibitors will help slow down the effects of galvanic corrosion when more than one type of metal is used. Bear in mind also, high heat will speed up corrosion of copper but you shouldn't be expecting problems much running at about 40-60 on normal idle/load usage. This loop should be fine for 2 years at least most likely but as stated earlier, if you're in for the long haul, you might want to consider changing the radiator in this kit to Alphacool or Aquacomputer copper ones.

2. Kill coils made of silver could will kill any bacteria, algae or whatever could grow in your loop. There's a crucial need for this only if your loop is using tap/boiled water. I would recommend using pure distilled water(for cars) that you can get for about RM 0.90. Pairing pure water and a kill coil (ultimate play safe combo) will leave you headache-free

3. SC600 would be capable to run through those with 600 L/h. Adding another pump would increase pressure and redundancy of course. Aquacomputer pumps are quite good as well, my price list on full Aquacomputer products should be up soon.

Thanks and have a great day.

KiriKaniathran No offense but a true opinon shouldn't come from the person whose selling the item
It should come from a natural side who has no stake in the sales of the product or a person who has used the said product for a long time
For example, you might want to give your watercooling kits to goldfries so that he can review them

There are tons of users in this forum that can do excellent reviews

No offence taken but I just saw no one replying to this post and decided I should give my two cents. In fact, I didn't even know he was going to get it from me lol. I'm not the only one selling this actually

I've been a user of Bykski long before my company started selling them and in no way have I not told the truth in the above posts. Back then, only with the affordable Bykski pricing, I got my first try at custom and I loved it. Learnt a lot as well and today, I'm a seriously addicted liquid cooling enthusiast. As you can see, I've never forgotten the Bykski brand(kacang melupakan kulit) and decided I should offer them locally alongside my high end liquid cooling and accessories. Its a really good step for beginners without burning a big hole in the wallet.

I write for KLGadgetGuy also so I know what a true opinion is but in this case, mine wasn't only an opinion but I've included facts as well. I sell other products and I won't ever recommend certain Bykski parts if the customer's budget is not within that range or needs.

I even did mention that galvanic corrosion is possible and I did say that the full cover GPU waterblocks from them are good because even my customers who have used the Bykski GPU Full Cover blocks says it is running up to their expectations(yes, they're EK users but due to the crazy EK price today, they had to go for Bykski). I know Goldfries AKA Brian Chong personally and he has stated that custom liquid cooling is a big no no for him to review.

I will definitely distribute kits to those who are willing but the fact is, there is not many liquid cooling enthusiasts in Malaysia that run a tech media site at the same time. Even Kevin Owi (owikh84) from OCDrift has stop accepting review requests. If you know anyone who would be willing and have an official site, please drop me a message or pass them my email, kiri@emarque.co

My exact sentence was

"One thing to note is I don't have custom WC setup so those components are no go."



Big no no because I don't have one setup yet, not because I don't want to review.

haha okay, maybe I misunderstood that. Will contact you back soon enough

Well you're not wrong either, it's still a NO NO now because I can't do anything with it................... unless those parts can work with TT Big Water which I have, but I don't know how good would it be since it's a very basic WC kit unlike those components from EK

Got it, i kinda have a few questions more needed to address

1. By your personal opinion, how good is the Magiccool radiators / McCurry Cool radiators

2. If i replace my aluminium radiators to the copper ones stated in question 1, how long would my loop last?

3. Does radiators above include fittings and the gpu block include fittings too?

Thanks in advance.
