Just out of curiosity, where are those 1mm LEDs avl? mosts common size for waterblocks seems to be 3/5mm leds.

Good looking water block. May give this one a go if I buy the GTX 1080 in ~September.

If I know Phanteks, the block will include 3 x 1mm LEDs in each color, just like their cases. They're actually showing red, blue, and green, what, no white? And no RGB, I guess they want to be different...

I wonder if this is a speciality product, there's no industry standard 1mm dia round (and thru hole) LED.
