Chunky mounting plate – I like that it attaches to the main block and isn’t loose like some others:
Surface looks uniform unlike the alphacool:

These are after testing, there is some staining, however coolant wasn’t changed between blocks, so it can’t necessarily be attributed to Koolance.
Jetplate and top:
Removing jetplate with it’s small o-ring:
Staining is close to the o-rings:
Base shows very fine channels:

Conclusion
The CPU-370 has now been replaced by the CPU-380 which is a better block thermally. The 370 though is still a good performer and is aided by the fact that it has the correct channel orientation for socket 2011 by default. It has a great mount and a solid feel. The manufacturing quality looks good and the flow is decent. I have no hesitation to recommend the block however the CPU-380 is similar but simply better!
Summary – “Above Average 7.5/10”
