This distribution plate is made of frosted acrylic, so it is not clear. It looks very well made and the 5v D-RGB LEDs make for a very nice touch. One thing you have to look out for is that THIS IS A DISTRO PLATE NOT A RESERVOIR. the groove on the right does not hold enough liquid to be used as a reservoir but I think you may not need one if you use 2 260mm radiators on the case. I have yet to test thermals without a dedicated reservoir but once I do, I will update my review. The item was very well packaged and even though it came from China, it got here very fast. Also, check barrow's website because there are 2 versions of this plate that are compatible with different mobosLooks great but didn't fit the look for my custom build. I really loved the build quality, but I'm having a helluva time trying to return it back to China, and I think the return charges are going to be around 100 bucks.So Its my fault for not paying attention, but you would think a distribution plate designed for my asus case would have aRGB, but its not. It uses a molex for power and has its own controller. Not sure why anyone would build a custo. Water loop and have one piece use its own controller but i will probably be returning this one.Took a lot of custom adapting using raisers and such to work with my eATX motherboard (Asus Maximus IX Extreme) but I was able to get it to work!It was good the control didn't work and the seller replaced it shipping was only 2 weeksThis waterblock is a cool concept unfortunately you won’t be able to find a pump that fits in once the waterblock is installed. The photos provided have plates that are probably custom made to make it look like it fits.Got a brand new plate for my Asus rog case and rgb lights won’t turn on, tried everything and what a pain to have to go through this after paying so much for a plate. Do not buy from this company lots others out there that will provide a better experience for faulty products. Avoid Barrow at all cost.This product work very well. Looks great as can be seen with the EKWB EX Top pump rgb. The only reason the product is given a 4 star is the LEDs were DOA. Easy enough to replace LED strip, especially if you have the skill level to install it and create your own loop.
