I'm concerned, to say at least. Thermaltake is not producing anything, they are rebranding Chinese Bykski blocks (take a look at 1080 Ti block linked in article and search for Bykski 1080Ti - they added cover plate, and that's all). I'm not against rebranding, but Bykski has ongoing issues with quality. I've bought three "general purpose" blocks (universal for chipsets, and other silicon) and six CPU blocks from them, and only two did not leak from the seals. The acrylic they are using is surprisingly resistant to cracking, but it doesn't matter, when it pisses all over you hardware from the o-ring. At this point even the very, very low price (like you can buy their CPU blocks starting at $13!) doesn't mean much.
