It's interesting your observation about the pads that were too thin in the EK kit. I actually was surprised of the opposite with the Bykski kit, with these thick pads. Now, I guess thick is better than thin, in this context.
Regarding spending time while installing Win 11 concerned that the GPU...
Good point about having done it already to know what to do.
No issue with the quality, though. This is my second Bykski videocard water-block. Both times I opted for this brand because it was the only one making blocks for my cards. Eventually, I can confirm that the quality is very good...

It took...
It's done!
The block arrived on Jan 15th.
Below the steps for installing it.
I ordered the GPU block, RGB, and back-plate.
