Let's play the "What Rev. Swiftech Stealth" game!

[LanPirate1]

My first foray into water cooling after some years sitting on the fence. I ordered lots of Swiftech stuff, including two Stealth VC blocks. Well, they look completely different from one another, like twins from a different mother. I have to RMA the bad one, they did not even tap the holes properly. And the milling, dont even get me started. I think it was coffee break time on the line when they were making this one.

Ok, guessing time. Lets figure out which Stealth is the actual REV2 block. Both boxes say REV2, the website says REV2, but as I said they couldnt be more different. Not shown in the pics, both bases look bowed to me.

the bad block

SO what do you think? I am RMA'ing the badly milled, badly tapped block, but the other block, is it really a REV2 block, if not I should RMA it also.

If the good block has a bowed base, then shouldn't it be a Rev. 2

Maybe the bad block was a lemon from the production line
