Small time competitor really competing? XSPC X20 Kit

They're called "Z" brackets and if you can get you hands on some thicker aluminum strap metal and a dremel and a drill you could make a set yourself in about 30 minutes.

To help prevent any vibration transmited through the rad via pump pulses you can even put smaller rubber grommets between the brackets and the rad and case as isolaters.
 
Any review that starts with two pages of pictures/discussion of the bloody packaging raises a red flag in my book.
Unless the cardboard cleverly origamis into something useful like a fan duct, I don't want to read about it.

I'd also like to see a comparison with it's most likely competitor, the TT BigWater kit.
 
Just judging by appearences, it doesn't look like a CPU block that can compete head to head with a tdx. Maybe it gets better temps because of the completely different setup (pump, rad, etc), but I highly doubt that it's actually, empirically "better".
 
The waterblock in their kit is a Zern block - see www.zern.at
The radiator is the Chinese clone of the Innovatek DualRadi as used by AlphaCool, Radiical and several other companies - again just add your own badge.
The pump is one that used to be used EONS ago by a few companies - can't remember exact make n' model...

Long n' short, tis a combination of cheap kit repackaged by XSPC. No "proper" reviews or testing has been seen for any of the components...
