I learned about skiving when I started researching building a watercooled PC. Optimus is building some nice heatsinks/water blocks in Chicago. They’re using a micro CNC process for very fine fins in their cold plates, and mention some of the differences on their site. https://optimuspc.com/products/optimus-gpu-replacement-cold-...



Thanks for this link, I was not aware of this company before and they look like an awesome waterblock company. Good USA based alternative to EK (with less selection obv.)


The other good brand is Heatkiller. Their pump/res combos are really nice, as are their water blocks.


That’s my CPU block currently :) https://flic.kr/p/2mXfr6t


"Choose corrosion-proof electroless nickel finish when using liquid metal" !?

What are people using?


They’re referring to liquid metal thermal compounds, essentially a next-gen replacement for thermal paste that has higher thermal conductivity.
