The base of the water blocks is made of copper and nickel plated. The cover material is transparent acrylic plastic. Depending on the variety, the lid has black or chrome aluminum trims. In the place where the water block adjoins the GPU, an array of microchannels is formed on the inner side of the copper base. As a full-coverage waterblock, the Glacier G30 Strix also removes heat from memory chips and power components. The water blocks are adorned with addressable lighting.
Separately, a water block with black pads costs 200 dollars, with chrome ones – 212 dollars. The black back panel costs 50 dollars, chrome – 60 dollars. The waterblock and plate kit costs 225 dollars if you choose the black version, or 236 dollars if you choose chrome.
